1000% the application acceptance will only be based on one question and one question only.

Do you believe BlueCo are doing a good job?

Michael Edwards has stepped down at FSG.

We're about to get our 7th Sporting Director, aren't we?

Perhaps, with Amortisation we can fck Winstanley and Stewart off and make a book profit on the deal.

With any luck they'll want Winstanley to replace him !

Sack the hideous twins, appoint Edwards.

Sorry, if it was posted already. Daniel Finkelstein's arguing with the fanbase.

"As I hope you understand the club needs to have revenue in order to compete,"

No sh1t Sherlock but obviously not that important that you can apparently do without Shirt sponsorship deals revenue for the past few years and have made zero progress on the biggest revenue problem - stadium redevelopment.

Bloke is a massive twat.

He is a twat, but hes also right unfortunately. All clubs are now monetising everything possible due to the ffp and pss bullsh*t, another unseen negative of it is clubs now gouging it's "customers" to show a nice + on the balance.

Expect it to happen more and more.

Under RA we had Chelsea TV and was certainly something that you had to pay for.

I have subscribed to get this additional content and to be honest when I will as part of the package get access to all 5 PSF sorry I don’t see the £14.99 Pa cost that too expensive.

What you're saying is true but it just lacks credibility coming from people who literally leave money on the table by not getting a FOS for 4 seasons and spend absurd amounts of money on players who are just not worth it over and over again.

Yeah, it's just optics.

The fact they've fumbled a FOS for 4 straight years and no movement on new stadium.

I don't think a £14.99 fee for the service is too bad. What's bad is that they've hidden the new managers first interview behind it. That should be free and available for all fans worldwide.

Its a missed opportunity for the owners to have built a little goodwill between themselves and supporters, many owners that make mistakes and shoot themselves in the foot so to speak, however ours seem to shoot themselves in both feet on a regular basis.

I think it's the wrong way to do the right thing. I actually don't think we monetise social media/media nearly enough, but paywalling a manager's first interview (especially given the context) is really poor form. Given the state of things, the club's priority should be building viewership, not revenue, at this stage.

The success of platforms like Patreon proves that there is a big market for pre-release/early-release content, where subscribers get content early or in long form, before it is published to general social media and clipped for the attention-deficit. Given how much money BlueCo have invested in employing supposed experts in this field (8 senior roles in "marketing" as of last FY!) and as PE, this is their supposed area of expertise, our return on investments is disappointingly poor.

Every time these owners kick a goal, it turns out to be with a grenade

Agreed.

Far as what Finklestien said how about we stop dropping millions each year on no front of shirt sponsor for the club to make money on eh?
