I don't know how we managed before we had official mail and parcel delivery, and luxury shopping, partners mind :lol:

 

 

 

Just the dumbest part of FFP [emoji38] Could just get 500 different Saudi Companies to give us 999,999 quid a year to be our official *insert random commodity* sponsor.

 

Worrying that we dont have a mattress partnership yet like Man Utd

My favourite Man Utd ‘partnership’ is their official tractor partner:

“Thank you to every one of you for your incredible support tonight. 

‘The team gave it their all and took us on an incredible journey these last few months. We deserved more, but this is football. 

‘We will pick ourselves up and focus on Saturday. We still have a long season ahead of us. 

‘As I’ve said before, we are building something special here and we will continue to grow. The future is bright”

Super league or no super league, those clubs for more money exactly as they wanted to. 

Aye.

The super league is coming though, I’m not convinced it will be a European one over a closed Premier League though. The European clubs will want a European style one, but I think the English clubs would be more than happy with a closed Premier League, every club owned either by a state, or mega rich billionaires.

 

Once it happens though, whichever one was left out will fall and rise to its closed shop newrunner.

Liverpool, and Arsenal fans are absolutely fucking creaming about the thought of it. You know Everton will be happy to be the also ran hoping it happens and get an invite.

There’s a CJEU judgement due on a potential ESL on 21/12/23 re governance etc, one to watch out for.

Can someone remind me what 'market pool' is?

The TV money, which is supposedly split between how you performed in your domestic league last year and how far you go in the Champions League in the current season. Progress, more games on TV, more coin etc..

 

Although why there's then another bit for "performance" I don't know.

Blind, didn't see the detail on the tweet

Every country in Europe has a TV deal for UCL TV rights, percentage of that deal goes to the clubs of that country for that year.

 

So for example (I will make up a number because I don't feel like googling the exact number right now) let's say that England has around 150m£, 4 English clubs will split that 150m. How that money is split depends on which position you were in the table last year (we were 4th so as a base we get the least) and it also depends on how far you progress in the competition.

Nick De Marco KC has tweeted about the Court rulings on an attempt to cap agents fees to which the Court found in the agents favour. I tweeted him and said FFP and FMV should go the same way as they are anti competitive practises and wouldn’t be allowed in any other business sector.

 

He responded by liking the tweet, I’m probably reading to much into it or he agrees.

If anyone is interested, we hired a "head of data" to build out our non-existent analytics department who has no training in statistics. No comment. 

A quick Google suggests he has an MRes in data science from Loughborough, like.

Not my interpretation of what that means, given Loughborough does not offer that course (?). Given undergrad, much more likely to be have involved some linear regression in excel. My point in highlighting this is, in comparison to e.g. Liverpool and Man City (and those in US analytics), I think we're looking at something very different. 

 

For example, Liverpool's director of research did his PhD in physics at Harvard, worked at CERN, spent 4 years applying his research to tracking in sports, before working at Liverpool. Clearly elite talent who could work at most hedge funds, which is what we should have got IMO

Was probably this and the article incorrectly went with MRes instead of MSc: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/masters-degrees/a-z/data-science/#:~:text=This unique master's offers an,data analytics%2C management and stewardship.

 

Admittedly it's not a Havard PhD or work experience at CERN, but it would've been a bit more than linear regression in Excel, like. :lol:

I reckon it was an MRes with "data science" components in the dissertation, but who knows. He may be excellent, but as someone who does this for a living, it's not a CV I would have looked at, and a hire on paper that surprised me.
