You have $1mm to transfer into his personal account? Good on you.

I don't think he's for sale. He has opened himself to plenty of valid criticisms, but I don't think that's one of them.

I believe the time machine renders it fantasy, science fiction or satire. Otherwise, yes. Make some bold hypothetical claim(s), that cannot be tested. Defend to the death. Belittle other posters for not agreeing with your ageless wisdom. You know, the way religious types end up in fights in...

Up until now, they have withstood regular scrutiny from state insurance examiners, bankers and foreign football leagues. I would say that, if anything, they were confident what they presented would hold up. He's a former Drexel Burnham Lambert cowboy from the Michael Milken years. That story...

How much more evidence can the league office need? Let 777 in, and it's only a matter of time before they're in bankruptcy court and/or behind bars, and we're in administration. Stick Pasko and Wander in a Tesla Roadster, put it on top of a rocket and fire it into the sun. Fitting end for the...

I was thinking more along the lines of, "Tell your boys to throw, or I call your loan in, you go bust and they don't get paid." Must be the differences between American organized crime and that abroad.

Multiple ownership interests are banned, but an owner can end up being another owner's creditor? That seems like a substantial conflict of interest, with potential competitive ramifications.

It's the stadium. If they can get hold of it with other people's money and sell it off or leverage it, they can cure their cashflow problems with the proceeds.

If the club plays games, it can't double dip on ticket sales in administration. It will have to honor the tickets already sold. If the club does not play games, you're SOL. You're almost guaranteed to get zero dollars back whether the cause is another pandemic, a meteor leveling Goodison or...

It's what happens when you're highly leveraged and hit the sort of cash crunch regulators forced A-Cap to put them in. Everyone knows you have to raise funds, so they all lowball you on asset sales because you have to take what you can get. Correct, you're an unsecured creditor who is junior...

It's simple. If the front is unmasked, the government will seize every dime put in post-Moshiri. That's a big risk, so he has calculated he's best off recovering what he can and writing down the rest as the results of political hazards.

No one you want owning your club will wildly overpay for it. That's how you get Todd Boehly.

Bad goalkeeping relegated Leicester last season. They went from Schmeichel the Younger to not-ready-for-prime-time, coughed up a bunch of early season goals, and went from 8th to sayonara on the back of that and a decline in offensive production. Letting Pickford go is way too much of a risk...

We're nine adrift of the European places on the pitch with three to play. Sixth and seventh have a game in hand. We're skint, have no clue who the owner will be next season, and know we'll have to sell playing assets well in excess of purchases to avoid a points hit. This does not sound like...

Sunk cost fallacy, if you ask me. He wanted it all back, and tossed dice multiple ways (both completing the deal and getting paid after the fact) chasing a bad bet. Others would have offered hundreds of millions of quid less. Their valuation probably hasn't declined too much. Their real cost...

The Alba/Alves dynamic Barcelona had of a full back who stays closer to home in support and a full back who gets forward at the slightest opportunity still is a common pairing. Top clubs want the  capability to attack from both wings because when the opponent puts eleven behind the ball the way...

At most we can move up or down one place in the table, which means a few million quid in prize money. I would think the information to be gained from throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks, as well as protecting key players from injury, would be worth more to the club. No reason to...

I don't know how it works over there, but in the US once the exclusivity deal was signed, anyone expressing interest openly before it expires could be looking at a tortious interference lawsuit. The problem is and always was that there were no other takers at Moshiri's price, which also...

32 from 30 on the pitch was a sack-level return, in context. 44 from 35 is comfortably mid-table, which is another proposition altogether. Fair play to him for delivering when he was up against it. I would retain, but I would not extend the contract. If we're in a good spot come January...

How to get turkeys to vote for Newcastle United Christmas: - Rough up some bottom half sides with points deductions for penny-ante PSR breaches - Offer a new system that guarantees they'll be kosher with a huge ceiling - Watch as Newcastle's Saudi owners spend their way to Prem relevance in no...
