I reckon it’s about time our owners said enough is enough.
What other capitalist enterprise in the world allows your main competitors to introduce rules aimed at one particular business to restrict ability to invest and expand?
Come on folks, get the lawyers in

My God though, his injuries are beyond laughable now, it's just a constant stream of them. Weirdly he never seems to go off in a game like a player with hamstring problems would, it's always something we hear about in the pre-match press conference. I think Howe thought today was winnable without him, but Man U away would be too important to risk him against Brighton and then again midweek.
The trouble is, you can't replace him without silly money, you do not get a player with his goal per game/per minute ratio for less than 100 million, and even then it isn't guaranteed. Having said that, you'd sacrifice his goals for a striker with all round play who can actually stay fit, and ultimately that's why he won't stay beyond the summer. Howe will want to keep him, the club will take the sensible decision not to renew his contract for an extra season.
Top, top player and he will go with the best wishes of the fans, but I will be amazed if he lands anything other than a pay as you play contract as a 3rd striker somewhere.
Agreed. I can't see anyone actually playing him for anything other than pay as you play
