    Gyökeres Bids

    I would expect Brighton have a sell on clause in the sale of Gyokeres. That seems to be normal practice with fees. As for who might bid. I would think Fulham would be one, as their manager was complimentary of him from when we played them and they need to recruit another forward. However, would...

    Championship 22-23

    Good points raised. Whilst Burnley were careful in their transfer fees, they are reported to have an £85M wage bill which whilst modest for the PL looks pretty big by championship standards.

    Soupy Sam and the Toffee Lady

    I was lucky enough to catch a toffee before an Everton game. We also had prematch entertainment with the police dog handlers demonstrations . I remember buying a pie from walking around the pitch

    There is a bit of leeway for the club, in that in terms of cash flow. If the final amount the agent insists on is the same as being fully paid for a year, then it's probably better for the club to spread the cost over the rest of his contract term and to make life as difficult, as possible...

    Championship 22-23

    Firstly, I'm not sure Burnley's owners are like the Coates family at Stoke, who finance the club by putting money in [at 0% interest] and reverting it to shares, so as to stay within FFP. The terms of the contract with libor + 8% paints a very different picture. Secondly, those terms in the...

    Championship 22-23

    Looking ahead to the teams in the Championship next season. We can once again expect the teams with parachute payments to be challenging to return to the PL. There may be one exception .....Burnley. Under the terms of the buy out of the club, who's owners used a leverage process [similar to...

    Retained list

    I'm guessing that the players he's not meeting face to face are retained ones and his feedback can be undertaken via video call.

    Pace out wide

    He's had another good season and was their top goal scorer. I heard Millwall were in for him.

    Waghorn

    The RWB position does need an overhaul, as much as I like Dabo. The number of games he’s missed in the last two seasons is an issue. Additionally, the LWB position is a concern. Bidwell will hopefully get up to speed in how we play.

    No Hamer .... either MR doesn’t want him to pick up another yellow card, so misses the first 3 games next season ......or he’s being sold

    Joy Seppala at the U16s final

    Are there reports in the audited accounts that SISU have been realising elements of the loans to the club at the very high rate of interest? My understanding is the issue in the medium to long term would be if SISU wanted to realise the loans....that would require the club to sell any asset...

    Joy Seppala at the U16s final

    Are you saying that in terms of daily trading the loss [without interest, which is not being realised...yet, amortisation and depreciation] was circa £300k??

    Rule changes you’d like to see next season

    Enforce the time wasting law, especially for goalkeepers. First time yellow card... second time red. They’ll only have to do it in one game and that would stop it. it’s about time a gk got sent off for time wasting
