Stadt

He couldn’t look somebody asking the most softball questions in the eye after the Hull game. People getting chucked out for minor discontent suggests otherwise too.

Then the cost of stewarding, hospitality staff, caterers and other sundry cost of sales stuff. It will be a net loss of a few hundred thousand - already looking forward to next years' exceptional items in the accounts .

They will absolutely make a loss on this vanity event in a period where we need to watch every penny. Well done Top, Kevin, Anthony, whoever, bravo - f uck off.

Had a day out in Birmingham yesterday for my brother’s birthday. It’s a great city for boozers when you know where you’re going, not unlike London - otherwise it can be a disparate and disjointed outing. Did the Woodman, the Bull, Queens Head, Wellington and Waterside Tap, some shit generic bar before having a curry at the Hen & Chickens. The Woodman is fantastic looking, nice selection as well.

Leicestershire isn’t a massive tourist hotspot (although numbers are growing) there would big operating costs for a five star hotel - way greater than Seagrave already costs plus the capital to convert it. What do you do with 15 pitches? The Tigers wouldn’t want to leave Welford Rd (a guess) or go through that upheaval especially after redeveloping recently for an higesde of what - 6k in capacity?

The occupancy rate for a 5 star hotel wouldn’t be great and teams playing away at Villa would stay in Birmingham rather than being an hour away. The stadium is worth that only if you have a tenant (i.e LCFC) so to maintain the asset you’d need to spend £40m p/a to keep the club alive to protect a £30m asset

Some on here fine with the signing because he was “experienced”, “won lots of fouls” and “Palace fans liked him”. I don’t think it’s a total coincidence Palace have had their two best ever seasons as soon as they were rid of him. Horrible to watch, selfish, slow, terrible out of possession and some of the worst decision making I’ve ever seen. Good riddance. P.s oh and he had the temerity to take the no. 9 shirt after our greatest ever player just left.

The training ground and stadium aren’t great collateral though because besides the land they’re awkward assets without tennants. If we don’t go up, there’s very few players left to sell for a fee any minority shareholder are then deep into a club with a huge insolvency risk - unless they put lots of cash in. The savvy thing (at least in my view, unsurprisingly I’ve never purchased a multi million pound asset) would be to wait for admin if you were a buyer

The only hope I’m holding out is they’re liquidating their assets in boats/planes etc. Chansiri’s negligence/belligerence will alerted the Thai Regime to financial catastrophe of admin and receiving pennies on the pound. The less thick/obtuse family and advisors will see what’s coming - like ex airport authority chief exec. Getting out now for some notional £30m sale whilst retaining the ground/Seagrave stage manages a less embarrassing exit, it’s a greater Loss of Face™️to be forced out through admin.

We sign the likes of Popov, delay finding good loans for them, famny around, finally see them perform on loan and then release him. There is no commercial acumen at all. The only academy flip we’ve ever done is Sowah - which worked out really well. Instead we lose out more often than not like with Maswanhise, Iversen, Kipre etc. We simply never sell these players for £500k here, £1m there. Dread to think what we spend on wages/fees acquiring Armani Richards/Rakihy/Popov long term only to neither use them at first team level or sell. We have a leaky bucket and just keep filling it. Seagrave could sustain itself if we were just smarter, even discounting big academy sales.

Adrian Bloor is very capable

Anybody sane wouldn’t take up a minority ownership position up with a liability like Top involved. Taking on a hell of a lot of risk for what reward?

Got Dearden flashbacks with the pace some scored at

If his stupid brother just shut his mouth when Maguire left us he wouldn’t be disliked so much

Arsenal have been undeniably smart but their min/maxing whilst spending inordinately only to grind a title out as if they’re a minnow rankles a little bit. Its like winning the lottery and upgrading your dishwasher and having your bathroom re-grouted as a point of priory. We couldn’t have won our title any other way, this Arsenal team are almost deliberately obtuse, as if they win 1-0 on purpose. The Burnley game the other night said it all. It doesn’t feel all that sustainable to me either.

It’s hard to say but we had the better players than both. With the talent we had, we ought to have finished third at least once. A completely average DoF would have had us at 8th as the floor.

We were joint favs with Napoli to win the Europa. If we were a serious club that would have been about the 5th time over Rodgers should have been sacked. You can make the case the EL was easier to win too. Frankfurt and Rangers made the final as opposed to Roma and Slot’s Feyenoord.

Our fans were mostly happy to just enjoy the ride when we lost to Roma. I was apoplectic because I knew it would be our one chance.

He’s probably the only one I do like but yeah he’s so monotone - some variation in his diction would go a long way

Most viral tiktok/insta food content is grating. The breathy 'what I ate in a day in _____' is particularly irksome to me.

If spying is such a big deal you’d think they might put some fences up to prevent…. a ‘spy’ walking up to training and filming it. Smacks off the EFL trying to bring clubs to heal after the mess of deductions being rushed out this season.
