being financially illiterate i didn't realise a loss of £86m equated to hugely profitable


You're right.

The main thing we're looking at is the exponential increase in revenue year on year, with a portfolio that is diversified in such a way that things like CL money is a nice bonus rather than the be all and end all of our financial health.

Villa are an example of the latter. They've gambled huge piles of debt on qualifying for the CL next season. If they don't, they're heading the same way as Everton and Forest unless they sell some big names to offset the losses. They have no other way of making significant sums of money other than those two options, which makes it a high risk strategy.

By contrast, and this is entirely due to having a multi purpose stadium, Spurs have those two options plus another 3-4 more with a further 2 major developments for revenue streams in the pipeline.

I'd only be worried about debt if I couldn't see a clear and relatively certain plan in place to keep it manageable and eventually (i.e. once the stadium is paid of/starts paying for itself) non existent.
 
Strange kick off times for both yesterday’s West Ham and tonight’s City game. I’m obviously missing something, but can’t be arsed to find out. I’m sure some kind soul will enlighten me ?

It happens when BT now TNT screen matches, you will get one match at 7.30pm and the other at 8.15pm, I've always assumed it's so you can switch at HT if you want to ie for tv viewers.

Conor Gallagher's getting dog's abuse for apparently snubbing a mascot, a little black kid.

In his defence, Conor has put out a statement saying, "The incident has been taken completely out of context, I thought it was Sterling."

Some kid putting his hand up like that means fook all to me. Like what you want, a signature on your hand?
