Westy skippers the side.

Surely that isn’t fair either! Teams that feature more times on live tv get a bigger slice of the cake, imagine after this season when Leeds United have had 38 live games and finished 17th. They could end up with more TV money than somebody that finishes 10th and haven’t had as many live games. Lif...

It shouldn’t be a simple sum off £300m divided by 20, surely the bigger clubs who have taken a larger portion of the TV money, should pay a larger portion of the so called fine. They can’t have it both ways

That's the way it has been divided up, based on league finish.

claretandy

Yes there will be losses, but not £50M, football finished and has restarted, plus we finished tenth, maybe a small loss? (which isn't a bad thing, can be offset against future profit)

claretandy

I agree with Guy.....

Quite a few of the directors hols some of their shares in a tax efficient way.

I see that the Premier League have told the referees to use more discretion, Lindleoff and Ward now won't be penalties, but Maupay and Dier will be (arm above shoulder height). Common sense at last.

Is that Cork I could see bobbing about in the background ?

Nope, he and Jay are the only one's not in training.

claretandy

It seems Leicester never wanted him, put a bid in (knowing it would be rejected) in order to push through a deal for their number 1 target, Fofana.

claretandy

Ben, back on the grass.

A bit more detail behind that statement:- 2019....£115.0m 2018....£121.5m 2017....£105.0m 2016....£29.6m 2015....£66.6m 2014....£11.9m 2013....£8.2m 2012....£15.6m 2011....£16.1m 2010....£59.6m. Think that's about it for us in the PL, plus of course the est.£124m for last season. Always some uncert...

The potential was there, yes we helped tarky realise that, we bought tarky based on the potential & all brentford astutely did at the time was insert a sell on percentage later down the line, it's standard protocol brokering such agreements for promising young players to ensure fair renumeration. 2...

So it seems we really don't have much to play about with and invest into new players, and the board aren't being tight?

That's just one years figures in isolation, doesn't show previous years profits and the 40m cash in the bank we had.

claretandy

Steve Cook, good grief.

A 5ft nothing, spanish play-maker, the most un-Dyche like signing.

claretandy

Dyche should have told the truth and hung him out to dry, I would have had more respect for him.

Have to admit, I’m surprised he wasn’t prepped when Jay Rod got his knock. No attacking subs?

I'M surprised he wasn't pulled from the u23's yesterday.

claretandy

I don't think he will play until the window closes, we will turn down all offers below £40M, he will still be here when the window shuts.

What do Brentford get, just under £10 million of that?

27.5% of the profit.

claretandy

John Percy says Leicester expected to come back in with a fresh offer.

That won’t make a difference, both players in any such deal will have a value.

Of course it will, we did the same with Brownhill and Wells, in the opposite way though.

claretandy

With the ridiculously high sell on percentage (27.5%), we really need to make it a cash plus player deal, like wells and Brownhill.

25%+ sell on if/when he does go. At least.

At age 28 (next month), not much chance of him going for more than what we hold out for.

Isn't that what every club does?

Brighton didn't/haven't.

We didn't with Tarks, all the leaks have come from Wet Spam.

claretandy

I think we've made an inquiry and Liverpool have leaked it to flush out other bidders.

In terms of imminent is it likely to be done in time for the Southampton game?

Reports of a medical in London today, so yes.

claretandy

They want £20M, who saw us smashing our transfer record ?

Whose finally found the key to the dry powder store ? I thought we were skint ? or is the takeover going ahead ?

Nothing wrong with that as JBG is left footed and clearly favours playing on the right hand side.

We would have 4, left-footed wingers.

claretandy

Loan with an option to buy i'm hearing.

claretandy

Another left footed winger !!!

what if we did and we didnt think he was good enough?

He looked pretty decent in the 2 games against us, only 23, plenty of time to improve/resale value.

Forest agree fee with Aberdeen for McKenna, 3m plus 2m add ons, we should have been looking at that price.

The Allgemeine Zeitung writes that Robin Quaison was about to be sold in recent days. "It was close," confirms Mainz sports director Rouven Schröder. According to the newspaper, it was Burnley who tried to buy the Swedish national team striker. Quaison is said to have a buyout clause of 15 million ...

Another vote for playing the kids, i wouldn't even risk Tarks.

Keep Tarky, sign Stephens, sign a right winger, this is the absolute minimum requirement.

I doubt that is high on our list of criteria for signings.

We could do with resting a few on Wednesday, it would have been ideal to give him a game.

Sorry disagree. If he is 4th choice behind Cork, Westy and Josh, £30k a week for a 2 year deal with a relegation clause is fine. Provided we sign a proper right winger that can get us excited a bit etc.

Brighton fans say he's on 40-50k a week, he isn't going to take a cut.

He's done that before though. Denied anything is close and two days later a player has signed. I get what you're saying but I wouldn't read too much into that.

If it was one under the radar, that you didn't want anyone getting a sniff of i could understand.

claretandy

In fairness he's said that before and we have signed a player a day or two later. Think he's used to keeping tight lipped until the ink is dry and BFC have dragged it out for a day with photo shoots and video shoots (remember the Crouch video? Ouch!) when everyone has known for about twelve hours. ...

claretandy

SD has said that there is nothing close, would seem at odds with this.
