TeaCider24 12,398 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Messi has won a record 6th Ballon d'Or, his stats from last season were brilliant. Classy as ever, Ronaldo didn't turn up to the awards ceremony as it was clear either Messi or Van Dijk would win it. Link to post Share on other sites

Still, I don't feel its a given we will beat either Czech Rep or Croatia. We will have to play well and keep mistakes to a minimum. Any complacency and they can still do us. Finishing 2nd in the Group gives us a much easier path anyway 😉 The winner of our Group D plays 2nd place from the insane Group F of Portugal, Germany and France. The 2nd place of our group plays the 2nd place of Group E of Spain, Sweden and Poland...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 This is a really good read (in my opinion) on a club going all in on seeing the value in long term strategy, plus the use of analytics. It focuses on AZ Alkmaar, in the Dutch Eredivisie. https://soccerment.com/az-alkmaar-success-data-analytics/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HoyteForLeftBack 189 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 How come Sheff wed’s owner appears to be getting rodgered for selling the stadium to himself but it was declared ok for Derby? Not read into it but that’s how it looks on the face of it.... Link to post Share on other sites

Not read into it but that’s how it looks on the face of it.... My own interpretation is that Derby bought their own stadium, and then spent the money. Sheffield Wednesday spent the money, and then a year later bought their own stadium to try and cover up the shortfall, but recorded it as being sold the year before. Both are dodgy to me, but Sheff Wed literally tried to con the EFL by fudging the books. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I think this is it; I read it has something to do with the year they put the sale through their accounts, although I can't find the piece now. Also Derby are being looked into again so that's not necessarily over. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I don’t think Derby, Reading and Aston Villa are out of the woods yet. Think they are anxiously looking at the Wednesday case. Link to post Share on other sites
