Domestic World Football    Players Refuse To Play

Spanish side Racing Santander's players have walked off the pitch refusing to play their Copa Del Ray quarter final against Real Sociadad in a protest over 4 months of unpaid wages. The ref blew for kick off but the Santander players just gathered in the centre circle. The ref asked if they were going to play, they said no, so the game was abandoned. Crazy scenes!

English Football    Man City's Financial Results

Man City released their financial statements yesterday as part of their annual report


http://content.mcfc.co.uk/~/media/Files/Annual%20Report/MCFC_AR.pdf


 


I thought I'd pick out some of the interesting facts from the report


 


Please note these are all as of 31 May 2013


 


Revenue


Match Day £39,615,000 14.6%


Champions League TV £24,144,000 8.9%


Other Broadcasting £64,250,000 23.7%


Other Commercial Activities £142,991,000 52.8%


Total £271,000,000 100.0%


 


Only 14.6% of Man City's revenue is from a matchday


 


Expenses


Total Operating Expenses £369,353,000


Salaries & Wages £233,106,000 63.11%


 


Wages account for 64% of Man City Group's costs.


 


As of 31 May 2013, the accounting estimate for the price of the players registration is £428m


 


 


 


Staff


Football Staff (Including Players) 222 49.44%


Commercial/Admin Staff 227 50.56%


Total 449


 


That is a lot of football staff, I wonder what kind of things some of these people do


 


Profit


Without transfers, Man City Group would have made a profit of £23.4m, but including the trading of players they made a loss of £51.6


 


Possible Bonuses/Signing on fees/etc


Man City believe they could have to pay a maximum £53.9m "upon the achievement of certain conditions contained within player and transfer contracts if they are still in the service of the Club"


 


Let me know if you have anything else you might want to know, and I'll see if I can work it out from the published accounts

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    [Loan] Danny Haynes To Join Hibs

Notts County's Danny Haynes to join Hibs on loan


<!--url{0}--> Notts County forward Danny Haynes is on his way to Scotland to join Hibernian on loan.

The English League One club confirmed to BBC Scotland that the 26-year-old would be with the Scottish Premiership club for the rest of the season.

Haynes, who can play on the wing or up front, signed a three-year contract with County in the summer after leaving Charlton Athletic.

He has made 23 appearances for County this season, scoring four goals.

However, he has not found the net since October, has not started for the Magpies since early December and was placed on the transfer list by manager Shaun Derry earlier this month.

Haynes said on social media site Twitter: "Now on route to Scotland. Off on loan to Hibs for the rest of the season."

The paperwork for Haynes' move to the Scottish Premiership is not expected to be completed until Thursday.

Match Talk    Notts County Vs Walsall Fc

First thing I'm going to type here, I do not want to see a repeat of our away game against them. I'll only accept if we start as we ended that game, 25+ minutes of domination but this time for the majority of the game. :P

It would be nice to see the flag in the Kop! I loved that at Peterborough and was it Bristol City last?

@sadlad how many Walsall fans do you see coming?

It should be a lively encounter, I like the type of football our opponents play but I think under Derry they will find us more of a match than the last time we played them. Very unlucky not to come back with 3 points but I won't dwell on past games!

Hopefully our resident saddler will tell us all about their threats and he's kindly agreed to do our Opposition View!

Surprised by Holt though. I though he had potential and with hard work might have made the grade, but SD knows best.


 


Notts County Football Club can confirm that development squad duo Jordan Holt and Callum Bennett have departed Meadow Lane.




Both players’ contracts have expired this week and will not be renewed.

 

Holt made a total of two first team appearances for the Magpies, whereas Bennett was named as an unused substitute on two occasions.

 

Everyone at the club would like to thank Callum and Jordan for their efforts and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Does The Club/manager Really Need To Apologise

I expect Notts to lose especially when not doing all that well, perfect example would be this season. Sometimes teams will play a lot better and exploit a team, though it bugs me that 'sorry' and 'apologies' come rather freely. I've read (and heard) enough to last me for the next 5 seasons. Whilst it's nice to know SD feels bad about it, I don't really want to hear something which means as much to me as a naughty child saying it for the sake of it.

Does anyone else expect to see them or want to hear it?

It could be me being grumpy I suppose, though words mean little in football and it's what you do on the pitch that ultimately matters. So we lost 1-5 or 1-6 depending where you look (even the official highlights have it as 1-6) LOL

Only time I would want to hear 'sorry' is if a player seriously let us down, you calling the fans - walking off the pitch etc. It's not like they stopped playing but they just didn't respond to Walsall's goals.

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Mcgregor 'making Up For Lost Time

Celtic's Callum McGregor 'making up for lost time' at Notts County


<!--url{0}--> On-loan Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor said adding to his goalscoring form for Notts County is all he considered doing during protracted negotiations about his future.

He started his second spell with Notts by netting his 13th goal of the season in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Walsall.

McGregor missed three games while a new loan agreement was being reached.
Too little, too late

Callum McGregor's 13th goal of the season for Notts County was no more than a consolation for the hosts, as Walsall were already 5-0 up when he struck with a free-kick on 61 minutes.

"I'm determined to make up for lost time and score a few more goals," the 20-year-old told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"I've had a great six months here. Everybody at the club has been excellent with me. I was enjoying my football as well, so I was determined to get back to try and keep that run going.

"It's been a tough month and I just tried to keep myself training, keep myself fit and hoped a deal went through."

The Scotland Under-21 international said he was aware that other clubs, including League One rivals Wolves, were interested in him, but insists he only envisioned returning to Meadow Lane.

"There was speculation about me going elsewhere, but for me I wanted to stay here and see out the season with Notts County because I was going so well," he said.

"There is nothing better as a player than when you are doing well and scoring goals - all you really want to do is keep that going."

English Football    Oh No... Paul Ince Has Been Sacked!

Paul Ince: Blackpool boss sacked after less than a year in charge


<!--url{0}--> Blackpool have sacked manager Paul Ince after less than a year in charge.

The 46-year-old was appointed in February 2013 following previous boss Michael Appleton's move to Blackburn.

The Seasiders were briefly top of the Championship this season after winning five of their opening six games, but have not won since 30 November.
Paul Ince factfile
David Beckham, Paul Ince and Paul Gascoigne

Made 730 senior appearances for eight clubs including West Ham, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Liverpool
Won two Premier League titles and two FA Cups during six-year spell at Old Trafford
Won 53 England caps and became the country's first black captain in 1993
Began managerial career at Macclesfield in 2006, keeping the club in the Football League
Won League Two title and Football League Trophy with MK Dons in 2008
Became first black British manager in the Premier League when taking over at Blackburn, but was sacked after 21 games

Ince's departure was confirmed in a brief club statement that also said midfielder Barry Ferguson will take charge of training on Thursday.

In October, Ince was given a five-match stadium ban by the Football Association, and he won only 12 out of 42 games as boss.

His last match was a 2-0 defeat at bottom club Barnsley on Saturday and his assistants, Alex Rae and Steve Thompson, have also left the club.

The Blackpool Supporters Association had taken a unanimous vote of no confidence in Ince on Monday evening.

And the BSA also produced a six-point letter to club chairman Karl Oyston, giving their view that Ince's position was "untenable" and that his "tactics, attitude and results has destroyed the morale of Blackpool fans".

The former Manchester United, Inter Milan, Liverpool and England midfielder previously managed Macclesfield Town, MK Dons, Blackburn Rovers and Notts County.

At Stadium MK he won the League Two title and Football League Trophy before being given a chance in the Premier League by Blackburn.

But Ince was sacked by the Ewood Park club after less than six months, having won only six out of 21 games in all competitions - and after leaving Notts County in April 2011, he was out of work for almost two years before joining Blackpool on a one-year rolling contract.

He was given the task of keeping the club in the Championship and met that target as they finished last season in 15th place, five points above the relegation zone.

But a poor run of recent form, which brought just two points from their last 12 games and an FA Cup third-round defeat at Bolton, prompted Oyston to relieve Ince of his post.

Ince's son Tom remains a Blackpool player despite being repeatedly linked with moves to other clubs, most recently Monaco.

Granny Pie's General Discussion    Superstitions/rituals

I think this has been covered before but does anyone have any particular superstition or ritual that they follow before going to the match or listening to the match.


 


I would have said I didn't until last Saturday, when I leave the house for the match Mrs. H. usually says "I hope they win" (mainly because she know's if they don't I will be in a foul mood when I get back) but this Saturday she didn't, I got in the car and realised she hadn't said it so I had to go back and tell her to say it in case it brought bad luck. :lol:


 


Not that it did much good, perhaps the reason they lost was because she didn't say it without being prompted. :unsure:


 


I hope she says it next time.


 


What superstitions or rituals do you have?

International Football    Fifa Rules Out Summer World Cup In Qatar

FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke has confirmed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will not be held in June or July.

 

He suggested it may be held "between November 15 and January 15 at the latest" according to Sky Sports News.

 

What do you guys make of this development?

Personally I believe FIFA well and truly shot themselves in the foot. The World Cup has ALWAYS been held in the summer. They blindly went for the Gulf state several years ago without even considering the basic consequences of having a tournament in a country which reaches 50C in June (why did they even need to confirm the venue for 2022 at the same time as the 2018 one?), and now they're paying the price. What an absolute farce.
