One person per flight, no guarantee it will land (or even take-off).

Interesting response from football finance and law expert Stefan Borsen (sp?) to the bit of Tanswell’s article he quoted:

Tanswell: “Missing out on Champions League qualification is unlikely to be a major stumbling block given that, in theory at least, Chelsea should be in a better position to challenge for silverware next season and more readily able to compete in Europe’s blue-chip competition longer term than Villa.”

Borsen: “This is becoming an interesting question - is it true?

Chelsea have a similar sized stadium but can broadly generate double Villa from matchday (c£40-50m revenue difference). Plus, historically, generated double Villa commercially (c£100m revenue difference).

But Villa are addressing Matchday in a way Chelsea can't by building and how secure is Chelsea's commercial revenue vs Villa?

The gap is nowhere near as big as inferred here long term.”

Tanswell talking shit about us behind our back? While he's happy to stroke egos on all manner of Villa pods. Grrrr...

Which reminds me, how the Steve Howey the Lads do Newcastle United have their own designated BBC reporter while we still have to make do with Mashiter covering us as well as the runts from Wulfs, West Brom and the like? We merit our own mash shitter!

Since Unai came in, they've only finished above us once and we've qualified for the CL twice as many times. I get why people think of Chelsea in this way but they're an abysmally run football club and on a downward trajectory.

Without financial doping they’d still be like QPR.

Hmm Chelsea’s matchday revenue in 2024-25 was only around 20% higher than ours that year.

Looks like Karen Brady left the stinking ship of West ham when she got the heads up about Sullivan.

I’d be staggered if she only became aware of what he is two months ago.

[SamTheMouse]

Two months ago is presumably when it became clear that everyone else was going to find out what she already knew.

He's suing the BBC for libel and every other cvnt that accuses him of awful things so we should be careful.

[Dante Lavelli]

What’s in the Pandorama report?

[Chris Smith]

He's suing the BBC for libel and every other cvnt that accuses him of awful things so we should be careful.

He,’s threatening to but I reckon he’s trying to frighten them into not airing the programme or The Times publishing the story.

There have been plenty of hints on Twitter for some time.

[Somniloquism]

In a totally unrelated note. There was definitely the talk of a premier league owner being questioned about historical allegations, someone who may or may not have had the super-injunction about blocking his name lifted.
