    UEFA's latest footballing landscape / benchmarking report (2015)

    A minnow like ourselves doesn't get much of a mention but where we do it's to show a bit of a rise in profitability and revenue. Attendances are highest in over 10 years. Our gate receipts account for a high % of income. Player age averages 24.4, relatively young. In itself I wouldn't be made massively upbeat by the report but things are moving in the right way at least.

    When searching search for IRL, Ireland or Outside the Top 20! No mention of "problem child" or "amazing job".

    Some interesting findings overall, notably improved profitability / less financial distress than pre FFP.
    Can we put a pin in the "problem child" quote? He called the League a "difficult child" but for whatever reason, it's morphed into "problem child" and that's what stuck
    from http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2014/...ue-of-ireland/
    But Delaney defended the FAI’s handling of the league in an interview on Game On on RTÉ’s 2fm last night.

    He denied the league is on its knees.

    “The facts don't substantiate that,” he said. “The League of Ireland is a difficult child for the organisation.

    “I have a love for the League of Ireland. When the FAI took over, the clubs had a collective loss of €7million for one trading year.

    “The year before last they broke even. They lost a few quid last year. So we have brought a better structure to managing the finances of the clubs.

    Depends on who are the we. Those young Irish player figures also reflect a bleak picture which is far more important than the state of international football prospects.
    Outlined on chapter 9 page 85 onwards, are an account of club revenues and expenditures.
    LOI clubs only garner 3% of their income through transfers.
    The best prospects like Robbie Brady are still leaving the country in mid teens.
    The best older players are being creamed off the LOI clubs for a pittance and in other cases for nothing.
    LOI clubs saw nothing of the recent FAI euro prize money except for some €5,000 grant towards creating a survival plan, i.e.how to manage a premier club for the next 5 years on food stamps and use plenty of buzz words to disguise the pitiful state.

    Mention of Robbie Brady brings some thread relevance

    Either way, Brady might get a taste of the Champions League.
    Would he be able to play in the CL this season or would he effectively be cup tied?

    He hasn't played in Europe this year so why would he be cup-tied?

    Since when does rationality enter Tricky's thought process? Asking for reasons could cause further befuddlement and we all know where that ends up ----> into a rash of mundane threads landing on the forum with the grace of a duo expresso fueled octopus.

    Ah well yes I see what you mean, but for me I do not think it really fair if a club strenghtens it's cup squad during the cup, indeed you could pretty
    much say the same thing over a championship season. Basically one squad for the season seem right to me, mind you we almost already have that
    apart from these "windows". Basically someone needs to put a brick through those windows.

    It is all rational to me, problem is the existing system is irrational.

    Back on topic, Brady linked with Sunderland today.

    How many is that now.
    Leicester,
    Swansea,
    Crystal Palace,
    Aston Villa,
    Sunderland,
    Burnley,
    Newcastle,
    West Ham(last summer)

    Hard to figure what the best option is there.

    Can't help but think Newcastle is the best option. Leicester are going backwards. Newcastle most likely going up with a good manager and impressive squad, not to mention the brilliant support etc.

    Yes I mostly agree. However, have to admit I don't know the Newcastle squad that well, would he be a starter?

    They certainly appear to be the most glamorous of the clubs mentioned but they can be a bit of a madhouse. How long before a bigger club comes knocking for Benitez if they do get promoted? This was their second relegation in a relatively short time frame as well, which is bonkers for a club of their resources really.

    Yoann Gouffran and Paul Dummett were LM and LB at the weekend. Having seen both in the Premiership I would say, with confidence, he is better than both.

    So his price has gone up £3 million in one day, he will be worth more than Trump soon.

    WHY WHY WHY???!!!! I came here to get away from news about our New Orange Puppet Overlord and you bring him into the conversation - I'm reporting you to Tets and demanding a long ban. And besides, for all we know (because Trump won't release his taxes) Brady might already be worth more than him. In fact, I might be worth more than him.
