Well as usual we spent f.a.
Don’t get me wrong, the loan signings could make a difference, but over the last 11 seasons our net spend p.a. is £4.5m. Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see the problem do you?
Where has all the money gone, TV rights, parachute payments, advertising (don’t get me started on that one), gate receipts etc etc? Ashleyout.com has some interesting stats on the loans in and out piece, funnily enough the debt seems to have been paid, but we still owe the fat man it.
Clever accounting. Glad to see we’re top of the league in something.
P.s. I met someone a while ago who as well as being high up in football until relative recently has met the fat man on a number of occasions. His view? Very, very sharp cookie and he doesn't like football. Maybe not such a surprise.

We may know the same chap - wasn't originally from 'Boro way was he? If so, he's a good mate of mine - and says much the same thing.ellroy said:
Good result for you today.What's your take on that article Mr Ellroy?
Firstly, bloody hell where did that come from?
New lad between the sticks looks very good indeed and Shelvey was superb, absolutely superb.
As to the article Ray, as I said very good I think and, I suspect, more than a grain of truth. I’ve said for some time I’m not 100% sure about Staveley. The figures that she’s supposed to command seem fanciful to me. I’ve always thought it more likely that she was the front, so to speak, of person(s) unknown.
Time will tell, a few more days like today, and the announcement of the TV deal next week may flush out the real bidders, if any.
Meanwhile, a great and needed result.
P.s. Ray, decent away point for your shower.

Further to Shelvey, what a belter he had. Let’s hope he can keep this standard up, because this is what he can do:
