I am far from sure that this premise is true - Betting sponsors can go on the sleeve and it is quite likely that the income from sleeve sponsorship is going to grow significantly, as will training kit sponsorship and perimeter advertising rates I suspect - there may still be a deficit (which will be...

It can be all well and good for people (yes I include myself) to criticise how are clubs are run - but could we run the boardroom of a Premier League club? - I know I could not/ should not

It is kind of nice to know that some American owners really do know how to boost commercial income. If we look at our own club, the best Velocity have achieved is just over £14m which scrapes in as the 3rd best in the clubs history (thanks to Covid repayments in 2019/2020 or it would have been 4th, ...

No matter how you look at it, it has no impact on Burnley whatsoever, but the timing of this could not be worse for PNE. It's dragged on to the point where the transfer window will be closed, so selling him will be difficult whilst this hangs over him, and if he does get a lengthy ban the window is...

Looks like these have finally sold. I wonder who to.

I saw the bid of £400 per share last week - they were put up late this time, with the bid quickly following - it appeared to be a co-ordinated approach.

There is a lot to like about Grimsby Town co-owner Jason Stockwood, though I do not always agree with him.

,,,,,,,, The bigger questions are how on earth has the FA allowed such opaque ownership to develop and what can they do to protect fans interests.

This is essentially a legal argument, most pertinently it neglects to mention that the MLS had opposed league matches from other countries being played on US soil - that is why Relevent went to court (with several cases) in the US so they could promote such games.

I'm not entirely sure whether your comment is tongue in cheek, Claret86, but it really wouldn't surprise me, and, of course, that would, in some way, be a bit like looping the loop.
