Oh, and if The Warehouse sale goes through successfully, should we be buying up more local real estate and doing it up? I hope so.
It would make sense to buy the Aston hotel on the island near Tesco . Wonderful historic building and great location

Full HMO i am afraid - so not for sale

There’s a full HMO by me that’s not long been sold.

Looks like we've resolved PSR/FFP for 2024-25, but I wouldn't be surprised if it rears its head again next Easter.

Turning to Squad Cost Ratio rules, we've got to get wages below 70,% of revenue next season.

We could make a start by shifting out:

Ned
KKH
Moreno
Donck
Emi B
Leon Bailey
Coutinho
Dibu
Kortney Hause
Louie Barry

I know some have or are just about to leave, but only one was a first team regular last season.

Moving them on shouldn't weaken us very much (assuming we sign decent replacements for Bailey and Dibu) and it would also free up headroom n the wage bill and create room in the squad for newcomers/promotees from U21 and U19 ranks, as well as bringing in transfer fees to help with PSR.

Simon Jordan talking sense on the ridiculousness of the PSR rules and why they were introduced

I don’t think Jim White understood any of that, he certainly didn’t appear to be listening.

Olsen and Donck and to a lesser extent Phil - were a real issue - big wages - no resell and no real contribution (Phil had a handful of good games).  Its so important lock in big wages with no resell like those.

There seems to be people who can facilitate it:

I too have no iidea who they are, but the announcement on their own website and accompanying video is better than I have ever seen for any sponsor.

What’s the difference. The leader at the top of that page says be prepared to lose all your money.

The voluntary ban I suppose, and yeah, that’s about all.

Investing in anything is a gamble by that measure.

Yep, a giant Ponzi scheme with no underlying asset on which to base confidence eg a central bank or business producing income. Once people lose faith in the scheme the whole thing will collapse as everyone tries to get their money out.
