Control F’ing sections of his tweet, it is all there - the rebates, wholesale costs, volume of kit ordered etc. What it means for revenue though is very much his interpretation.

Is the clubs submission to the Competition Appeal Tribunal public? Insinuating it’s from there.

Excellent appointment. Best we could hope for, and, arguably a better fit than Ashworth. The fact that it’s a stock photo as opposed to one at SJP / elsewhere would suggest it’s come together rather quickly.

Indeed, we need to be smart traders going forward and unequivocally this is a good deal.

You wouldn’t have thought so, almost £13m a year amortisation charge.

From Edward’s article on Gordon.

Can believe that.

37 year old League One level goalkeeper, might well be comparable!

The goalkeeping coach did his ACL towards the end of the season didn’t he? This might in part be about bolstering numbers on the training pitch.

Why? Well the last 24 hours surely spell the end for any interest in Trafford.

It’ll be this. Get ready for counter-briefings from both sides.

So this assessment was probably fairly accurate.

If he does end up costing £10m, it’s still an excellent transaction overall with Forest versus in effect the sale of say Gordon to Liverpool, which would have been at a distressed valuation.

No fee mentioned by Ornstein. Anything around £12-15m would be fair. Probably needed a move.

Internet sleuths have discovered his wife’s no longer following him on Instagram.

Mark Douglas reporting in the Independent this morning that Everton want £37m - and that we value Minteh at £40m.

I like Kilman, but the £40m valuation mooted in the article is farcical. Appreciative that it’s little more than paper talk, but our approach [Kelly, Trafford, DCL, Kilman] is lacking a little in inspiration.

No fee mooted, but he is now in his final twelve months of his contract. And without that context it’s difficult to determine the value. At £20m with Howes undisputed track record in improving players, he’s a perfectly good back-up and useful off the bench. At £50m it would be a real head scratcher to say the least.

It’s too rich for Behdad Eghbalis blood, then the demands must be astronomical.

He has match day increasing by £1.2m - which I suspect is undercooked. Same number of games given the League Cup run the previous year but significantly higher ticket prices in the Champions League and one suspects, better corporate uptake. The £7.7m decrease is associated with domestic league position / merit payment. Suspect commercial will be higher as well.

Very detailed and concerning analysis of PSR today in Swiss Rambles blog, even assuming for a £50m increase in our revenue from £250m to £300m, he is forecasting a £63m operating loss, compared to the required £2m profit to hit PSR, so £65m needs to be generated from player sales. However, that £65m includes the sale of ASM. So perhaps as much as £40m gap. Plenty of assumptions in play of course.

Fairly widely reported now. Although seems they are wide apart on valuation.

We’ll probably sell him and keep Almiron for another two years.

Profile is not an uncommon hire for Premier League club - I know Arsenal’s COO was Managing Director of Manchester Airport. But the emphasis in the press release on capital investment and transformation is quite telling. Exciting [or at least as exciting as it gets for a non-footballing hire…].
