LFCTV accidentally release news that Suarez has signed a new long term contract with the club.

€50million Juve. If Sao Paolo ask €35million for Moura then Suarez is worth more to us.

Also this is official news. It was just accidentally released early.

 

[Vivalaraza]

The shares are pretty worthless right?

Well, I dunno. Not worthless...there is a value attached to them, especially now if the entire offer has been taken up. Just I can't see anybody making a profit from them any time soon. No dividend/voting rights means the only gain is in reselling the shares at a latter date.

I personally can't see anybody buying the club for a value above £2bn...but obv. I could be wrong. I was totally wrong about people taking an interest in the IPO.

Like I mentioned before, the Dodgers (baseball) were bought for $2 billion. They're not even close to being as valuable as United are. Someone would buy.

I don't really know anything about the LA Dodgers sale but a value of £2bn for MUFC is 20x EBITDA, generally the rule is to value a company at 10x. Of course MUFC still has potential for growth and is a really unique brand itself, but it's a really really high valuation.

But like players I guess it's worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it. Don't see the Glazer's selling anytime soon now anyway.

Someone's getting fired at LFCtv. But I don't care! New contract for Suarez!

They will get RVP seen as United don't do Agent Fees

I don't know why people still think the Glazer's will do something for the good of the club.

Maybe i'm too cynical but I struggle to find anything good that they've done over the last 7 years.

Why would they start now?

This ensures that if they ever do sell up they will ask for £2bn. Lame.

Ticket prices during the Glazer ownership haven't grown anywhere near as much as they did when the club was listed, commercial revenue is a lot higher.

 

[Carbonox]

Douglas (FC Twente) is my next door neighbour, beat that! =P

Ask him why he's not moving to Newcastle pls.

 

[Kyoufu]

Ask him why he's not moving to Newcastle pls.

Douglas: "I don't speak French"

 

[confuziz]

Ask him why he's not moving to Newcastle pls.

He said to me he's waiting for the 15th of august before announcing whether he's going to stay or not (on that day he officially becomes eglible for the dutch national team).

Edit : By the way. The way he acts makes me believe he's going to stay one more year.

I met Steve Irwin

I met Monica Bellucci. You all failed.

50% rise in ticket prices since they took over. The prices are still generally fair when compared across the league but I don't think the pricing policy has been "good" or in the interest of supporters.

Commercial revenue has increased plenty, no doubt, gotta hand it to them they've increase the coffers massively. But we haven't seen any of the money...so it's a moot point in terms of actually benefiting the club.

Broadcast rights are different in the US than they are for Premier League teams. KidA Seven is failing to mention that the Dodgers are expected to sign a TV deal worth as much as $4 billion. This is money that is directly to the club and not the shared revenue that United (and the other PL clubs) get at the end of the season -- there is additional shared revenue that the MLB provides to all the teams in the league on top of their own rights they can sell. The Dodgers are probably the top 5-10 most storied franchises in American sport... right there with the Yankees, Red Sox, Lakers and Celtics. This new deal is expected to be signed at the end of the 2013 season and is expected to be worth around $4 billion over 15 years -- it definitely drove up the cost of the Dodgers. The LA Lakers signed a $3b over 20 year deal and there are only half as many games broadcast.

For comparison, the Cleveland Browns were just sold for $1b and there's no one would put them in the same realm as the Dodgers. Major American sports franchises are worth shitloads of money.

Brendan Rodgers has such a punchable face. The amount of smugness on that face is so infuriating.

Arsenal are going to be boss next season, and I reckon RVP will start against Sunderland.

Highly doubt that. I reckon he'll bugger off to Italy before the 18th.

Apparently we're still interested in Mbiwa from Montpellier. I'm guessing the Douglas hopes are dead.

Funny news coming from Beijing. Two Napoli staff members spied on Juve's training session this morning. They were caught.

Apparently the two Napoli spies were watching Juve from another building. When they were found out, they ran into the bathroom.

:/

 

[Kyoufu]

:/

Cavani was missing so they tried to find him. When they couldn't see him at Juve, they suddenly realised he was at the Olympics.

So when they watched his performances at the Olympics, they ran to the bathroom to throw up.

Didn't know about Dodgers getting a tv deal. I know the Lakers got one worth $2 billion.

Edit: $3 billion for Lakers? My memory is shit.

If you weren't a Newcastle fan I'd really hate you for talking badly of my man crush.

By the way, worst transfer window ever. I hate football right now.

 

[Carbonox]

Tamas Kadar has joined Roda JC on a free from Newcastle. Poor guy had so much potential but was injured 99.9% of the time. Farewell my fellow Hungarian.

More news on the spies" The two spies are assistant coaches of Mazzarri. They were filming parts of Juve's training.

This is so pathetic.

GAF has been shit this morning.. won't stay up. Apparently Laudrup is asking for £20m for Allen -- at this point, that just doesn't seem like very good business for Liverpool but who knows. If I could buy Clint Dempsey for half that (and he was willing), I wouldn't blink.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...pool-to-pay-L20-million-for-joe-allen?cc=5901

Also saw a different story which suggested 'Pool was interested in signing Guidetti. Loan or bust, Mancini.

 

[elseanio]

Made up with Suarez signing.

Yep I honestly thought he'd have had enough of the English press and would've asked for a transfer request.

The little man has got balls of steel.

GAF has been shit this morning.. won't stay up. Apparently Laudrup is asking for £20m for Allen -- at this point, that just doesn't seem like very good business for Liverpool but who knows. If I could buy Clint Dempsey for half that (and he was willing), I wouldn't blink.

It doesn't matter if Laudrup is asking for £20million, it has been very widely reported that the release clause for Allen is £15million.

 

[fadetoblack]

Football-Italia posted a bullshit report about reports in Italy that Conte has offered to resign. My Twitter is going apeshit with journalists calling Football-Italia on their shit, which is troubling, since I've always found F-I fairly good about their reporting.

It's telling, though, that they used the report part of "Report: Conte to Resign?" as part of their headline. Seems they knew it was bullshit, too.

Allen has a release clause for £15m for certain clubs including Liverpool, so not sure what Laudrup is talking about!

No, he's saying Allen is worth £20 million when you consider the signings we've already made in central midfield. The release clause is £15 million, if we offer that they have to accept. I also believe the effect Allen would have on our ability to play the Rodgers style is worth £15 million, too.

Not seen a thing of this Guidetti.

 

[xintin]

Start the off-season almost certainly signing Hulk. End it with Victor Moses. Uhhh.

Man puts £44,000 on Liverpool winning the league

Bet he posts on RAWK.

Ahh, some shoddy reporting by ESPN then as they don't mention anything about a release clause and suggest Laudrup is saying it will likely cost more than the £15m that was believed to be enough.

Here is the bit about Guidetti -- could be a total fabrication but we might hear more in the coming days.. once someone reports it, people run with it true or otherwise: http://www.caughtoffside.com/2012/0...highly-rated-man-city-striker-john-guidetti/?

The release clause definitely exists, as Swansea referred to it in their statement the other day, indicating it's accurate. Basically if 1 of 5 clubs (Arsenal, Liverpool, City, United, Chelsea) offer £15 million Swansea have to accept.

 

[Mastadon]

What a waste.

Easy money you mean?

 

[Labadal]

I cerainly hope we don't go after Guidetti. He's good and is developing as a player, but he needs to change his attitude. We have Suarez, we don't need another JT just yet.
