  1. Absolutely criminal from the medical team. Verging on professional negligence.
  2. Far from encouraging from Mark Douglas this morning. Hope we hold firm.
  3. One year extension for Ritchie and Dummett incoming.
  4. Struggling to find it - can’t recall which piece it was in. But it wasn’t the Ornstein Q&A, albeit that does further insinuate the power dynamic at play.
  5. Jack Ross is a new name, but the idea that Howe wants the DOF position to have less sway in first team recruitment was in the Athletic over the weekend too.
  6. Louise Taylor in the Guardian, not a quote that inspires confidence.

    Interesting, for what I believe is the first time ever the quotes this morning would suggest it’s not guaranteed and could be appearance based?
  8. Douglas in the Independent seems to be suggesting we won’t replace like for like, or at least his successor will have a slightly different remit. Which I’d hope wouldn’t be the case.
  9. £20m would be fantastic business. I’d drive him there myself.
  10. As much as I’d like to try and rationalise this in my head, it would be a major set back.
  11. And this shows just how stacked the deck is. Estimate that our CL participation has earned around €34m in TV money with the coefficient model largely to blame. Benefits the traditional elite, while clubs that have only recently qualified are effectively penalised. And this brought a wry smile. PIF’s £27m outlay in the last two years is nearly four times as much as Ashley spent in preceding 12 years. Should say you can sign-up to him on substack for a month and cancel. But there’s excellent analysis across the board and worth a few quid.
  12. It is profit on player sales and the tables only up to Chelsea’s annual financial results for the year ended 30 June 2022 - of which they made £123m alone in that season. So will jump again. It’s not net spend as you say, because as I understand it’s less relevant in FFP given the amortisation period. As demonstrated here.
  13. On the need for player sales: ”One area where Newcastle have plenty of room for improvement is player trading, considering that they have only made around £11m profit from player sales in the last three years. It will be a bit better this season following the sales of Allan Saint-Maximin to Al-Ahli for £23m and Chris Wood to Nottingham Forest for £15m, but it’s still a lot less than their rivals. To illustrate how poor Newcastle have been in this area, they had the third smallest profits from player sales in the Premier League in the five years up to 2022 with just £62m. In stark contrast, Chelsea generated nearly half a billion pounds (£467m) from player trading in this period, while five other clubs made more than £200m“
  14. No worries, it’s a big read so let me know if there’s anything of particular interest.
