I do wonder about these daft wee towns chasing the EPL dream - I know the money in the EPL is staggering, but they lost something like £55m in the season 21/22 when they got promoted from the Championship (with <10000 crowds !). Apparently they owe the owner something like £185m........................ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the fermers casually announcing that in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him a couple of times for the U19s in the UEFA Youth League, he came off the bench against Dortmund and that was when I noticed him most. He played in the middle of the park and at a time where we were sitting back and taking a lot of pressure he was one of the more involved players, winning the ball back and getting stuck in. Didn’t seem to get much of a game for Albion Rovers when he was there towards the end of the season but perhaps understandable not wanting to use a younger guy in the situation. Hopefully he kicks on and does well, he seems like a really decent laddie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sickening thing is, Hibs, Aberdeen & Hearts are all bigger clubs than Bournemouth will ever be, yet they ring up debts of eye watering proportions whilst signings players for £10m-£15m 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely think that up ahead that bubble could well and truly burst cos figures like that for teams like Bournemouth who play in a stadium half the size or ER/Pittodrie/Tynecastle and will will scrap to avoid relegation are just insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished 15th last season. Ahead of teams much, much bigger than any of the teams listed above (whatever that has to do with it). That particular bubble has no sign of bursting anytime soon. £45m is - relatively - peanuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is peanuts to the teams who operate with those sort of budgets. As for whether that bubble will ever burst or not, time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town itself is about the size of Aberdeen but the built up area around it is massive and there's not many clubs nearby- Southampton and Exeter maybe an hour each way. Makes more sense pumping money in there than some faded milltown in Lancashire or somewhere in London, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres some chat that Fish is delayed as he is still on this "man utd tour". Would be good to have him thru the door sooner rather than later, we are in competitive action in 10 days............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
