Poynton ram

With so much talk about investment and the depth of DCs pockets I question whether the club maximise the commercial opportunities at PP. Other clubs seem to hold concerts and not just at stadiums like the Etihaad, Old Trafford. I am sure the Killers played Bolton. No idea if the clubs make much money from these events and clearly the pitch may suffer but can’t recall much happening at PP. With all the nearby parking and the vicinity of the station I would have thought PP would be a decent venue. Maybe the club have tried to attract promoters but no interest or couldn’t get the numbers to work?

Budapest

Back on the 11th March there was a suggestion Collo  was 3 weeks away from being available. Any updates? If on track could he make Pompey away? 

Great atmosphere today and loved the flags including the Dave Mackay one. Would be great if those extra walk ups would return for the remaining home fixtures. Will they?

For accounting purposes, the players "value" is what you've cost to acquire him (transfer fees, agents fees etc) amortised (i.e. spread out) over the length of his contract.  Cashin will be valued at near £0m in the accounts because we've not really paid anything to get him.  The same with Bird, and any other player who has come through our academy.  The £2m is basically the remainder of Bielik's contract, plus a few other bits and bobs.

Ah ok, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying

Trying to get my head around player valuations within intangibles. Are the accounts saying the whole squad is only worth @ £2m after allowing for payments due on certain players? I know our valuation of players was one of the things that got us into a mess but that figure seems low particularly in the context of Cashin’s “value” and what fee we have received for Bird. Or perhaps I am misunderstanding the numbers

Any whispers about his intentions end of season and a new contract? 

Listening to Bradley’s post match interview he said something about Collins. Back sooner than expected?

Just watched the highlights, great finishes for all the Derby goals

Am trying to think back to what the football was like under Phil Brown and how it compares to now. Fairly certain it was tripe and do remember the fans really having a go at Brown and he left shortly afterwards. I know it was different divisions and all that but am sure it was worse then. 

I have seen it mentioned by several people that insurance can be taken out to cover a player’s salary if he is off with an injury. Anyone know how it works and what the premium would be. Take JJ, with his history of injuries is he uninsurable or is the premium that steep that the club wouldn’t pay it? With our long list of injuries we clearly don’t have any no claims discount and I would imagine any premiums would be significant. Bored at work hence the question

Why is everyone suggesting we play SB as striker if Collo can’t play? I know he is tall but he isnt the quickest and not seen much attacking flair when he’s up for corners. That said Wanchope wasn’t the quickest from memory and was so unpredictable. Go on then, Sonny to lead the line

I too have warmed to him and boy does he run his socks off. When he went down clutching his knee and players were gesturing to the bench I thought he was done for. But he dusted himself down and made a Lazarus like recovery and was even sprinting around like a man possessed in the 95th minute. Strikes me just like Cash and Nelson and now Adams he’s one that will get stuck in. Is he out of contract in the summer?

When we went down injured last night I really did fear the worst. Am assuming he must be ok as PW never took him off and he seemed to be ok running around. Any news?

What’s happened to the betting kiosk in the west stand upper concourse? As long as I can remember there has always been a bookmaker there. Have all the kiosks disappeared? Always seemed busy but maybe with online betting demand doesn’t justify the cost of paying someone to run it. 

Wildsmith signed a new contract? 😉

Perhaps a little early but any news on his injury?

Everton Spurs on TNT/EE/BT

Behind the Everton dugout, is the man sitting next to Jules wearing a Rams bobble hat?

No, it's not Warne.

Yep, saw him too, think he’s on the BT sports pay roll

No surprise CBT is injured?

Just watching Everton Spurs and the camera cut away to Dyche and one of the BT sports crew sat behind him with headphones on is sporting a Derby hat. Tried to send a pic but file is too big. Good lad 

Just had a quick mooch on the Brizzle website. Over 20 pics of Max in various poses in different club kit. Bet that took ages. If he is knackered for Charlton I hope we send a bill to Ashton Gate

Would Cash get the same abuse if he had signed for Brighton and been loaned back? Admittedly higher fee but suspect not
