    January transfer window 2024

    Been compiling a list of players from the 777 clubs. If the reports are that they are interested in implementing their own model, possibly replace Thelwell seems worthwhile to look at the structure and overall standout talents in their pool. In total its not as bad as I thought it would be...

    January transfer window 2024

    Considering limited funds and the transition im sure we will focus on sales, especially if our form continues to seem promising. That said I would look at 777's portfolio first to see if any in-house trading could be possible. They would have some invested interest to leverage their best talent...

    Points Deduction, Appeal & 2nd PSR Charge

    Lot to parse in all this. To start it is laughable that this is the punishment when the league consistently turns its head from incestious businesses in clubs, and in this specific case had to invent a commission to relay a punishment. Beating a dead horse but the premier league by all intensive...

    Far from the most important thing in this mess, but I'd be curious if 777 just calls on its other clubs for immediate fixes. Sevilla share is the slimmest with the most assuring talent but they have done a fair bit of business between there clubs already. And Hertha also has relatively...

    A lot of scary notes in the Ornstein piece. If anyone need case and point that this level of wealth are frankly inept look no further. Moshiri was splashing short sided cash assuming his dividends from Usmanov investments would never dry up. One change in that and the house of cards collapses...

    The Architect

    I personally can't separate Moshiri from really the majority of Brands's failures as he has success before and now after at PSV. I do think one major caveat left out in his tenure was the youth ban in signings. Brands was brought in in large part to replicate the internal development of the...

    Our next manager......

    I really have never taken to Dyche but I will say I think firing him could be colossal mistake. I think a huge issue we have had is staggered hires during upheavel. We hired frank before the internal review was complete. Both Brands and Thelwell came in right after a managerial hire? I fear a...

    Clearly you must be right as that is how its playing out. But I just conflate that with the fact most of these clubs are not cash generating, the limited market of clubs for sale to begin with and that in a 10 year cycle the possibility if run correctly to double or triple the evaluation. There...

    That seems to be the case but I find it hard to believe there isnt more wiggle room then what has been rumored. Ultimately owning a club is a stature thing in a billionaire class. These arent cash flow assets for the most part. Its a scarcity market that returns are mainly made on resale. We...

    I personally want no business with sport washing owners but broadly speaking it is interesting to see what other sovereign wealth funds may have interest in football removed of the common names in the future. Obviously some of the middle east countries are doing this as much as to diversify...

    Feel the same as a lot of these comments. The entire portfolio does have grounds for a sensible model. The markets they have investments in could offer a pretty convenient and sensible model in transfer business and recruitment. But these are venture capitalists, the bare minimum of time and...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    I admit I never cared for this hire. But the thing that concerns me is that the team today looked more in his image. We have tossed off the majority of creative play for lobbing cross field passes and counters. The system looks devoid of any creativity for chances or play inbetween seams. I...

    Summer transfer window 2023

    I would really like some CB depth and think there are a fair bit on the market to fit the role of squad player with some upside and projectable succession to Tark. Fees per transfermarkt. Zeno Dabast, 18, Belgium, Anderlecht 10 million Anthony Rouault, 22, France, Toulouse, 8 million Carlos...

    Summer transfer window 2023

    Just a random thought but if Arsenal are really willing to tear up Pepe's contract, wouldnt a loan even if they are paying some of the wages be a cheaper option then a settlement? Per spotrac he is making 20k more than Iwobi's weekly. Would only be interested in a loan but just saying could do a...

    Summer transfer window 2023

    Each are deserving of their opinion but kind of on the other end on this one. Personally I have doubts on Beto, but beyond that think its a pretty gross overestimation of a deal. There are younger, more productive higher ceiling strikers across europe going for basically the same price, maybe a...
