Still awful, but it's worth pointing out.
That was shocking, but they got away with it.
Bottom line is wages have to decrease, they are massively above turnover, and we are using loans to support the gap between income and costs, whilst incurring losses. Anything "homegrown" is prime for sale. That's why O'shea went, they wanted to sell Palmer (until CC said no), Griffiths was touted around, a deal has been agreed for Gardiner Hickman. They all generate FFP and real profit/cashflow.
We now have a new homegrown player that is attracting significant attention. You don't have to be Einstein to work it out. Even Fenton Heard could go, in a Morgan Rogers kind of way.
Maybe they included our academy as part of the expenses? It seemed like they treated it as theirs...

In 68 on the morning of the Cup Final I looked out into the garden to see a Song Thrush pulling worms out the lawn. A sign from heaven.
Not for the worms it wasn't.

Or is it this Shilen Patel? https://longmeadcapital.com/about-us/
The American Patel has some serious familial wealth: https://stpetecatalyst.com/building-an-e...al-impact/
"“This comes from our culture and family values – you can’t be afraid of messy things,” Shilen said, which prompted a roomful of applause. “You look at the businesses [Kiran was involved in] and it wasn’t a story of ‘let’s go put $50 million behind it and buy pristine assets.’ Each time, it was taking something people were running away from and having a plan to turn it into something.”
Welcome Shilen.
Would rather talk to ChatGPT

My goal is to own a soccer team,” he says. “I’ve made a few attempts, but I’m not there yet.”

A Zambian Indian American, how much added complexity does that bring tot eh case! And now those claiming three parties can say it was really this chap. Actually has there ever been a more mixed bag f types in one go since FF's last set of personas?
Also, why do Yanks do everything they can to simply not just be American?
Or have you guys got the wrong Shilen Patel and it's this chap instead??

Calls it soccer, he can fugg off.
From the super rich to someone who reminds me of Lai... that'd be right.

As long as I get a scarf and a pint, I'm sure he'll be OK.
