I can’t think of another modern business basically being run almost entirely by “Daniel and Bex handle that” and feel I spent enough decades in fintech to know investors would be put off by it. The other big clubs have been sold off against oligarchs’ wishes, along with little clubs like Bournemouth

It wasn’t a corporation ready for anyone else to run yet, as they, and us, have learned

We disagree. I believe Levy was a fly in their ointment and they felt they could get their valuation after pushing him out and modernizing the way the club operates in a way that is far more attractive in a pitch deck. They have done all of the things consultancies recommended as poorly as possible.

heh, my pop was Rangers and his one rule for me after high school was not joining any part of the military; I can’t even imagine it for parents today

UAE and Kuwait Start Oil Output Cuts After Hormuz Blockage The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait started reducing oil production, as the near-closure of the crucial Strait of Hormuz ripples through energy markets and affects global supply.

"We figured oil prices would go up, which they will […] They’ll also come down. They’ll come down very fast. And we will have gotten rid of a major, major cancer on the face of the Earth."

We shall see, I reckon they hoped to cut bait after this season with “best in class” guys like VV in their powerpoint decks. They just cut bait after the media revenues have plateaued as they have and the on pitch product has become less attractive to viewers. If a state offers a lump up front…welp.

Well, that’s a different kettle of fish, and it might be Staveley’s people.

I have zero faith in those running the club to manage that well and am curious to see how many of the Bergvall and Gray types have things in their contracts to make their exits easier than we’d hope. I also don’t think they are that much better now than Winks or Skipp are, and we see how that’s gone

Agreed, before CG he was supposedly our biggest spend for wages, related transfer and agent fees.

I’m not catastrophizing about what happens when we go down, but just don’t think we’ll have a squad to come right back up. That’s awful for many folks who work in the sphere of the club but just is.

yeah, possibly, but his wages will make that difficult and I doubt we’ll come back up very quickly too

transfermarkt tends to undervalue yes but many of our guys were already questionable and that was why we got them. I do hope you are closer to the truth than I am. I doubt we will get half of what we paid for Xavi and his Steven Bergwijn entourage no one else wanted to fuck with though, for instance

all of those values are halved when we go down and many of these guys were passed on (mostly for character or injury risk flags) before we bought them for legitimate reasons. i’m not expecting us to do well in the majority of these sales.

hahahaha, the Vuskovic fallacy! Neither of those things are being agreed to by three parties

Ashley also doubled the wage bill to get them back up. Do you seriously think Viv will?

he doesn’t deserve to follow us down, but also yes

I feel like we underestimate how many of these players will need to go to keep the debtors paid and how many of the rest are League Two level like Dorrington. It's grim!

Seriously, we should never kid yourselves, Morgan and Vanderbilt did fuck all. It's just white men handing money back and forth to each other until they immolate this planet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvAi...

I know some of you might read this and say "these people can't be stupid! These people run companies! They make huge deals! They read all these books!" and my answer is that some of the stupidest people I've ever met have read more books than you or I will read in a lifetime. While they might be smart when it comes to corporate chess moves or saying "this product category should do this," none of these men - not Altman, Pichai or Nadella - actually has a hand in the design or creation of any of the things their companies make, and they never, ever have. Regardless, I have a larger point: it's time to start mocking these people and tearing down their legends as geniuses of industry. They are not better than us, nor are they responsible for anything that their companies build other than the share price (which is a meaningless figure) and the accumulation of power and resources. These men are neither smart nor intellectually superior, and it's time to start treating them as such.

I also recommend if possible to find whatever humor you can. Make fun of these people. Lampooning them doesn’t discount the seriousness of their actions or the destruction of their works - it undermines their power and status and names, and lightens the soul

Does this guy work for the same Blackboard that has been ripping off higher ed for two decades? Anyone in the edu sector can tell you that you won't efficiently learn how any form of consciousness works from their suite of hilariously poorly designed applications.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
