Whilst we all dislike Romano, he is normally very good on these things even if he’s a bit trigger happy. I’d be almost certain that Jonathon Pearce’s source on Gilmour is better than any of Romano’s seeing as he was in the ground and around the Albion hierarchy yesterday…
Sean Dyche? Really?
Awful bloke.
Also, I get the superficial love of Tim Cahill as a player but his role as a member of the Qatar World Cup’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy turned me off him very quickly (as it did for a lot of Aussies)
Crouchy is alright though, any excuse to...
He loves living in Brighton apparently and has no intention of moving his settled family. The strikingly obvious answer as to why he’s turned down so many high-profile roles, especially whilst Todd pays him to sit at home.
Maybe he’s holding out for the England job or maybe he’s just waiting...
For balance, he's paid the industry standard by all accounts - Neville and Carragher on similar and no one is calling for Sky to dump them and lower their subscription fees.
Match of the Day still gets around 3-4 million viewers every week (ITV's live community shield coverage got 1.2m viewers...
I may be wrong but seem to remember from the England U21 games where they had a similar lower bowl only layout that it should be around 20k full capacity.
With Crawley probably getting 3k by the looks of the ticket sale page, we've probably sold around 12k so far.
Should get close to a sell out of the lower bowl from our side tbh. 4,857 left. A new signing or two and a good result on Saturday and tickets will go.
He did a ton of Olympic coverage so presumably just having a bit of a break/holiday. He's still the face of the show on iPlayer.
He'll either be on radio duty for the Paralympics or back on the MotD2 set soon. He's rightly one of the BBC's prize assets.
Did some work at Hay Festival this year and got to hear him speak and (very briefly) have a quick chat with him. Really unassuming bloke in person, very down to earth, no entourage (one of the only celebrities with no handler). and spoke with a huge amount of humility.
He said something really...
Club have a year option according to TransferMarkt.
Original tweet said no option to buy so expect the club to trigger the option for another year, send him to Brest on loan and look to sell next summer.
100%!
Last year's run made around €11m in prize money alone, and I think I remember reading that including TV money, we pulled in around €21m in revenue from UEFA (don't quote me on this as I may have misremembered). It's about an additional 10% to our allowed budget essentially - hefty.
I'm really glad we're spending the money we have but the club have sort of been forced into doing so a bit.
The three-year-cycle of PSR is about to die a very quick death in favour of single year, revenue related rules. Because of this, our profit made over the last two summers would...
