If anyone has Premier Sports as part of their Virgin package, it's free for August. This means La Liga games, starting of which tonight. In bad news, the issues surrounding TV deals in France, means no coverage in the UK over Ligue Un and Serie A are only showing two games a weekend on TNT (with an eye to showing the rest on the internet).

Tommy Sou from the Hammers

Nick de Marco is appointed to our case

That’s very un Brighton like

Quite a few clubs in the top two divisions have moved into new training facilities or heavily refurbished their existing sites within the last five years. Bournemouth notably currently building their own new training ground. The big boys have done things such as Eithad Campus and Spurs Lodge

Your definition of world class doesn’t match most people’s. He’s never scored against a top defence in his entire career.

I’d say fundamentally the way we’ve tried to frustrate the case will be taken as aggression towards it.

Both (the commission reports) are quite interesting reads https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2024/04/08/eef5f482-4d3a-473a-9e38-26f995059377/Premier-League-v-Everton-Decision-FY23.pdf Everton https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2024/03/18/6614f2f9-6138-4d13-81c9-671130427c1c/Final-Award-The-Premier-League-and-Nottingham-Forest-745330876.1-.pdf Nottingham Forest The thought of Rudkin giving evidence about transfer dealings (in particular Sensi) is making me laugh now

That wasn’t the case for both Forest and Everton. In the reports by the independent committees, both admitted error and co-operated with the charge/enquiry that was directly cited in both cases why there was a reduction from the initial suggest points deduction

Correct the club who own the player do have a say on the price - equally I’d expect the buying club to have what they consider fair value. Someone has to be that barometer of what value is. If we go back to that original point, the communication between manager and DoF with the budget is important because that might affect how you view that ‘value’. The technical director is the same role as director of football (it’s just a semantics thing) as shown here https://www.premierleague.com/news/3991780 . In fact our man Jon is listed there as the man with that role at LCFC That article goes into great detail the expectation of what Rudkin should be doing. I don’t doubt it’s a hard job but if those tasks aren’t been done by himself, then the club isn’t being run into a manner expected of modern football

Because it’s the fourth time in 16 years it’s happened. What’s actually worst is the banning/dissolvement of the opposition party in Thailand. They won the election but couldn’t form a government because they are anti-royal. That’s 16 million people votes just been wiped in effect.

Ahh can’t win ‘em them all

Prime minister been removed from office in court This is someone whom the club have hosted repeatedly over the last two years including a ‘chance’ meeting with another politician which led to a coalition being set up

Yeah I don’t think you are getting my point. I wouldn’t say expect a DoF to control finances or set them but I’d expect him to be aware of the budget which then they communicate to the manager and the scouting team. The scouts need to be aware of budget (or most certainly Glover does). What’s the point of a scouting team if they keep giving unrealistic names? According to some on here; the scouts are the ones what tell Rudkin who much to bid Equally I’d expect a CEO to be quite well involved at a club staff BBQ.

I don’t want to keep saying it but most clubs have someone at the top of it whom is competent enough to be able to contact people who can support them in such matters.

Was mentioned in passing on Talksport yesterday by Mike Keegan. Said we considered a deal but nothing got done

Pre season friendly. They won their single league game away at a decent QPR, 3-1.

That’s largely my issue with him. He’s used by agents and clubs to push moves through. That’s always happened but no one has probably been more active than Fab

He was playing Wrexham and their fourth choice striker, Sam Dalby. It’s a fair comparison to make

Remind us what happened in the most important game he’s had this season?

Just seen @GingerrrFox explanation re: a British national coming back to work in the Uk after a period of time.

Given that we loaned a player from Galatasaray last season, you wonder if we wouldn’t have encounted this problem then

Tommy and Babylon, a better tag team than the Legion of Doom 😂😂

Goalie clearly on the take
