Not so much about the first season as how we got up and then stayed up. There was a coached style of play.There were some ‘under appreciated’ players. This team is, I think, getting there. Not this year though. But we only went up by the skin of our teeth! You have a short memory.

We’ve chucked a few cheap points lately, we deserve one back. This is a pretty competitive division this year (even more than usual), I look at Charlton and Hull in 9th and 10th, and we might have expected to be above them, but the spread in the middle is really tight. Seven clubs at the bottom...

Incredible. Kellaway and Tribe both picked for England Lions this winter,

Sad but true, need an upgrade at opener (alongside Tribe) and a couple of quick bowlers good enough for the higher level. As a minimum!

What that says about the spirit of the group, blydi brilliant.

Isn’t that what a bot does?

The only valuation theory that holds up for football clubs is the Greater Fool theory. More seriously - a revenue multiple in itself is meaningless. Anyone can sell stuff at a loss. The key to value is to sell stuff at a profit (generate cash). Unfortunately …

if we rebranded as SwanseAI City we would be rolling in the money

Simple maths:if (big if) it’s worth £160m after a £50m fund raise then it was worth £110m before. Bloomberg have obviously seen some kind of fund raising document, which would be super interesting to see and would, presumably, explain to the potential investors why the club is worth £ xxx. I’m...

Birmingham looked like thugs. Horrible team. LOL at the result.

I was in Bilbao years ago and the taxi went past that bar. Never had the chance to go back and check it was real! Thanks for this.

I was just thinking yesterday what a good cricketer Gorvin is turning out to be Today 7-1-71-0

Self harm has always been a characteristic of Welsh rugby governance. The only way to make the economics work would be to seize on the discord between English pro rugby camps (will relegation/ promotion ever be reinstated? Is the bar to entering the top league too high?) and propose to merge...

I think in other sports (cycling) you have, or had, to make yourself available for an hour every day, all year round.The sportsperson uploads whereabouts to a shared calendar. It must be right to do so, otherwise everyone would load up on the appropriate gear over the summer and come back about...

I had a look at his stats on Cricinfo and amazingly he has got a 100 in a one-day international: Jersey against Papua New Guinea.

Good to see Tribe as well as Kellaway stepping up this year. Tribe will be gutted not to have got his ton yesterday.

I stopped reading at that point. What a Mickey Mouse error.

Fully 50% of their turnover is sponsorships and advertising. It can’t last.

Yes (if I were a shareholder/ business owner) I would spend as much as I could afford on the academy. We have a big catchment area, and hence first shot at a decent talent pool. It’s also the best shot at that money making transfer which helps the club fund itself.

This all feels about right to me. Reflecting on the last 3 yrs accounts while sweeping leaves … - we turn over about £20 m - we spend about £40 m. I do actually think this will be player wages and other legit expenses. It doesn’t look like a situation where the shareholders are scalping the...
