    General/Non-Spurs Transfers

    the way the sell-on works is that you get X% of the difference between what you paid and what you're selling for (the profit). so it's 30% of £7m.

    Mourinho accuses Chelsea’s rivals of ‘buying’ the Premier League title

    no it's not. mourinho's net spending is probably close to that 90m while roger's net is anywhere near 135m. if a club spends 150m on incoming transfers but sells 150m worth of talent. you can't use the expenditures to beat the manager over the head with that club is going to get worse or at...

    Nigel Pearson sacked

    i think it might just be a wording confusion. the way i understand it when he says "I have kids and there is a line that they dont cross", he has a line they better not cross. not that they are so well behaved that they don't make bad decisions repeatedly (as evidence by his next post). you're...

    i find it hard to laugh at a club that is robbing taxpayers blind. more like they are laughing at the taxpayers. god damn scum. say what you want about arsenal, they paid for their stadium with their own money. what a life to be a 1% moocher.

    Nigel Pearson sacked

    i would ask if you were joking about that even if he was a mass murderer bit, but then again parents of mass murderers don't come out unscathed either so i guess it would be best for you all to stick together. anyway, have a son who racist towards thais when your boss is a thai. that won't end...

    'Rooney rule'

    the rooney rule doesn't force teams to hire minority coaches. you just have to interview one. the goal behind it was to expose people to the process and get their name out there and then maybe someone would eventually hire them after hearing their name repeatedly. nfl owners are a tight bunch...

    Are Arsenal slipping?

    they subtracted from chelsea and negelcted to add, but added to arsenal, but neglected to subtract the wages of those that left. doesn't matter, all will be revealed when chelsea releases their annual reports. also if arsenal's wage bill is what it is then it's the 4th highest (chelsea's will...

    Manchester United and Adidas in £750m deal over 10 years

    30m per for 5 years. the deal they had with nike was a base + profit sharing. last year the base was like 25.4m and they got an additional 12.6m from the profit sharing. so basically they aren't going from like 20m with nike to 75m with adidas, more like 40m to 75m.

    Loew's post match interview and England.

    funny thing is fabian johnson (bottom right corner) who switched to the USA was more than good enough to be their LB this world cup. i bet he's kicking himself right now for not keeping the faith.

    Manchester United and Adidas in £750m deal over 10 years

    just to point out a small, but important detail. manchester united turned everything over to Adidas, retail, all that. before they shared that with nike. and real madrid, barca, arsenal, chelsea, etc run their own retailing operations to supplement that kit income.
