Made them all pay up and renew in full in the knowledge no fans would be in grounds until October at the earliest and even then, with a vastly reduced capacity.  They reckon they got 30,500 season ticket holders paying up via renewals and new applications.

 

They're then going to refund fans in 3 tranches, November, February and June 2021! Cheeky bastards!

My brother is one of them and I'm sure he said the season ticket sales had risen to 40k , nice little wedge sitting in their bank account earning a few quid , can you imagine if it was the other way round the likes of Davek and St Domingo would be apoplectic.

Think his Mum is black and his Dad is white. He told a story ages ago about his Dad beating up some fella on holiday after he called the Mum the N word.

Genuinely didn't realise! He's a twat and he looks like a prick for posing with that flag, but whoever is giving shit about his brother being gay needs a slap!

I think their 1st round of renewals actually went through before lockdown it was that long ago, but they can renew for about 450 quid back then.

 

I do know they have a waiting list now, but I'm pretty sure they haven't got 40k because that would be against PL rules on selling more STs than the stadium capacity, those fucking pesky RS powers that be!

 

I think there's an actual real rule at a maximum around 75% of the home capacity. Considering their capacity is already less than 40k and they give 3k to away fans, I'm guessing (I admit it's a wild guess), they dont have 40k seasies. A more accurate figure is probably about 30k. Lid.

Wouldn’t take that too seriously. She’s just a kid having what she sees as a bit of a laugh. Pepper Mills is a character she’s created. Her name is Hannah Swain. And it won’t surprise you to learn she lives in Flint in North Wales!

She probably gets more clicks from reeled in reds than blues

Player Valuation: £70m
Suppose its the same argument as James Rodriguez, when you have the opportunity to bring in class try to do it. But 200k a week when he is 33, is the trap Barca sleepwalked into

Yes I mean there is that. There's a few differences. I mean however good a player Thiago is, you wouldnt really put him into the same category as James, who is a cut above (which is meant as no disrespect to Thiago, but there are levels in football).

You'd also say, we are signing lads of that age because it's consistent with the manager we have and as a sign of weakness. They are- at least on the outside of it buying from a position of strength. So it's interesting they've gone down this route. You'd also have to factor that their squad is an ageing one already (top 6 for the oldest squads last season) and they don't have many in that 21-25 band coming through but lots in the 26-30 area (Alisson, VVD, Robertson, Matip, Salah, Henderson, Mane, Firmino, Wijnaldum, Fabinho etc, I'm sure I've missed a few!). He seems to add to it rather than take away from it.

You always know they pay big bonuses too. The delcared salary is often half what their salary comes too with bonuses, sometimes more so. You don't blow Chelsea and Manchetser City out of the water on wages if you're top player is only on 200k p/w. They incentivise them. In fairness it's a smart business staregy that has worked well for them. However expect Thiago's real wages with bonuses to be 400k p/w, which as you say is huge for a lad going well into his 30's, expected to play under a Klopp system in the PL.

He has to be a red on a wind up, surely?

James above Thiago? On what planet. In the past 10 years Thiago has won more trophies than Everton have in their entire history.
