The Football News Thread 2017/18 - everything not Wolves

Looks like Hoddle owes the tax man a few bob as well.
 
Can't we just lend them the "You've let us down again" banner?

Filling this year's Panini World Cup sticker book costs £773.60, twice the cost for Euro 2016, according to maths expert Prof Paul Harper.

The pages contain 32 squads of players, plus managers, stadiums and World Cup legends, totalling 682 stickers.

A pack of five stickers has risen from 50p to 80p - a 60% increase.

If you buy 137 packets and never get the same sticker twice, it will cost £109.60, but this is "extremely unlikely", says the professor.

Prof Harper, from Cardiff University's School of Mathematics, worked out a formula to include the least probable number of duplicate stickers.

In the end, he demonstrated that on average you would need to buy 4,832 stickers - or 967 packets - to complete the Italian-made book.

One cost-saving measure is swapping stickers between friends, but even with that tactic, filling the album would be expensive.

With 10 friends swapping, it could still cost them an average of £247 each to complete the album, according to the professor's calculations.

In 2016, he made the same calculations for the 680-space Euro sticker book. It was £374, meaning the cost has more than doubled.

There's always ways to get big multiples of packs. It isn't all about bunging 10 packs in the basket every time I go to Morrisons (although I guarantee that will happen too)
 
Can remember sending orders for the last 50 stickers to our house, and grandparents, and aunties/uncles, and anyone else I could rope in!
 
Burnley announce £22.2m profit for 2016/17 season

Wage bill rises from £38m to £61m. Wage bill no longer the lowest in the Premier League, according to chairman Mike Garlick. Wage bill was £32m higher than 2014/15 Premier League season.
 
And that is not a shock. As far as I can see it EVERYONE in the top flight is allowed a wage bill in the sixty million range. And then that bill can rise by a further £7m a season. If you want to go beyond that you must demonstrate increased revenue.

So everybody below the big boys is going to be as near to that limit as they can possibly get in order to stay competitive

The whole thing seems arse about face to me.
 
Good, that will be one less thing to be embarrassed about.
