Two of my friends, one an athletic trainer for a small local college sports department, and the other a US Paralympic weight lifter, have mentioned to me that there's been a lot of rethinking lately about icing injuries.  Maybe the staff is a bit behind the curve?  Obviously I have no clue how they treat injuries, but could be a possibility.

EDIT: Also not suggesting anything specific relating to Botman here, just seemed like a good thread to put it in.

Some evidence:

Aye, I guess  I just keep reading people talking about how it's impossible to maximise potential revenue at SJP but it seems to be a pretty vague concept in most people's minds what we would do differently.  Maybe Newcastle is ready for underground go karting and I'm just getting old

I keep thinking back to Cuban selling the controlling share of the Mavs and his reasoning.

https://apnews.com/article/dallas-mavericks-sale-mark-cuban-adelson-f2dff76f286d79a4be0708f7a929b5ce

“The advantage is what can you build and where and you need to have somebody who’s really, really good at that,” Cuban said before the Mavs’ game against Cleveland on Wednesday night. “Patrick and Miriam, they’re the best in the world at what they do. Literally, around the world.

“When you get a world-class partner who can come in and grow your revenue base and you’re not dependent on things that you were in the past, that’s a huge win,” Cuban said.

I wonder if the club knows anyone with experience in real-estate development.

An NFL example https://www.titletown.com/#:~:text=Welcome to Titletown,relax - no matter the season. 

A few years ago FSG let Lebron buy an equity stake with an eye towards winning the future NBA franchise that will probably be in Las Vega.  A month or so ago they brought Theo Epstein back in with an equity stake to play some undefined role possibly assisting with baseball ops.  They didn't need Lebron or Theo's money, they wanted their name or expertise.  My guess is that this could be the same with Edwards.

Goddamn that’s cheap. I think you’d find a lot of teams are 4-5x that for between the 20s. Not to mention the PSLs.

Apparently that's the per game average for season tickets, not singles, which I misread.  It did seem cheap.  You also have to pay a one time fee of like $2k when you qualify for season tickets.  I put my two sons on the list when they were born, but its around 140,000 people long.  They usually move up a few hundred spots each year.

It's pretty hard to get those tickets, the last game at Lambeau I went to (regular season against the Panthers 10ish years ago) I paid $500 for two corner endzone seats on stubhub.

I was amazed to read the other day that NFL clubs play 9 (nine) home games a season and still generate enough cash to operate, I wonder if their stadiums are used for other events all year around ?

A good overview:

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/062515/how-nfl-makes-money.asp 

According to this each NFL team made 170M more than NUFC in TV money last year (NFL broadcasting rights which are shared equally vs the Premier League TV payments).

An example: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-title-game-to-remain-in-atlanta-through-2026-in-new-falcons-stadium/

Per the AJC, the SEC will pay the Falcons a fee of $450,000 for use of the stadium in 2017 (an increase over the approximately $373,000 currently paid to the Georgia World Congress Center Authority), with those fees expected to increase over the life of the contract. The SEC will reportedly have the option of extending the deal for two five-year periods following its expiration in 2026.

They could play in empty stadiums and still be profitable due to TV money.   But yes most of the stadiums make a lot of money hosting other events.

Lambeau field holds 81k, second largest in the NFL I think.  Packers ticket prices for the last season:

South end zone, 700 Level – $64 for preseason, $128 for regular season (in 2022, prices were $63 and $125).

End zone seats – $65 for preseason and $129 for regular season (in 2022, prices were $62 and $123, respectively).

South end zone, 600 Level – $70 for preseason, $139 for regular season (in 2022, prices were $67 and $134).

End zone to the 20‐yard line – $74 for preseason and $148 for regular season (in 2022, prices were $71 and $141).

Between the 20-yard lines – $83 for preseason and $165 for regular season (in 2022, prices were $78 and $156).

It seems clear to me that the club is stockpiling in certain positions so they can sell players on to fund improvement at other positions.  We have Tripps, Tino, Krafth, and Ashby for RB.  It makes total sense to sell an aging player to free up playing time for a younger player, free up FFP wiggle room, and use the money to improve another position.

If all is booked in the current year regardless of installments or not, why does it matter that the money is paid upfront? Our owners have infinite money, pretty much the only thing that matters is the FFP limit.

Because most buying clubs aren't going to have 100m to pay as a lump sum.

Incredible performance

Impressive result.

Fuck, didn’t realize it was Turkey v Armenia tonight. Armenia 1-0 up as well. How often have they played each other?

 

Edit: I see Turkey won back in March. If they lose this i wonder if they just pretend it never happened.

 

 

 

Same if they murder them.

Barnes    Wilson     Murphy

Gordon   Bruno    Tonali

Burn   Botman   Schar   Tripps

            Pope

Can Gordon play in the midfield as more than an emergency player?  Would be a way to get him and Barnes in the team, and some pace in the midfield.

Otherwise maybe

Barnes    Wilson     Gordon

Anderson   Bruno    Tonali

Burn   Botman   Schar   Tripps

            Pope

Nashville isn’t just about music. People know it for that but it’s not even one of the major employers (music business). The migration from the big cities to Nashville is backed by the tremendous investment and development over the last decade+. The sport has always been popular in that city and the city itself is fiercely loyal to pro sports. NHL, NFL and MLS thrive there as the stadiums are in the city amongst the tourism area + easy to get to from outside the city. 

No state income tax helps as well, along with weather.  If I was going to move Tennessee would be one of my top choices.

You said shaming him, now it's pulling him up on it/telling him off.  If that's what you meant why not just say that.

They'll watch the film as a whole team or in a position group, and his mistake will be called out in front of others.  I guess if you want to call that shaming or not, that's a semantics argument.  That's just how I took @Sempiternal comment.

🙄 whatever you think. Call to authority is the dumbest fallacy of all time. If people can’t speak with authority on stuff they actually know, then what’s the point of having any insight into anything at all then is there? I’m telling you that’s what happens, not that I know more about football than anyone else, disco has far more reaching knowledge than me. I’m just telling you that’s what happens. They’ll pull the footage and tell him it’s not acceptable, how that’s controversial I don’t know

Anyone who has ever sat in a film room after a game knows this is what will happen.

9.5 for me, would've like 1 or 2 more lottery ticket type signings like Minteh. Overall very happy, and set up to be able to go big next year on the positions that weren't addressed this window.
