    There was a game Saturday morning going on when I wandered past and got the train about 11:00. Looked about that age as well.

    The Premier League team used to train on the uni pitches at Thornbury near the barracks. Used to play headers and volleys on one of the spare nets when I should have been at college.

    I suggest you re-do your sums based on 15% of the profit Swansea have made from the £500k it cost them to buy McBurnie from us and selling him to the Blades for £19.87m (since you're quoting Twitter) and see what number you calculate! ;)

    So around 2.9 million I get. Think the guy from athletic has done some dodgy sums. But even so. Point still stands as I said. 2.9 million is a lot of money

    Has Sutcliffe moved from the YP or is this another outlet of his?

    If Sutcliffe is quoting something City-related, I'd tend to believe it since as you say, he is JR's go-to journo.

    ps And nothing to do with him being a friend and former colleague of my ex b-i-l!

    Think it started in America originally. They took a lot of top journalists when they started it in the UK and you have to pay to access it’s articles.
    They do a lot of stories and are quite reliable. But more prem focussed really

    Yeah they tend to hire top inside journalists heavily connected with the club.

    A mouth piece for the CEO's, owners.

    No more than the majority of football clubs I’d imagine, most make a loss.

    You’ve missed the last bit off. Swansea received £10m up front with another £7m due this summer so that’s another £1m in the summer in addition to the £400,000 for Sheffield United staying up ! 4EF2CB30-3A36-47A1-8097-B1A6483892FB.jpeg

    I would be pleasantly surprised if this happened after 14 years of publishing the absolute minimum. Who in particular said this and in what context?

    Thanks for that and that's good to hear.

    I genuinely hope the Director of Communications is true to his word. We should know shortly whether this is true or not since the absolute final deadline for the publishing of the club's accounts is in about 6 weeks.

    I might comment that the club has had about 6 months in which to publish the accounts (even after allowing for about 3 months to prepare the accounts) and that if the club really did want to be more open about its financial affairs with its fans, for example, it really could have done so many months ago.

    Perhaps the question needs to be put to Alan Biggin?
