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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

That could have been it. I think half of our team were with them at one point.

He’s been with Beswicks a long time I think

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

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...

Not sure if this is allowed, feel free to delete it not.

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 ...

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.

I am not keen on ALK/Pace in general but even I'm willing to concede that this statement is a bit of a nothing passage.

The long and short: The auditors have confirmed that there is a risk we would not be a going concern as per note 2.4 in our accounts (as posted by aggi above) Essentially the board has stated the main risk to us is relegation from the PL (and the reduced revenue as a result) but if that happened it...

VAR was checking for offside. It wasn't particularly close though.

The freekick can't get checked.

This is the wording from the accounts. There's a risk, it's probably not that big a risk: These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have reasonable expectation that the group will continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are awar...

Brighton just announced a British record 123m profit for a football club Second highest after Spurs in 2018. Mainly driven by Chelsea it looks like! Not only the players but £23m for Potter.

My point is that ALK paid a lot more than that when they bought the club and they offered over 5 times that amount not so long ago. That looks more like the price the shares were traded at when we were in the third tier. Yes, because buying shares to gain control is a lot different to buying a hand...

I got a mail about this last week. 122478 shares at 300 quid each is less than 37m, has the value of the club slumped that much? Are they trying to pick up shares on the cheap?

The bigger picture is we are up **** creek if we don't go back up within 2 or 3 years.

That is true of any Championship club without owners who will subsidise them by tens of millions.
