have just published their accounts up to May 2023. Headlines: losses £42m (up from £31m). Wages £21m (from £13m). Total revenue £7m (up from £4m). Advertising revenue £4m (up from £3m).
Nowhere near breaking even - is it really a business aimed at making money?

GB News ltd are overdue filing their accounts. They lost nearly £37m in their last published accounts, so these are likely to be significantly worse. It will be interesting to see how the 'going concern' requirement is met

Overheard today: ' has all the right qualities, it's just that he's been unlucky with all his decisions '.

Made me wonder if they're as understanding with their team's football manager...

The news re UEFA is not good news for . A fine from the PL seems likely. But CFC self-reported and will have co-operated. But City hid deception and are charged with failing to co-operate with investigation. Something more than a fine seems entirely possible

Sheffield Utd's all-time record signing is Brewster at £21m.

Man City have signed 37 players who have cost more, arriving for between £23m and £100m each, 19 of them since Pep arrived.

Interestingly, donated £9k to Conservative Party from club funds. Follow through the BBC logic and they should be banished from MOTD also theguardian.com/football/2023/…

Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter.

Compare and contrast.

Anyone wondering why the Manchester City case has dragged on might want to consider the Statute of Limitations for Tort (I.e. being able to sue the club for impact of rulebreaking). It's 6 years in the UK...

The Manchester City news. One big thing is failure to act in Utmost Good Faith. Blades sued West Ham United when they admitted not acting in UGF re Tevezgate. Used Tort laws to claim £20m damages for relegation

An interesting aspect of the Mykhailo Mudryk deal to (other than the £62m fee [plus add ons]) is the 7.5year contact! That's a commitment to pay over in £50m wages for a still-developing player.

Lots of skied shots this tournament and a lack of free kick goals. Perhaps the roundest ball ever isn't so great?
