Yeah any kind of infrastructure, something like a stack fanzone perhaps

Think we need to see the actual detail, there were two votes apparently, one of which was unanimous. I can't see the likes of ourselves, Villa, Forest & West Ham going for this with those restrictions in place - odd.

My bad, I assumed the "staff costs" on the accounts would have included purchases & salaries - must be sailing close to the wind then if you include amortisation cost on top ?

74.1%, down from 94.6% the previous season - they're expecting similar for this season iirc. All good for premier league, but high for UEFA's more stringent 70% cap

Yeah, her holding is just under 7% now iirc

You'd hope as part of any deal in ManU getting DA early they'd put in some "non-compete" clauses for our players and potential incoming transfers for at least the summer window, if indeed he goes before the summer.

Magpie Rangers - we have a ready made song for that

Aye true, the second came from an awful giveaway in midfield (couldn't make out who it was because of the shadow of the main stand) - literally passed to the # player under zero pressure. Seemed to me the occasion got to them yesterday unfortunately, a trait that's plagued the men's team for decades.

They signed an international keeper in January - dont know if she's been given any gametime yet?

I read that as within the next 5 years from now, pushing more to the pessimistic end of their initial assessment of major success within 5-10 years but still on target

So you'd be happy if Adidas changed a little bit in the middle of our badge, like changing the colour of the black stripe to red? It's a national shirt and all about the identity

Think people may be in for a shock when the new Toon Adidas tops arrive in June if they think £80-90 is expensive, sadly

Think you're being a little optimistic about the costing of adding 7k to the Gallowgate, that figure could easily be 4 times that. Also I'd think the av. income will per seat would be higher - Even without taking inflation into account, I cant see staying at SJP with a circa 60k capacity and no significant additional number of "corporate" accommodations not resulting in the base price of a seat/ST significantly increasing over time. But yes even with these considerations the payback period from adding 7000 seats could easily be in excess of 15-20+ years

Doesn't the FFP reporting window not close for the current season (23/24) on 30/06/24? England transfer window supposedly opens on June 14th, so that's a two week "grace" period to get players out - if not the likes of Chelsea may be stung for this year

To be fair, looks like she can play a bit ...
