    My guesses would be Buchanan and Bielik.

    It’ll be Byrne and Buchanen. 
     

    so that article is staying that any player at any club that changes ownership can walk away mid contract? 

    they would have to pay up the remaining time on their contract/notice period.

    Completely disagree. Do you know how the BBC operates? It isnt mostly funded from the licence fee - it is entirely funded by the lucence fee. It isn't a commercial station. These local radio stations will be funded by the BBC regardless of anything Ed Dawes says. They aren't competing with each other for funding...

    He may have reported it to stroke his own ego, but again that has nothing to do with the funding of the station.

    Not entirely true. It makes shitloads of money from selling programmes overseas.

    So if CK had decided to transfer £20 million from the US to a savings account with the Derbyshire building society, this wouldn’t count as a transaction? It is only checked when a commercial deal occurs?

    A transaction is a transaction. It would still likely to have been flagged for investigation. 
     

    I once had a transaction of £600 stopped by HSBC while they checked it wasn’t fraud! And that was a right ball ache to sort out.

    I’d risk it all to get the black socks back.

    There’s two schools of thought when it comes to changing the home kit:

    The delusional Navy shorts, Red numbers crowd that gather around in their care home posting nonsense, actively rooting for Derby kits to look awful…

    And then there’s the black socks hive. The brave few who know the only way for the clubs fortunes to be turned back around is to have those sleek black socks return. Make Derby kits sexy again.

    As far as I’m concerned if you don’t want black socks you’re a heretic.

    I’ve always associated black socks with poor results

    Interesting - could it be that Clowes/the mystery buyer has done it via a Dragon's Den type investment/stake in 9CK Sport Holding?

    CK always seemed to suggest he didn't have the extra £20m in liquid assets to buy the stadium as well as the club itself, so it seems odd that he'd suddenly find the cash himself 

    That’s where my heads at. I think some one has invested in the 9ck company to give them extra to bring the stadium back to the club

    The higher average throw in per game is not exactly significant. Unless I missed it, the stats also don’t say whereabouts the throw in are happening. Unless they’re in an attacking position then they’re unlikely to have much of an impact on the outcome of the game.

    Having a player with a long throw in their armoury is always handy but I don’t think these stats necessarily suggest they’re more useful in L1 than the Championship. 
     

     

    The higher number of throw ins is down to the lack of quality in the passing. Lower pass accuracy on the wings = more throw ins

    I actually know one of the Molson Coors 'Brand Development Managers', or whatever they're called, who worked on Madri's promotion.

    Before it blew up, he said that that we would soon be seeing it everywhere. I had never even heard of it at the time.

    I get the impression that they've just poured a ton of money into it, and prioritised more modern influencer/social media-driven campaigns.

    Not put that much money behind it so far. But heavily used social media. 
    It exceeded all expectations even before the marketing campaign began, despite Lockdown getting in the way. 
     

    people love a balanced drink that reminds them of holidays abroad.

    By paying over 3 years, it gives the opportunity to generate and use club funding rather than his own.

    if his business plan is to spend £60million over the next 2 years for example, then given the expenditure needed to get the squads back into some sort of shape then it makes no sense to consume £25mil of that pot straight away. It is better to spend only £11mil paying off debt in each of years 1 and 2.

    The biggest outlays are right now. Paying the debts and rebuilding the squads. The more that its consumed now paying off the debts means there is less available to invest in the squads. Invest the money in the right players and we get promoted leading to an increase in revenue and likelihood of being able to sell some of the players who got us promoted but aren't championship standard at a profit. Both revenue streams helping to mitigate the extra 10% of debt that needs to be paid.

    Buddy, if you believe that crypto markets, or any other for that matter, only move one way, I'd suggest they are not for you. The friend I allude to in my original post lost half his initial investment in Cardano inside 4 months. He held his nerve and retired last week. He's 41 years old. Crypto is as volatile an investment as you could wish for so if the swings and dips are off-putting, find something blue chip instead. I believe Cardano will comfortably clear $30.00 in time and that's the reason I've put it up as one for folk to research with a view to investment.

    Anyway, this is pretty much why I was reticent to post in this thread so I'll leave it there and not post further.

    How’s Cardano working out for you?

    and NFT’s for that matter?
