Alex Whybrow raises an approving eyebrow at Villa’s recent dealings.

Excellent
This.

A good article, I particularly agree with this:
I don’t want to know what amortisation means. I don’t want to care how many hospitality packages we’ve sold for Bournemouth at home. I don’t want to look at the squad photo for the new season and try to work out which of those players are saleable assets. When a youth player makes his debut, I don’t want my first thought to be “Oooh, we could get £8 million for him in the summer”.

Great article.
Spot on.

Quite!

Spot the fuck on!

Superb

Er, calm down. I didn't write it.

Brilliant article!

Spot on article. And in terms of scrutiny from other clubs and journalists.......
FTF.

It is very good though. We have more insight to how a football club is run these days. 40 years ago you might have known the name of our chairman but nobody else’s. Now we know not only the chairman/CEO the owners, the Opps manager, in fact every aspect of the club. It’s only right that we know about amortisation as much as we need to know who our pen taker is going to be.

Spot on.

Done.

We know that Dave, he used a spell check. What’s with the allergy?!

Spot on.
Hmmm.

Only thing I'd add is that it is 31 of the last 33 domestic trophies that have been won by five clubs (the scab six apart from Spurs). The other two were won by Leicester.
-
Would 6 clubs winning the last 33 trophies be much different in the other big leagues, though? I don't know the answer to this, I just know with the league titles you don't exactly get much variation in Spain, France, or Germany.

I suppose another question is whether you used to.
I genuinely don't know the answer to that for foreign leagues, but I do know that if you look at FA Cup and League Cup winners particularly, there was a decent variety - until the money from the PL really started rolling in around the turn of the millennium.
There's a bit of a false narrative (Tom Fox, was it?) perpetuated by fans of those clubs and the media that the same handful of clubs have dominated English football since time immemorial, and can reasonably be expected to do so in perpetuity. Like the Old Firm or something.
But it's just not true. Not until relatively recently.

BREAKING PREMIER LEAGUE RULES NEWS: The new post APT Tribunal PL Rules are out following FA Board approval.
Been asked for a dumbed down version. In simple terms the PL rules on APTs go back to those from before February 2024 and various extra rules are included so that shareholder loans (any loan from a direct or indirect 5%+ shareholder) now has to carry a fair market interest rate and cost.
