Every year their owner takes out a loan of around £20m from MSD Holdings which has an interest rate attached of around 10%-ish. Financially they're a bit of a mess to be honest. They lost nearly £34m in the latest set of accounts.

It doesn't matter what sport it is. You become a better player by playing with and against better players under better coaches. As mentioned, the quality NL had has dropped off. It's not like a few years ago when half the league at that time could've quite comfortably competed at the top end...

It wasn't just the standard of football though per say, although that certainly didn't help. The bleakness at the Ricoh was a symptom of years of off-the-field issues from 2011 through to the early Championship years. You didn't get that at Highfield Road. The level of toxicity within the...

It's been shite because the club has gone through possibly it's worst period ever during that period. Context is everything.

Were you dropped on your head as a child? You replied to my post first? How do I follow you around like a bad smell when I don't even know who you are. Aston Villa did it to Louie Barry last season. Stoke recalled Nathan Lowe from Walsall to feature in their first team. Albeit they were...

Seems he had to take a pay cut to join them and paid his own compensation clause. Likely wasn't anywhere near their first choice either. Big job on his hands. What a mess.

Didn't you just comment on my post? As a player you get better by playing with better players and under better coaches, not by remaining at a club you've outgrown. If his performances justify it, is deemed ready and there's an option on the table to play at a better club in a higher league...

This is a pretty uninformed argument to be honest when many clubs do what I've suggested with their young players. If the performances justify it, I personally I don't believe in letting a player stagnate across a full season in a league where he's vastly superior to everyone else around him.

Not opposed to sending him to FGR. I don't think the club has got it quite right in recent years when loaning out young players, but this seems like a sensible move for his first loan. If he does ridiculously well the club can always recall and send him to a L2 club in Jan to fast track his...

They weren't against Leeds last season which was wasn't far from a sellout if memory serves.

It isn't really outside of Celtic and Rangers.

Yes we've been relocated there on occasion when the boxes are pre-booked by the hotel.

If that was the case they'd just block additional seats out as unavailable wouldn't they....?

Look at the dot count genius.

He needs to cut out the injuries - albeit he had a car crash last season as well which couldn't be helped - and offer more consistency when on the pitch. This is an important year for him though. He needs to have a successful season at wherever he ends up if he's to have a future here.

Mahou Lounge only two tickets sold and I believe they've been taken off sale which indicates the club have either scrapped it completely or will revisit the pricing in the coming days/weeks. Balcony Bar tickets are still available for purchase but I'd say only around half have sold give or take...

There's a total of 46 boxes available and I'd say around half of that are filled on a permanent basis, maybe a little more. That's a bit more than 'some' being left available on a match-by-match basis. Also the take up for that won't be significant. I would guesstimate a handful extra at most...

He has a boardroom for that.

What owner wouldn't place 100% occupancy, or as near to, as a priority on one of their most exclusive packages? You fill all of them (excluding those which are for the likes of Monzo and CBS etc) you're probably within the region of £1m in revenue added to the club's bottom line.

Did you take that on a Motorola V3?
