Monzo are still a very chaotic startup type organisation, so I wouldn't be so quick to assume if a deal was ever in play that it was the football club that fucked it up. To my knowledge, Monzo haven't done any sports sponsorship before so I'm sure they had no idea what they were doing. If...

Well, depends on whether you include corporates, but that 21,830 of 26,035 comes from excluding all the dark blue blocks on the map as well as the grey (unavailable) and the mustard coloured (visiting supporters) blocks. If you include those dark blue blocks then it is 25,107 of 29,565 - 85%...

No, those blocks are not included in the total I gave.

It's possible some of those seats in blocks that are supposedly available for sale but are reserved in the system for other reasons, so the number could be inflated. That smaller total (~22 of 26k) does not include balcony street bar, club coventry, vice president's lounge and legends lounge...

I'm a nerd, not a dot counter. 🤓

OK, here's how it looks by "zone": North 3,468 of 5,271 - 66% season tickets sold or unavailable East 8,376 of 9,487 - 88% season tickets sold or unavailable South 1,438 of 2,496 - 58% season tickets sold or unavailable West 2,152 of 2,220 - 97% season tickets sold or unavailable Family 3,173...

For the dot counters and nerds, the map is showing 4,458 available seats. Confusingly, total seats count from the same data source is 33,784... so I have no clue what any of that means. You're welcome.

Can we rename hamertime to bedwettime? Cripes.

You seem to ignore that every 10 million we make on a player sale itself multiplies into another 2+ players who will reach or exceed that valuation in 2 years. So there isn't really a rush (aside from Doug's supposed 5 year timeline) and we will reach a tipping point where our squad is extremely...

Who says "we need to have a real go at the top 2 next season"? Reality is, owner isn't some super rich dude using the club as a playtoy, so we have to do good business. When you have great management and recruitment (I think we can say it's the best it's ever been... in decades at least?) then...

I'd be amazed if Utd actually went for this, but relative to a lot their targets he'd probably be "cheap" and I think we all know he could probably move his game on a level in the right environment. Utd being an absolute basket case for a decade or more now makes it a risky move though. If we...

I think this is a really crucial appointment. I would be a little bit concerned if it ends up being someone similar Adi or someone else in Robins' network. To take a step forward, I think Robins could do with a very progressive modern coach and it would balance things out nicely and help us step...

You're falling to that classic forum trap of talking in absolutes. We signed Torp in the last window who wasn't far off this - and he hasn't hit his full potential yet. Vik, Hamer, Sheaf were also not instantly ready at those prices, either. Reality is if we're aiming to level up the squad and...

I may be hallucinating, but I recall a snippet on a mailing list about Dowie's penchant for producing custom powerpoints for every team he pitched himself to. And each one had like a punny title based on the club's name / crest etc. Gosh I wish I could find where I got that from...

Once again, I remind everyone and myself that Football is an outlet for undiagnosed anxiety disorders. The post-season void just gives people less news to focus on so there's less molehills to make mountains out of.

This was after Torp, but before the EMC deal was completed. Your rough count is the same as mine - indicating we’ve spent all of the Gyok and Hamer money - but of course those are public figures and are likely inflated - we happen to know the exact Gyok fee because the Portuguese teams have to...

"Cost or Valuation" implies it may not be what was paid, but just be the "fair market value" of the shares. So no, doesn't mean Doug paid 33.7M.

As people have mentioned here, if we really were in the bidding at ~8-9M for Rollheiser that would indicate that we still have cash to spend without waiting for 3rd party sales (Hamer/Vik) sales or selling Sheaf. If you assume EMC cost half that fee, that leaves around 4M left. I would suspect...

You have to be a really exceptional team I think to have the luxury of a player like Godden who on the whole doesn't contribute a lot without the ball or in the build up play. That should all be caveated with "at this level". I just wonder if the game has passed this type of striker by... he...

How does their 23-24 spend compare to ours? The point is I think there are other managers performing very well on a budget around our level. Robins has done a job I can’t imagine anyone else could but we may start to see the ceiling of his approach in the next year or so. That’s when things...
