Ha ha! Will do!

The clubs will likely get them tonight. If I'm lucky, I'll get a copy but they'll be embargoed until 9am tomorrow morning. It'll just allow me to add dates into my emails to all the hotels we approach for our clubs stays next season, so I can push the button at 9am.

Is it just me or does there seem to be like, 498 players with the surname Traore?!

We're just spending likely somewhere between £500k and £1m on a new pitch - which I get is pretty important. We've made a few million from the play offs, we've got some decent wages off the books, we're expecting a decent wedge from the sale of Vic. I'm sorry, I don't believe that the club only...

Mike Dodds who played a big part in Judes development, has been at Sunderland a few years now. I've dealt with them for two seasons now and he's been one of my main contacts, nice bloke. I'm sure him being there helped the decision for the younger Bellingham

It won't be anywhere near £5.1m. B&HA get 15% of any profit. We paid about £1.5m? So they'd get 15% of £15.5m (if he goes for £17m), which would equate to £2.325m.

There's a famous golf caddie called 'Bones' so I'll let this one slide. His name is Jim Mackay but his nickname is Bones.

In less exotic news, I took the family down to Devon last week for a week away, staying just outside Exeter. Had a lodge with hot tub so the wife and I could go in once the kids were in bed. Lovely part of the world although disappointed by the beaches. Went to Exmouth beach which was only ok...

Ah, his 'mate'. Gotcha... :cool:

Didn't you shit your pants at one of our Wembley finals?! Or am I making that up?!

It's not really embarrassing to be fair. It's poor, but it's not embarrassing. What people need to remember is that the club has been run on a shoestring for years (rightly or wrongly). Not enough staff to spend time thinking up a list of what could sell, not enough resource to likely buy the...

The Chinese had the resources as well. Maybe not the oil, but they're not exactly cash poor. That league isn't exactly attracting the worlds best players.

He might have jarred it or something as I saw him on the Friday before the final and he was walking just fine. I was actually shocked by how well he was walking. Not that I've got any experience of such injuries but just by looking at him walk, you wouldn't have said he had a serious knee injury...

I think that's a smokescreen. The most recent TV deal for the PGA was something like £1bn. Its estimated that Covid took up about £200m of cash reserves. There's a lot more to this deal than meets the eye. Antitrust is going to be a big hurdle on this one.

It's a carbon copy of the golf world. The Saudi sportswashing move continues at pace. There were some golfers, unfortunately mainly the Europeans, like Poulter, Westwood and another hero of mine, Graeme McDowell who once they moved, said they were trying to grow the game, the Saudis were making...

I don't think golf has progressed at all with LIV. Before yesterday, the game has been fractured since it came along. It took some of the best players (really only 3 or 4...the rest were in the twilight of their career or relatively lower ranked players) and meant that standard PGA Tour event...

Conversely, those who might not have got a ticket a couple of weeks ago, might have seen how great (ish) the last 10 days have been. It works both ways.

Yeah, I get that - running my own business and all that. But if someone wanted a season ticket two weeks ago, they're likely to want a season ticket in two weeks time. If they don't, they don't. There'll be people who may not have wanted one a couple of weeks ago for whatever reason but will...

I agree with that to be fair. But regardless of when they're released, if you want to get one, you get one. It does help with budgeting though, you're correct.

Yeah but if you want to go, you want to go. It shouldn't matter when they're released (although I do concede that if 90 other clubs have done so, then it does seem strange). Whilst the city might not be buzzing (sh!t term), those who said they'd want to get a ticket should still want to get a...
