Was chatting with some fans on the train today about best away pub atmospheres before games, especially now so many games are in London with fans so spread out. Beehive in Bolton got a few shouts (followed by Hirst’s goal). What others come to mind?
Fair point on Ashton at Bristol, I was misinformed (had thought he overspent there) and have removed that comment.
Agree that none of the transfers have been huge relatively speaking, more just thinking of the aggregate spend. Either way, agree with you that ITFC will be aware of the rules and keen not to break them.
Fair point. You could say that Clearlake capital also needs to make a return for its underlying investors too… but the three years of Gamechanger have shown us that they’re certainly no Boehly.
Apologies if there’s already been a discussion on this but I’m just wary of the level of fees and wages we must be aggregating to.
I’m loving the business we’re doing, especially with coach McKenna at the helm, and I get that: 1. We’re signing players with age on their side and huge resale potential 2. The “loan with obligation to buy if we stay up” model financially derisks the three big loans 3. We are going with longish contracts to amortise the costs 4. We have the money from the US 5. Ashton is a shrewd custodian
But does that cover us? I’d hope it does.Just really don’t want to do a Forest and remember the Sheepshank years of financial pain which hamstrung us until Evans came along.
