    Well we win tomoz we move up the table and could end up a dozen points from drop zone

    Lots of debate about Victor Orta and the young players hes brought to the club since 2017, and in my view he hasnt done too bad. If you look at Tyler Roberts where we spent £3m, we know we can sell him at a profit. On the other end there are players like Poveda who were free who will also produce a hefty profit.

    There are some young players we have spent cash on who we don't know what will happen yet, but the profit and loss sheet looks healthy so far though, in my humble opinion

    Profit
    Roberts
    Idaguchi
    Halme
    Struijk
    Davies
    Meslier
    McKinstry
    McCarron
    Caprile
    Poveda
    Gelhardt
    Allen
    Drameh
    Van Den Hueval
    Greenwood
    Summerville
    Miller
    Hjelde
    Bate
    McGurk
    Bogusz

    Loss
    Grot

    Break Even
    Dalby
    Stevens

    As we are dealing with the Red Bull Football Group its worth remembering we are fighting them in the court of Sports Arbitration in March. Depending on the outcome we may also be fighting them in legal courts too. Red Bull own some of the best football clubs in Germany, USA, Austria and Brazil and at the heart of everything they do is about the brand and if they can promote the brand and make money brilliant. Red Bull Saltzburg make plenty of cash from buying young players with potential and selling them on at huge profits. They have done this with Haaland, Szobozlai, Hwang and Patson Daaka to name just 4. They are obviously playing hardball for Aaronson so fingers crossed.

    Have a great weekend

    Just done some checking and it seems Bogusz is now worth £1.5m so way over a million profit if we sell now. Edited the above post

    It's not really all profit though.

    It costs the club to train them, then wages.

    We'll be 20m worse off in March when we're paid to pay for JKA.

    Matt you do talk bollox at times mate. No way will we be liable for big Kev. Yes we may bet stung for some of it but I hear Leeds will go legal if they dont like the outcome and FIFA and Leipzig will not like what happens next.

    You also need to have a think about what you said about profits for the kids too. Heres a clue Struijk £0 sale price £20m, Joffy £1.5m sale price now £15m next season £30m season after maybe £60m…

    According to Sky Aaronson has said he wants to join Leeds but RBS are refusing even though Leeds have now bid £20m. We shall see

    Also the club have done well out of Bogusz. He played his part in building up the success of the youth teams which helped us attract better players to come to the academy.

    Massive match just about to KO.

    Surprised so many have written Norwich off as a win tonight will see them out of the bottom 3.

    Draw the best result for us <ok>

    I was laughed at when I said the 1-2 win at Norwich was a great win and that they would pick up more points than Derby did.

    HT 0-0

    Norwich started well but Watford gradually took hold of the match and are now dominating possession without troubling the goalkeeper.

    All to play for 2nd half though as a draw doesn't really suit either side.

    1-0 Norwich.

    Started the 2nd half on the front foot again and it paid off.

    3-0 Norwich now.

    Most on here won't like it but Dean Smith is a decent manager, it's taken him a little while to get the Canaries organised but they are now a totally different proposition.

    Daily Mail say things looking better in Austria as its been almost 48hrs since Orta offered £20m and RBS have yet to answer, which means they are thinking about it or would have knocked it back by now. Aaronson says he wants play for Leeds so his next move if RBS say no, is to request a transfer formally…..but as usual everything revolves around cash

    Thanks for that, feeling much better now.

    Probably need to stop off and see Wakey on the way to the match just to make sure though.
