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

More realistically, we are one of the best placed teams to become a yo-yo club.

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. Fairly well known isn't it that Bellingham turned down Man United and chose Dortmund because they promised him consistent first tea...

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.

aggi

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.

thanks, but still getting the 25 seconds only even after ctrl f5

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.

aggi

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. We have cash flow issues, have had cash flow issues, and will continue to have cash flow issues like possibly 90% of the rest of the pyramid does.

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.

aggi

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.

aggi

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. Interesting to see that the club has started to pay back a bit, £35m, of the £400m or so that is owed to the...

aggi

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.

aggi

My main concern even if we go down is the money that we may be committed to pay yet on Tresor and that we will be for Ramsey, Trafford and Amdouni. I hope that there a big proportion of their fees yet to be paid are performance based. As an illustration on how much can be performance based: In thes...

Need to have a longer look at the accounts but from what I have seen they are worse than I was expecting. The wages were higher than I was expecting but I’m guessing they will have included promotion bonuses given we went up 2 or 3 months before the year end. They may also include some payments to ...

aggi

I'm not financial expert but it reads how you would expect, no major surprises, no major worries. good job Alan I'd say the confirmation of the increase in the loan is the major thing. Previous loans had been used to fund the purchase of the club. Not ideal but not something that reflects on day-to...

aggi

Obvious thing is the jump in loans from ~ £45m to £70m. I imagine that was mainly to fund the player trading (although the amounts we owe on transfers has already likely gone up). Wages down from £92m to £53.5m. Surprised they didn't cut that more given relegation clauses and a lot of experienced pl...

There's definitely a bias when it comes to yellow cards. And I say this, we'll aware that I, too, am biased. But I often look at the end of games, where we will have 2 or 3 more yellows than the opposition, thinking we've been kicked all over the park, and have been the victim of countless cynical ...

I've been involved in TV residuals over the years and it's a real minefield. Payments generally come out of profits and a lot of effort is made to keep those paper profits low.
