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 ...

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 ...

Is Roberts injured at Leeds?

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. Wrexham probably receive some share (whether flat fee or percentage) as there is a fair bit of filming at the ground/with t...

I have to say your first point seems somewhat self contradictory : "apart from when you sell players for a profit, it doesn't affect profit" on your second point I think you'll have to prorate things no matter where you draw the cutoff point anyway so kind of a moot point. The rest is fair enough. ...

I think having the cutoff point at the end of the summer transfer window is what makes the most sense, thats the period where the bulk of clubs financial activity occurs so why not have the two aligned? Whats the advantage of having a somewhat arbitrary cutoff point in the middle of the window? Als...

yes so if they had sold Johsnson in June for 35 million they would have had losses of around 60 mil for the 3 year period (1 mil below the max allowed).

The goal would have been ruled out and a penalty given is what I’m told as daft as that seems I wonder why that would be.

Wonder why it wasn't six. Feels very much like they are making it up as they go along.

But they did judge it and that's why we had the long wait. They were still checking for a potential foul by Muric when the goal was scored and that check had to be completed before the goal could be given. But they weren't going to disallow the goal to give the foul so we don't know what the outcom...

aggi

Had it not been for them scoring, I did wonder if VAR would have looked at the Muric challenge on Toney. He seemed to go through the back of him to claw the ball away a few moments earlier. I think Muric got a bit lucky there. Could easily see that being a penalty but not judged as they socred with...

A back pass has to be played by the foot. The keeper can pick it up if it comes off the shin, knee or thigh. In this case it came off the Bees player’s knee.

Ah, that will be it then. Thought it came off his foot.

The USD needs to stop pumping though as crypto tends to drop with a strong Dollar.

Those who are expecting/hoping for crypto to soar to huge values probably need to consider that this will likely be matched to a slump in the dollar and what that will mean for the global economy.

Crowdfunding a legal defence by promising all proceeds to charity is an unusual move. Especially when you've clearly and openly done what you're accused of.

Particularly when he's the defendant. I can't see many damages coming from that.

Never really rated O'Shea. Reinforces the notion of an accident waiting to happen.

The amount of fans who don't think Esteve is an improvement on Ekdal or O'Shea shows how little fans understand about football compared to those in the industry.

So we've had a few games with them now.

Ah, thank you sir. So the area circled in blue is the front of the upper tier closest to the goal? Is the plan mirrored?

It seems consistent that the ticket office mirror the plan side to side but not front to back when they are selling (not just for this one).
