Its only stupid financially if you can't manage the PR, otherwise the potential benefits are huge - 100% profit on something? Yes please from a business perspective.

He's not fat. He's just big boned?

TNS have been professional since 1990. RBS has a history of going under & selling its name, its why its still around. Also the breakaway group who didn't want to support it have a stadium sponsor like us. Not Called Total Network Solutions any more either iirc.

Has a black friend?

Robbie Savage has bought some land to build a hotel and restaurant next to my house. Might get some player/ex=player spotting action once its built

Even Leeds fans hate Leeds tbh

Depends, If you want to know how much money you have to spend then yes, but if you want to see how the club funds itself then no. You don't really want a club to show a small profit only because they sold a player for £35 million, it masks the fact that next year you have a big £30 million plus hole to fund by selling more players kind of what i was getting at, amortisation skewes the whole picture so pure cash flow is a better guide. hmm, in my view you really need to look at both together, and in a medium term they will say the same story anyway. Op Profit is important for the reasons I outlined above - you need to know how well the club can sustain itself day to day. But total profit/loss is also important as it shows how well the club uses these op profits to build a better squad. Ammortisation is important to seeing how the club is run so I wouldn't be relying on cashflow to show this - you really need to look at everything in the accounts to get a true(ish) picture of things again kind of what i was getting at. the original thing i took umption at was the idea that player trading would "blow apart" something which i can't really see. re amortisation, with the club, i presume doing all it's business upfront, does amortisation come into it as much especially with it being much more a haphazard and subjective variable than in the normal business world (ie for accounting for the buying of plant machinery) ? Agreed, wouldn't blow apart, but may mask underlying issues!

Clubs always quote it seperately, though. Dekka was at pains to say how we made a small loss last year- but this was the operating loss and won't take account of the fact the club booked over £30m for a player who was probably on the books for a million tops. Carroll was on the books at zero Sports direct don't make anything, so probably nothing :'( Different things, Operating profit is everything excluding player purchases (shown as the ammortisation value over a period of years) and sales, and probably interest. All clubs show accounts this way, infact all companies show operating and non operating income. Think of it as day to day costs and income vs events that are one off in nature (in general of course)

Worth sticking him back at LB to move Santon to RB? Would rather see Ferguson given a go, but lets be honest that aint going to happen

I'll take full responsibility for the result. Was always going to happen with the amount of stick I've been throwing Harry's way over the bast couple of weeks at work

This with Willo of course I'd even play this Krul Santon Willo Colo Ferguson Cabaye Tiote Guthrie Ben Arfa Ba Cisse Think Jonas needs a rest tbh. He's looked no whee near his old self If it was next week then Guthrie would have made my line up, 2 weeks should give Jonas a nice rest. One good thing we have is that we now have 14 days without any sort of game, bar Tiote's final. Enough time to work on something completely new on the training ground

Krul Santon Anyone Colo Ferguson Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ben Arfa Ba Cisse

Defensive qualities form our right winger?

Still reckon one of Swansea or Norwich will find themselves dragged down the table

So if we win we'll be closer to Spurs than Liverpool are to us

Keenan? What's Kel's response? I already did that joke I prefered the remake

Keenan? What's Kel's response?

If memory recalls in 2 of the ladt 3 games against this lot Bale and King have had to leave the field early doors (separate games). Modric, Adebayor or Bale this time please

Could the FA not invoke the same FIFA rule that allows all national bodies to call up players on International dates to use a club manager between now and the summer?

Sounds like Chris Hughton would be ideal

But 100% worth it for the lols

Probably due a littel knock in the next couple of weeks. We never seem to have to make a decision between Guthrie, Tiote and Cabaye for too long as ones always out

Small point but fair play to Shola when Cisse came on, a little encouraging pat on the back despite not getting on himself. Subpar player, but a good team member
