http://www.squawka.com/en/news/watf...-the-premier-leagues-answer-to-monaco/1064331 Good article online from a 'journalist' who has actually noticed what we are trying to seemingly build rather than just put us down as a merry-go-round of players.... Must admit, it whet the appetite a bit to think if these players realise their potential at the club at the same time, we could see something a bit special...
Looking forward to seeing Hamilton Vettel and the rest screaming round Exchange Road before disappearing into the Radlett Road tunnel.
No more insisting on ‘cash only’ payments, now I’ll legally be able to get away with not paying income tax.
That stretch of Grand Union Canal will be like a billionaires playground. With little Hollywood up the road in Leavesden. They’ll be Michelin star restaurants full of the rich and famous, tuxedo clad spies in casinos, then off to Diamonds and Strings gentleman’s club. I’d better spruce up my one bedroom flat, it’ll be worth a couple-a million at least.
Then you didn't get to the bit where they mentioned Dodi Lukebakio. I thought he died in a Mercedes crashed into a Paris underpass.
To be fair, if you look at the Watford image through slightly squinty eyes (that is the first one), and imagine it was taken from the other side, there isn't that much difference.
Does this mean that we will be applying to play in Ligue 1? Will that mean that we can get round any immigration laws imposed on players from the EU? Watford find yet another loophole!!!! screams the S*n.
According to the latest "Top 50 Brand Value Football Clubs" we have risen to 33rd in Europe (up from 46th last year) That puts us top 10 in Germany, top 5 in Spain, Holland & France.. and just outside in Italy. Mind you we are also worth less than Palace, Burnley and Bournemouth according to the figures! I know this is just a ranking in monetary terms but it's hard to rank football clubs in other ways and these days it's all about the money anyway is it not.
These tables are more a test of how good the algorithm is than the truth but are always thought provoking. Fascinating that the Geordies (The Best Supporters in the Country TM) rank 22nd in the table & 20th in the Prem. Also, in a game of football, my instinct is for Seville to beat Udders. Maybe prowess in tug of war is included & swings it for the Yorkies. From this perspective of Brand Value, regular Prem mid table survival outweighs regular campaigns in Europe. Does Gino concur?
We are still below Swansea.... And just how do West Ham rate 17th? All the money they have wasted on awful transfers??
Lady Brady said they made £45m profit last year & that they were very well run. I imagine the Dildo triplets get a handsome deal for the stadium from the owners. It depends what they mean by Brand Value. Certainly the Pozzos have already made an excellent return on their way investment provided that we don’t get relegated & don’t bounce back.
