The land and buildings could only be the ground and the training centre and of these the ground is likely to have much the greater value.
But the freehold of the ground is held by the Chelsea Pitch Owners Co and it seems unlikely that the club could sell its interest in the buildings without...
This seems to have attract much negative comment. Let me elaborate and justify.
Gareth Bale was an outstanding player - one of the 10 best Spurs players I have seen (but not the best Welsh winger, that was the great Cliff Jones). I was also lucky enough to meet Gareth a few times - my employer...
Haven’t he and his partner just had their first baby?
The poor man is probably desperately short of sleep.
He’s a very talented player who’ll find his form soon.
So after winning the Bundesliga for 11 straight seasons, Bayern fail to win it in Kane’s first season.
I wonder if there’s a German word for taking a small pleasure in the misfortunes of others.
The business objective in opening the hotel will be to attract more business conferences. The stadium has the capacity to host events of all sizes but is being held back by its distance from central London. Why hold a conference at the stadium when all the attendees have to trek from and back...
I’m a season ticket holder in my 70s and so affected by the change.
People my age have been the fortunate generation. We benefited from: free university education (with a grant to cover living costs), easy access to the housing ladder, final salary pension schemes, and much more. Not all of...
The data analysis is used to identify and screen players who are then watched by scouts. The aim is two fold: to consider a wider pool of potential new signings than could be done if the initial screening was done by scouts; and to then have scouts spend more time watching those players...
Outstanding yet again against Villa. He’s been the biggest surprise this season: last year I thought he was good going forward but couldn’t defend. Delighted to have proved once again that I know very little about football.
It’s going to be hard for him when he realises that so far as the Chelsea owners are concerned he’s not so much a Chelsea born and bred player who loves the club as an asset that can, and must, be sold at a profit.
Northumberland Park is one of the most deprived wards in the country and events at the stadium bring a lot of money into the local economy. A smart council would approve the bid subject to commitments from Spurs to increase (from the current target of 20%) the proportion of people working at the...
Quite right.
And Chelsea will have pretty much exactly the same financial problems next financial year/season and will still need to make sales. Having players on long term contracts locks in the amortisation and wage costs.
People still chant “We are shelf-side” at the new ground, getting on for 40 years after the Shelf closed. As one of the few remaining supporters to have stood there, I can say that the Shelf was great and very intimidating for away teams but the new South Stand is better - better view, better...
Over the weekend I watched the Wigan v Penrith Rugby League World Club Challenge and the Scotland v England Rugby Union International.
The rugby league game was faster, more intense, with more skill and fewer mistakes and the rules were intelligible.
I played Union and used to prefer it to...
