It’s such a lazy, ignorant type of comment. The model of Wolves was to buy every player in Portugal. And Southampton got lucky with four or five key players, and sold them all. Neither team identified talent in the way we do, neither team succession planned like we do, etc. Not really the...

WHEREABOUTS IN WADHURST?

I'd prefer that Bozza updates BG's post count to 500,000. Keep him at the top and give Stat a proper target to aim for.

An 8-year contract at £10m a year is huge, and a player would simply have to consider whether they think they'll be able to get a significant pay increase within a few years if they instead went for a 4-year contract. I think there is quite a bit of jeopardy there, and anyone who isn't Messi /...

Those are two different things aren't they? Chelsea have spent £115m on this player, they have to amortise that over the length of his contract (but for UEFA FFP, it is calculated over 5 years). But that isn't the same as cash flow - the amount they pay us / Independiente is solely based on...

Isn't that the point of their medal system? Gold for reliable, silver for modest and bronze for unlikely? I may have that wrong, I think they have a 'reliability index on their profile'

I would actually be really OK with him going to Chelsea for more than £110m. That way we can get closer to the golden '£1bn moved from Chelsea to Brighton'. I'm very keen we reach that number by 2025. It's actually mind-blowing how pathetic Chelsea's football club management prowess is. Just...

Keep them spinning, and then sell to some horrible Saudi emperor for £250m

My latest addiction is watching people play Football Manager - a game I’ve never played myself. This series was brilliant, actually made me laugh so much. And also…

The price tells you it doesn't. It's £299,999 too much

Half of you need to look up the word equity

I personally wouldn't assume Chelsea being interested is any indicator of a player's future success. Given the absolute mountains of money they've wasted over the years. Arsenal too, albeit in very recent years they seem to be doing a bit better.

Ok, so I may have somehow gone down a youtube rabbithole of people playing Brighton in Football Manager '23 (a game I don't play myself). This 1.5 hour video I skipped through a fair bit, but it certainly made me smile.

Highly likely yes, but you must make sure to use a VPN when signing up - don't sign up on a normal UK connection and then try and stream using a VPN - DAZN etc will block that before you even start.

Bloody typical. I’ve got to get up in three and a half hours 😂 Ah well, good learning experience for the youngsters

One hour to go team! I’m hungry

At this point, I would like to highly recommend the book 'Skunk Works' by Ben Rich, which details the development of the Stealth Bomber, U2 and Blackbird. Really interesting and if you are into technology development, lots of lessons in the book about testing and learning / iterative development.

I like this from Lyon. I'm sure Adidas could have made these stripes different colours easily enough

I prefer the right-aligned Amex logo a lot. And thank the lord we ditched the panel once we went big time. This year is a step up from last year, but I do prefer 19/20 and 21/22 over the current one. This season's looks a bit like a blue shirt with the striped one frankenstein'ed onto it. I...

Yep, club twitter confirms it's today. And the shop is offline.
