To be fair, I don't think that there is suggestion that all of the advisors to Fair Game as an organisation have contributed to this index.

There is a lack of clarity about how the scores for each element are allocated and I do wonder what has changed so much at our club in the last six months to drop our scores so significantly since their January report which was presumably based either on different figures, or different metrics. (No explanation of the methodology, or the sources for the base figures seems available without signing up).

Whatever is different between the two reports has significantly dropped our financial sustainablity. Perhaps it was our qualification for one of those notoriously financially disadvantageous European competitions, or perhaps it was the accounts being published in March showing that the club had made a profit for the first time since it has been in the EPL? Who knows?
It’s because TB has put so much money into the club

Am I right in saying we score low because of our reliance on one man financially? Whether he’s a fan or not, they give a low score if a club is is that financially dependent on one party?
Yes, unless that one fan is a Russian oligarch who walks away from the club

Are you suggesting that Tony needs to finance an invasion of a neighboring country to enable the Albion to gain access to PL riches ?
Not quite, if Rishi Sunak invades Wales to divert attention from an awful domestic and international performance and TB then writes off the debt owed by the club to him as he flounces to another country it would boost the Albion’s standing in the FG Index.

Sounds like a plan. They must have been discussing something when that picture was taken at Lords and Wales is quite nice at this time of year.

No top-ten finish this year, either: 1. Tottenham 2. Manure 3. Cambridge 4. Brentford 5. Norwich 6. Swansea 7. Fulham 8. Wimbledon 9. Exeter 10. Liverpool

Not sure about the other 9 but anything that suggests Man U are a well run club is fiction.
