Yeah showing punters they are a generous bookie to draw them in. Plenty of free headlines. A gamblings firms core mission is to hook more and more people.

On Chelsea, are any of the players they bought worth more now than what they paid Palmer being the obvious exception?

These guys are costing them half a mil per week. For us to do it we would need guaranteed champions league which obviously can't be guaranteed.

Saudi. Go and buddy up with CR7. They are only ones daft enough to pay the asking price.

Everton almost punishing more comedy defending.

Aye they got absolutely rinsed as usual.

So he's going to go back to place where head shit on and sacked after one disagreement. I highly doubt it. I don't like the bloke but I don't think he's completely brain dead.

Hoijlund looks absolutely awful every time I watch him.

No chance he'd go back.

More compo to pay if they bin him.

More pacing from the Manchester red Gaffa no leadership or instructions. Just emptiness.

Might get his P45 at half time.

Anorim pacing up and down, looking perplexed.

It's a proper shit off this mind.

Var desperate to rule this out.

As I know your aware that world seems to have very little relevance nowadays.

From an emotional point of view maybe? From a business point of view why would I incur a hefty cost to dispose of an asset?

Would be nice if we could move this Nunez chat elsewhere.

As our owners are aware, generally the team with the most money wins, so if we want to win we need the most money. Arsenal is a decent yard stick because they are like the middle of the big 6 finance wise. And personally I'm talking about being successful consistently not on a on off basis.

They aren't even comparable. Ratface had invested more in a year than Ashley did in 12 years.

Total revenue is the only relevant metric.

Using the Deloitte figures I've checked our gap to Arsenal. 2022 the gap was 196.5m euro. 2025 the gal is 344.7m euro. Now I understand these figures are cherry picked I just wanted a quick dirty point of reference. The takeaway is, despite our revenue growing aggressively the gap has almost doubled. This is what we are up against.

It's very difficult to predict so far out with so many unknowns, sure we might we also might not. In order to maintain the gap they do not need to grow revenue at that rate though and of course such a gap gives them a nice buffer. What is important is obviously closing the revenue gap rate of growth isn't so important the raw numbers are and the difference between them.
