Guardian interview with Levien and Kaplan 15:50 - Feb 9 with 11539 viewsTummer_from_Texas

I'd like to see the detailed math on how they came up with 114.3MM in player expenditures versus 89.9MM in income from player sales. I've tried to give these guys the benefit of the doubt, but it sure doesn't seem to add up, TBH.

More from the writer about this interview:

Corporate stakeholder in being prepped well for journalist interview shocker.

Theyre his assets, of course hes gonna have a clue. Dont ask him about football in a wider sporting context though.

That was a relief reading that.

I managed to avoid making a fool of myself for once.

Am I to understand you have a new arrival Res? Congratulations to you and especially to Mrs Res.


You are correct and thank you mate 👍

Because he wasn't meant to be Ash's replacement. They thoguth Amat would step up.

The fact remains, they could have saved several million by signing him when he was identifed by the head of recruitment, but didnt.

We criticise for wasting money, and not identifying 'bargain' players when we used to.

Then we have a Chairman ignoring advice.

Yes, we will make a huge profit, eventually on Mawson. But that's not the fecking point, is it!

It is about a flawed recruitment, run by the Chairman/DOF.

Another example - one of many for the Academy and U23s is the Academy - is the Boston kid we just signed. This will block some very good U18s from moving up, and then those below them too.


We've got no surplus centrebacks in the development setup. Now that Joe Rodon is out on loan and Keston Davies is missing presumed released, we're down to Cian Harries (signed last summer) and Brandon Cooper (an U18s player) in the U23s. Maybe Mael Davies (a rightback) as cover?

It's not a Reid/Blair/Biabi signing.

Wait until you see the next generation.


It's already upon us mate. I read elsewhere in this thread "Now that would be a thread or two to revisit and pour over". I can only hope that the aforementioned thread or two didn't get too wet.

You should have asked Dim about this, he can knock these things together in 4 minutes gross, including screen grabs and upload time.

Here's my numbers (Source: Transfermarket.com, the web's premier resource tansfer and player blah, blah, blah. Includes Agents fees assumed @10%). Add '17+'18

Ins
----




Outs
----



So a couple of points arising from this.

1. The ex ante numbers I put together were within around 10% of the figures supplied in the article. I'm cerainly happy with that.

2. Transfermarket must be a reasonable source. Can't get everything right of course; nobody can.

3. The chickenshits saying Transfermaket was all wrong were proved - well - all wrong. And unable to come up with any better alternatives, not that they were needed obviously. Anybody surprised?

4. One thing I gleaned from this is that clubs appear to be paying agents both on incoming and outgoing transfers. Interesting.

BTW hi Dim, nice hat you're waaring tonight.


Just read this. I assume you are accusing me of being The Cobbler too??

I honestly think you would accuse me of being The Res too if you didn't know first hand. Basically anyone who puts you in your box is me. I will take that as a great compliment. Almost like an all encompassing shapeshifter forum super hero

Your mind must be like a giant game of Cluedo, yet I am the only piece and you are the only player. Bit weird.

By the way, just because you believe there is no better resource for transfers than transfermarket.com that does not make it an accurate source. Just a point of order.

I think people should take a look at TheCobbler's posting history - no pun intended - and form their own views on this.

I am not going back there agian, but posts like "Fcuk the SCSA" and Jenkins is a magician sound awfully like you.

And if not you, Dim, then certainly the same team, and there aren't many more than a bobsleigh's worth, are there?

Even though I have no real opinion on the SCSA (not entirely sure what they are about even though have asked numerous times) and don't like Huw Jenkins you mean? Yeah you are probably right.

Just because you have tried to pimp your inaccurate spreadsheet around and nobody is taking any notice other than to criticise it - doesn't mean you should continue your obsessive pursuit of everybody being the same poster.

I think you need to calm down a little.

By the way, have you heard of a static IP address? Feel free to PM a mod and ask them if you want to know for sure. They can with my permission give you my IP address, guess where I am based (clue is in the name). I can't for obvious reasons give you permission to know which ever other posters you decide to accuse of being me every day - but I am sure they can give you a simple yes or no to your recurring question. You know how much I worry for your state of mind, especially recently. That may put your mind at ease.

I just hope you don't then devise another plot in your head that there is a forum seal team and we are all in on it, getting paid vast amounts of money for noting such crazy opinions as "we had to sell Llorente with a matter of months on his contact".

I hope that helps you free your head space a little. Genuinely.

Yes shame indeed. You may call it "baseless accusations" but in reality it is just "lying" isn't it. To satisfy your delusion that anyone dare may see through your nonsense.

Looks like I am not the only one who has fallen victim of your paranoid delusions.

(No I am not the poster Shonky either, but on this occasion would be flattered as he is a thoroughly good poster).

And you only used to have - what - the odd dozen multis on the go that I was aware of. Phaderus, Drizzly, Jackanappes to name a few that immediately spring to mind.

You used to cycle though them down-arrowing me, remember that?

Well I certainly don't give a fcuk, but it seems they are very important to the multiboys like Shonky and Dim, judging by the quantities they dispense.

Are those facts, out of interest? Or just the type that seem facts in your head?

It is important we differentiate between the two as they have vastly differing meanings - as this thread alone shows.
