    Fingers crossed they can do it. Forest v Villa would be a good retro type final.

    Reports suggest Man Utd have had to drop their £66.00 cheapest match day ticket price....Its now £70.00!!! Only kidding....
    I'm not in anyway interested in Man Utd, but fan power appears to have persuaded that Jim Radcliffe bloke to think again...Good for them.

    Chelsea have reported a pre-tax profit of £128.4m in their financial results for the year ending June 2024

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cn91dg34pzqo

    Revenue down £44 million on the previous year, but the club credited the profit to the "disposal of player registrations" worth £152.5m and the "repositioning" of their highly successful women's team. BUT.

    My suggested headline: Chelsea owner keeps selling parts of the Chelsea business to his other companies in order to avoid the club getting bumfucked.

    It's crooked as ****.
    The previous 2 seasons they posted pre-tax losses of £121m, and £90m (despite selling the hotels). So that's £211m of loss, and you're only allowed £105m, so how do you find a way to fix that? By valuing your women's team at somewhere approaching 200m and buying it from yourself to make a profit of 128m.

    128-121-90 = -83 which is conveniently within the limit of 30m a year that an owner is allowed to put in to fund a club. Surely someone will have to look at whether he inflated the value of the ladies team.

    The fans are protesting it, but if the owner didn't sell the hotels and the ladies team, then they'd be totally ****ed, cos they'd have probably lost somewhere close to £350 MILLION in 3 years.

    Everton were docked 6pts for losing £20m more than permitted.

    Leicester lost 19.4m in the season they won the Championship.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c62x9901q92o

    Doesn't sound awful, BUT this includes them receiving £38m for selling Harvey Barnes, £15m for Castagne, £30m for Dewsbury-Hall and £10m for letting Maresca go to Chelsea.

    Was having a little look around other leagues and which teams are doing what and noticed this:

    upload_2025-4-2_17-19-1.png

    So, yeah, well done Ollie Pearce.

    Jokes, **** York.

    What actually caught my attention was the bloke playing for Southend United, Gus Scott-Morriss.

    He's their right back <laugh>. I **** you not and he hasn't been deployed as an emergency striker; this guy has 17 goals and 4 assists this season, while last season he managed 8 goals and 6 assists.

    His goals total for this season is pretty much the same as our entire attacking unit. If only he could play left back.

    So the training ground isn't owned by the club then.

    Most of us I should think, they came out at the end of last year.

    Derby’s pitch still looks like a ploughed field tonight.
