It certainly was, they were very open about that. It was very costly to clean up at the time.

There's a triangle of land isnt't there? 2 sides are the railway and main road, judds lane the 3rd side.

But not with his foot on the ball apparently ;) Interestingly (?) I noticed the Arsenal keeper has the same habit too. It's maybe something coming from the 8 second rule?

Wasn't that 25 odd years ago too though? Another owned by the Council, I think...

I've no idea how off-shore money is moved around.

Of course. I said up thread that the value of the club probably doubled overnight. I'm not sure what you're getting at. I do know how bean counters work though and if the "football club" stops paying "rent" to the "Arena" the Arena's paper losses suddenly increase. I was saying that it'll be...

I don't understand what you mean.

Rudi should do Gyokeres's barber celebration with his daft haircut!

King did say everything was 100% owned by the club. I wasn't assuming a loan/mortgage from that statement. With the way that the club structures its assets perhaps the football side will pay into the estate side of things. It's probably too early to say.

The bigger worry about the goal yesterday than him being in the wrong position was the setup for the freekick. It looked all wrong and that is the keeper's responsibility. Obviously Brighton see a player there and hopefully he will improve, but there will be mistakes along the way, especially...

I guess he'll be offered an extension at some point but maybe it is time for him to move on for his own career. He'll certainly cost good money to replace.

I remember somebody commenting preseason on just how loud Wilson was. Monaco.

Maybe you're right, maybe a bit of both. He hinted that he paid more than he would have liked to anyway.

It wouldn't be doable outside the prem I don't think. Even in America the Cities generally fund the local stadiums but that's illegal over here.

Don't forget that Tesco paid a lot too.

North of the £40m ball park I was thinking yesterday. Maybe the accounts will tell us next year but he was strangely coy about it.

The key will be avoiding major injuries as far as possible. Haji might easily have had a fractured cheek yesterday from that disgraceful elbowing, for example, but if we have enough depth to allow players not to be playing fatigued too often then we're in with a shout. The aim now must be stay...

Grimes got 3 1/2 years so I think off the top of my head that only the new signings take King beyond his 5 year plan. KKH got 4 years. My thinking is that is when he decided that he was in it for longer but who knows really. We do have an issue brewing with a cliff edge of contracts ending at...

Absolutely agree. You could see it in the players' contracts. Until recently we had nobody with a contract beyond the five years, that's beginning to change now and King has probably decided to make a longer game of it.

Maybe it all makes more financial sense in a PL setup. I sense from what King said that they feel this is the season or we're likely gong to be losing a few of these players. Haji will be worth a king's ransom if he has a good World Cup, Rudi will probably want to move on, maybe Milan, Torp and...
