Atm, Michut is not strong enough for the rough and tumble of the English game. He undoubtedly has ability and will, as he grows and gets stronger become quite a player. He can have another start at Shrewsbury, giving a rest to our 1st team league players.
Its not long ago that Ba and Neil were being written off after playing as a 2 , cant remember the game, but its now the turn of another exciting prospect who will prove them just as wrong, and when all are up and running together in the team we will have some engineroom, mark my words.
What does my head in about articles like that is that they are far to quick to label playes as fantastic or ****e. In truth, we probably won't see the best of Ba, Michut and Jewi until next season after they have had a pre season to bed in. We just need to enjoy their good games and support them through their tough spells.
I thought Jewi could have come on last few minutes yesterday tbh., Clarke apart, a few were struggling to keep going.
Blatantly stolen from Grumpy ( who is clearly a very clever bloke). To explain FFP a bit more FFP wages to turnover . It will be phased in - 90% in 23/24. 80% in 24/25, and finally to 70% in 25/26. the percentage also includes transfer income and spend. So essentially (income+fees received)/(wages+fees paid)*100 must be less than 70 by 25/26.
Bored at work, so been on Companies House to see what our turnover and profit / loss has been. 2017 TO £121 million P/L -£10 million 2018 TO £63 million P/L -£26 million 2019 TO £58 million P/L -£11 million 2020 TO £29 million P/L -£2.6 million 2021 TO £10.7 million P/L -£11.7 million So totals for the last 5 years Turnover £281.7 Million Loss £61 Million. That's some scary figures and ones that highlight trying to be sustainable and that we have to trust the 'model'
Here and everywhere there are people who go and watch football and appear to know nothing about it. As if they've never played a minute of it. They never seem happy.
He'll only pick the rhythm of the league up by playing in it though, and that's what we're doing with players. Neill, Clarke, Stewart, Embo, many others have all improved hugely during their time here, so let's hope Mitchu is another . What a difference to years of old stagers picking up whatever they could get here!
That's the best I've heard from him. Almost entirely free of jargon. Interesting to see him mention what many here have said regarding obvious improvements needed on what he called the business side of things. Well done. Keep it up!!
His comments about Simms where interesting, ties in with what Mowbray said as well. I really believe these younger lads can see the benefit of what is happening here
Still came out with “We’ve got a first class, progressing to world class structure behind the scenes”
Said Simms was disappointed to go back and that he can only come here or play for Everton, so there might be something to do at the end of January
