Wrexham have seemed well run since the takeover. It's the media fawning that makes them unlikeable. I think they would be happy just staying up in truth. Birmingham however are the ultimate American narcicistic club and their fans have become generally loathsome too.

Become????
They've always been loathsome scabby bastards

Won't make a lot of difference to their attendances. They still have 30,000 seats with the stand closed and many of their supporters won't be going.

Can't wait to see them live on TV. The stand is right opposite the TV cameras 😂

And to rub it in even more it's the stand with Chansiri's name on the seats 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thinking about Birmingham and Wrexham, I read that Liverpool received £180 million for winning the Prem and a further £700 million? for commercial activities. This was explaining why despite having an enormous spend on new recruits, they are not breaking the profitability rules. The Sky TV money is set at £25 million so a lot must be coming from elsewhere. Said their shirt deal is about to come in at £60 million. The article was in the Times so maybe a misprint. If not, how on earth can they earn that much in a season?
This begs the question how much do we make considering we do not own the ground and have very little profile around the world.
Anyone out there can explain this and how much we generate compared with the evil two above.

Just been glancing at Hull's forum. Won all 6 pre-season games, beating Sunderland 2-1 on Tuesday. Giles has been playing well, and their manager seems to have got them playing nice attacking football. Might be a trickier opening game than some are expecting (I'll be in France trawling the interweb for updates!). Back for Derby, though!

Which part you going? I can't get to the UK for a few weeks but will be watching the game. You can get a monthly video pass for just €30 directly from our clubs website. Don't think they do single games but you would get to see the first 2.

Because we're taking our dog (and were wary of what the temperature might have been) we're only just the other side of the channel - (Boulogne sur mer. Only about half an hour from Calais. Will be back on the Tuesday of the Luton game, so will catch that (by whatever means). The Hull game will just be phone, as I'm not brave enough 😬 to plan a chunk of the Saturday trying to watch the City game, and incurring the wrath of my dearest (who puts up with me disappearing to watch matches, home and away, most weekends)

Very wise. Has cooled down now and only mid to high 20s for about a week. It was so hot for so long the pool temperature was up to 30°. Spent about 10 days hovering around 40° and I couldn't eat. But at least I dropped over a stone 😂

Fair play to you for spending the time with her when on holiday....although you can get an audio pass when in the UK then listen to it 😆😁

It's 700 million total revenue (ISH) in a year for Liverpool which is a rough figure. They earned around £90 million getting to last 16 of the champions League, £120 in sales last summer, £180 million in tv rights and then they make on average around 350 million in commercial deals a year which includes everything else in terms kit, stadium sponsorships etc etc.

It really is crazy sums.

Does it feel in general the whole of the Championship has been less active so far in the transfer window?

Only Southampton, Leicester, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday have made less signings than us. Even Preston have made 9 signings. There's been over 100 signings by Championship clubs but most won't register with us at the time as they would only get on our bench at best.

Tbf I didn't realise that was the case and I try and keep on top of things best i can. Must be a lot of uninspiring signings like you say.

Even if we didn't sign anyone else - which seems unlikely - I've read that list and I'm not convinced anyone has massively improved their squads when you factor in players they've released or sold. Add one or two that improve our starting XI and we're in a decent spot.

Yeah nothing that wows me too much. Some good ones but overall nothing to shout about.
