The Football League aren't happy

aggi

Why didn't we need to generate money from other revenue streams under Mike Garlick to be in the Premier League? Why don't Luton? What are Brentford's alternate revenue streams that Burnley are not tapping into? What revenue streams do you believe we have been failing to tap into that are required f...

The Beehive seems fine. Not sure what they're like if you're wearing colours but never had any problems going there.

The Antwerp Arms is away friendly and the Redemption Taproom.

The agreement for this is between the FA and the Premier League but no agreement with all the other leagues whose clubs play in the competition.

Andy Holt said the announcement was the first he'd heard of it.

aggi

With all the European competition games and the need to fit in the international fixtures this sounds like a sensible move. Even the lower league teams rest players for the early rounds of the cup so removing the need for pointless replays gets my vote The FA agreed: The current format, which has n...

There is no doubt Garlick was less forthcoming than Kilby and it was he that brought the end of the AGM's, but then he never publicly said he would be open or that he liked to communicate that I recall. Unlike Alan Pace who had this to say about communication with the fans at that first Press Confe...

Indeed but your point was not about the owners actions but about the level of scrutiny of the owners by the Pod Squad. ITV Digital and the sale of the ground generated a lot of discussion just as ALK is now. There is no difference. And most clubs whose owners create risk face scrutiny from the fan ...

Yes, I’m sure they realise that the club being successful is the best chance of them realising a profit. But their idea of success may be very different to ours. We may place a higher value on winning the FA cup whereas they may place a higher value on selling a player purchased for £2m for £50m. I...

The accounts for Burnley Football and Athletic Club Limited are now available to view - I notice that the club is still filing these by registered post rather than electronically, even though they have done so early this year https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/000542...

Every team in the Premier league tried breaking Asia. When I went to Thailand (about 10 years ago) it was Liverpool and Man Utd stuff everywhere. Their fake shirts all over market stalls for 2 or 3 quid. Without winning a league title I'm not sure how you attract overseas fans in numbers. To turn t...

What do you honestly think motivates them to spend their days in rainy Lancashire rather than sipping cocktails on Palm Beach? I'm sure they are in it to make money and that's a significant motivation. I'd hope that they are also bright enough to realise that the best way of making money is for the...

Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to add a couple more. Whoever it is that owns Bournemouth, too. And Leicester and Forest, and for that matter Andy Holt at Accrington Stanley. The blokes at Wrexham, and Salford. It's not uncommon. I think I'd prefer Burnley to be owned by some businessmen looking to make a ...

aggi

I see Forest fans are very unhappy about their season ticket prices for next season and aslo complaining that the Fan Advisory Board were less consulted and more informed about the increases.

aggi

I didn't feel brave enough to venture into 350 posts on whether we should drop Muric where I guess it was linked.

aggi

Not really clear to me how anyone can view our current ownership with anything other than dread and upset. In the scale of football club owners I'd say that ours aren't that high up on the dread and upset scale. It's not an ideal structure (although I think many people had a very rosy view of what ...

He’s been with Beswicks a long time I think

Is that the one that Steve Cotterill was involved with somehow?

aggi

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering why Muric tried to control the ball with the sole of his foot on Saturday.

Seems it is a thing according to the Athletic. Used to try and draw the opposition out to pass through them

It is a stupid practice that they insist should happen. Twice this season when hey have emailed asking for feedback on how to improve things at the club I have mentioned this method of sales. The second time labelling it stupid due to them saying sold out and people seeing it and then not bothering...

Looks like Newcastle will seal promotion today. Need a win and they're 4-0 up at half time.

They won 10-0 in the end. They've only dropped 5 points all season so a tough ask to keep up with them.

The previous owners didn't incur £230 million worth of creditors or spend £124 million of the club's money on shares. ALK are being held accountable commensurate to their actions not because they are ALK. Man Utd suffered a breakaway club as a result of a similar purchase and huge fan antipathy. Gi...

It’s about time this was stopped. Players should pay their own agents out of their massive salaries and clubs should not be permitted to be affiliated with any of the parasites Technically they do. This is amounts paid by clubs to agents for services to clubs. There will be more that is paid to age...

Just listened to the Kieran Maguire one, obviously nothing revelatory but nice to hear a Brighton fan talk a bit more realistically about how they got to where they are now One thing which was a bit glossed over, possibly because it's just viewed as normal now, is how you need an owner to pretty muc...

These are still available.

Not sure if this is allowed, feel free to delete it not. At the start of the season I got a couple of Jimmy Mac Upper tickets (block 4) for tomorrow's match against Brighton and then promptly forgot about buying them. I now can't use them so happy to take any reasonable offers with proceeds going to...

I get your concern CP and share it too. But when you say “for operational and trading purposes” a more simplistic way of saying this is that they were using it to fund transfer spend…..let’s say it as it is. The fundamental issue is that the money we have spent on players has not worked out. If it ...

aggi

I'm sure you will understand that if BDO didn't think going concern was correct they would have qualified their audit opinion. Of course. Your post read as if it was downplaying the material uncertainty note by saying accounts were still prepared on a going concern basis whereas we both know that a...

For those who have listened to the Offensive we know how the project ends

Hi CP, my thoughts: 1) a bit much to pick out 2 January windows and one summer windows, especially when the club sold a number of players in the summer window before those 3 you mention, especially when the club has brought in players in each of Vincent Kompany's 4 windows. 2) how much money do you...

Some people have never played Football Manager and it shows. Quite common for players to sign for clubs upon having agreed a certain amount of playing time conditions.

What happens if he doesn’t play in 75% of games? A good question. The only real remedy would be financial or termination so are we really expecting the board to have signed a contract where Trafford gets a bonus for not playing or is allowed to leave for cheap/free? There's no point just having the...

aggi

Also worth noting that if you sell a player you need to pay all outstanding fees on him. So if we signed Berge for £15m over 4 years we'd have paid £7.5m by the end of the next window with £7.5m to go. But if we sold him for £20m over 4 years we might only get £5m upfront but need to pay the remaini...

I’m not generally his biggest fan but thought he had an excellent game today. I haven’t seen the red card incident again so if he got it wrong then his marks might well have been lower than I’m giving. A 20 B 22 C 22 D 22 I viewed the red card as harsh as I'm aware that Muric is generally pretty sh...

Even worse is that VAR encourages diving, because if you dive and in the process of doing so the opposition player makes the most minimal of contact, the VAR is likely to give the pen, and almost certain to if the on field ref already has.

Yep, you get a double chance of being rewarded.

Foster looks poor to me, more like the Foster from last season.

Probably because he's not a winger.

Don't know what this Foster wide, Odobert central is. Really doesn't work.

Sending off looked a bit unlucky, I think Muric may have got there. Stupid though.

That's weird. That's a direct link to the MP3 and should give you a 30MB, 33 minutes MP3.

What do you get if you open it in an incognito window or download it?

aggi

Best case you get a penalty and the opposition get a player sent off. Worst case the ref waves play on.

There's no downside to diving and a considerable upside so it's no surprise that teams do it.

Hi Paul As you know different ways to skin a cat !! Last page of the accounts references the management fee paid by the Group of £2.5m to an “affiliated entity”. It was £1.5m in 2022.

He is American. New York/New Jersey area. Noticeable that JJ Watt is not listed as a director. He is routinely described as 'co-owner' or 'minority owner' or 'minority investor'.

I don't find their statement particularly useful, that's kind of the point.

Surely the no foul was part of the build up to Wolves goal and as such should be part of the checking procedure ? It starts again with the free kick being taken, they don't go back any further. Just the same as a goal being scored from an incorrectly awarded corner, they won't overturn the corner a...
