This feels like it's about to get really messy.

Dont think there's much chance Mbappe goes to Saudi Arabia. PSG will presumably accept the bid anyway to try and force Real to submit one.

Real Madrid have already spent €130m this summer and would have planned the financial ramifications of the Bellingham & Mbappe signings in 2023 & 2024 a while ago.

Mbappe to the bench for a year?

Bassey doesn't want to go to England apparently.

I don't understand why clubs put in bids for players without, seemingly, ever contacting their agent to see if they're interested.

The goal vid bot is pretty much dead btw. Lemmy.world admins have said bots reposting content from reddit are banned.

I've read a few stories about PSG finally doing something about player power. Whether its true or not is difficult to say at the moment as the Mbappe case is an outlier.

Once some player turnover occurs there's a good chance the club will just become a mess again.

 

Paris Saint-Germain feel Kylian Mbappé wants to leave for free in 2024 — he did not communicate anything yet despite Al Khelaifi’s public statement.

PSG decided to EXCLUDE Kylian from Japan tournée.

A pretty strong statement to exclude him from the preseason tour.

Edit: from reading a bit more, PSG have royally fucked this up. They've allowed Mbappe to cash in massively on both PSG wages and RM signing bonus and there's nothing they can do other than bench him.

Its just never ending for him. The questions must be driving him insane too.

I tried to make one but it just turned out shit.

The video bot for goal highlights I mentioned previously seems to be working btw. It copies the post title and url to the video from reddit and posts it here automatically. If it's ok with you I can start it running 24/7 in the next few day to see how it goes? I can try to adjust it if necessary based on how that goes.

Apologies for the post, just a video bot test.

Thanks. I've sent a message to u/MushroomMan89 to see if he can add you as a mod.

I don't really have any interest in becoming a mod tbh. After the post from a few days ago, I was just wondering what will happen to the community if there is no one to steer the ship.

If we start getting spam or something we're stuck with it. If the community starts to grow we're stuck just making standard posts without stickied posts, no bot accounts to make regular posts etc.

I can try to help with bots or something but I'm no expert.

I was keeping an eye with the formula 1 communities the past few weeks. One on lemmy.ml and another on lemmy.world. lemmy.ml was clearly bigger and more active. The end of June came and suddenly everyone started joining lemmy.world as it was open to new registrations and, because they didn't quite understand how the instances work together, lemmy.world/c/formula1 suddenly grew significantly and became the bigger community.

Being on lemmy.world is an advantage just now as new users recognise it when looking for communities.

When an oil depot gets blown up a handful of miles from a track and the race still goes ahead you know Saudi Arabia will keep it's f1 race for a while yet. It would be interesting to see the amounts paid by the race organisers to host. Presumably Abu Dhabi are top due to hosting the final race of the season.

Here's the conversation if anyone is interested. I don't think asking an instance admin is the right thing just yet.

Thought this required its own post as we might need to create a new community.

I managed to get in contact with the creator of the community (same username on reddit). I don't think he's coming back to lemmy. He's offered to delete the community if that frees up the name for us to create an identical community on lemmy.world. I don't know if that's possible or if the community can be transferred to another user instead.

Staying on lemmy.world seems like a good idea imo as new arrivals will gravitate towards that.

Anyone have any ideas of the best way forward? Anyone fancy being an admin/mod lol?

Edit: He might not be permanently gone. Just coming back every once in a while.

Here's the conversation if anyone is interested.

This thing has been in my garden since I moved here and it's always just been pushed up against the side of the fence. I want rid of it now but I haven't got a clue what I'm removing. Its about 1 metre away from a telegraph pole. Nothing on the other side of the fence.

When the rod at the top reaches the fence it just goes straight down into the ground. I can rotate it around that point but no matter how much I pull/rotate it, it wont come out.

Another image after rotating it here:

Edit: Solved. It's a turnbuckle previously used to hold up the telegraph pole.

 

Slightly editorialised headline to the article by the looks of it.

Spanish coach will be unveiled once the club completes the exit agreement with Christophe Galtier, very close.

 

Personal terms, not as issue — now Chelsea prepared to ‘attack’ the deal.

Never easy or fast negotiations with Brighton. Chelsea, on it.
