If that stat about earning more than twice as much in terms of revenue is correct, the decision has been made already. By the latest accounts that's an extra £40m+. The question now is where and really Leazes area is the only option isn't it? I'm assuming most people voting for a new stadium are assuming it's either there or somewhere else close by so if they go outside the city there's going to be considerable backlash.

Didn't realise until I did that how many kits I don't actually like...

Presumably at least part of it will be our favourite word - amortisation. eg. Isak cost £63m, I'm not sure how much of that was paid up-front but assuming all/most of it then we'd need £63m cash but only £12.6m would be on the years accounts. There's £50m straight away. Gordon I'm fairly sure was £45m cash because Everton needed the money so that's £45m versus £10-15m on the accounts.

I can't remember the prices but I took my daughter to the Alnwick and Barnsley games and I'm fairly sure they were cheaper than £8. She's only young and I remember thinking that at £3 or whatever even if she decides she's bored or cold we can just go somewhere else and I've not wasted much. Maybe I'm just tight but more than double that amount and I'm less likely to think that way. As it is we were away anyway so we couldn't have gone regardless. I appreciate the argument that this is two tiers above those games but in the grand scheme of things a 6yo isn't going to notice that difference and a 30+yo who never watches anything below the mens Championship normally is not necessarily going to think that difference in quality justifies the extra expense.

The "-" key is next to the "0", easy mistake to make

From a PSR perspective yes so an £80m sale, assuming the 10% sell on claim is accurate, is +£46.8m on the PSR calculation.

I think £40m would be the biggest sale from the Championship by a considerable margin, apart from teams who were selling the summer they got relegated (eg when we signed Barnes). Watkins (£30m) would be the most expensive transfer from a Championship club.

How much would Osimhen be available for? With my very limited football knowledge he's the only one I could think of as a possible direct replacement that would potentially be available.

Summer maybe. He's still got a while on his contract, Leverkusen look to be challenging for CL places and he's played every minute of every game so far. Would take a monumental offer in January I reckon.

Considering it's £300+ per person in any of the hospitality sections, that's not a bad deal.

Let's be honest, if they do drop out of the top two in the next few weeks and don't get promoted, nobody will even remember their brief spell as leaders. The season is only 15 games old and they're only ahead of Sheff Utd because of a points deduction
