Barcelona will leave Camp Nou *again* for the first half of next season, and club members approved a further €510million in debt issuance on Saturday. Most indebted club in football's borrowings could now reach €2.6bn w/ @polballus @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/76197…

Daniel Levy received a £27million compensation package when he left Tottenham Hotspur as chairman Levy earned roughly £61m in wages, bonuses and other remuneration during his time at Spurs. With his £27m golden handshake, that figure is around £88m [@TomBarclay_]

Daniel Levy turned Spurs into one of the biggest football clubs in the Premier League. But one year after losing power in a coup, his $1 billion cash-out still hasn't arrived. Find out why it hasn't happened: bloom.bg/4yVkuhs 📷: Hollie Adams / Bloomberg

Delighted to see him playing in the Premier League and scoring the winner at the weekend 💙

Frank Lampard winning his first game for Coventry with a goal from a Cobham graduate was always going to bring a smile to my face. You just love to see it 💙

SWFC 0-0 Stockport #soccersaturday Great crowd 32,290 👏 Stockport were very good to watch and should have won this. Much the better team and missed the best chances. Owls got away with one today #swfc #scfc

A long read, but its the truth! I genuinely think we are watching football loyalty slowly die and I don't know what replaces it. I've followed Man United home and away for decades. Thousands and thousands of miles, trains, cars, coaches, hotels, stupid kick off times, days off work and an absolutely frightening amount of money. But forget the money for a minute because you can always earn more money. You can't get the time back. Weekends away from your wife and kids, family things you've missed, holidays planned around fixtures, getting home at stupid o'clock then getting up for work a few hours later. And none of us were forced to do it. We did it because we fucking loved it. When the fixtures came out you didn't think do I fancy that game? You thought right, how am I getting there? That's the difference. And lately I've noticed more and more people I've known through football for years saying the same thing. "They can have my ticket." That's not normal. These aren't people who started supporting United because they won a trophy last year. These are lads who've been everywhere following them. And before rival fans jump on with the glory hunter stuff, that doesn't really wash anymore either. Yes, Manchester United were ridiculously successful. We were spoilt for years and I'll never pretend otherwise. But we've been mediocre for the best part of 12 years now. There are kids going to Old Trafford today who've never seen Manchester United win the league. For some of them, United being bang average is basically all they've ever known. What glory are they hunting? They're still going. Their dads and mams are still taking them. They're still buying the shirts, travelling away and growing up supporting United. So this isn't about demanding we win the league every year. Football fans can handle losing. Fuck me, we've proved that. It's everything else. You can have a Saturday night kick off now where you're £100 for a train, £100 for a hotel, ticket, food, drink and you're basically writing off 24 hours of your life. Sometimes you're fucked for work the next day as well. And increasingly you sit there thinking... What am I actually getting back from this? Not trophies. I don't mean that. I mean from the relationship with the club. Because it doesn't feel like a relationship anymore. It feels like a transaction. You're a membership number. A ticket account. A customer. And if after 20, 30, 40 years you finally say fuck this, you can have my ticket, it doesn't really matter. Someone else will take it. Probably someone who'll spend more money while they're there. They'll buy the shirt, go in the Megastore, buy the experience, take the photos and maybe pay hundreds more for something that used to simply be part of going to the football. Financially that might make perfect sense. But I think football is playing a very dangerous game. Because the people you're slowly replacing aren't customers. They're supporters. They're the people who went when it was brilliant and went when it was shit. The people who knew everyone around their seat. The people whose dad took them and who now take their own kids. The people who didn't need a "matchday experience" because the fucking match WAS the experience. And I don't even think this is just Manchester United. I'm hearing supporters from other clubs saying exactly the same things. Maybe we're just further down the road than some. Football is becoming an event. A day out. A product. Something you experience once and stick on Instagram. And maybe that's just the future. Maybe old fuckers like me need to accept it 😂 But here's the bit I'd worry about if I ran a football club. People aren't as angry anymore. They're just losing interest. There's a massive difference. Angry supporters still care. They protest. They complain. They sing about the owners. They demand change. When someone who's arranged their entire life around football for 30 years suddenly says... "Know what? I can't be arsed going."

What was the attendance today?

“Champions League football at Championship prices” 🙄 Nobody is asking for that. Look at the approximate average CL prices elsewhere: • Aston Villa — £94 • Arsenal — £91 • Real Madrid — £87 • Barcelona — £73 • Inter Milan — £56 • Bayern Munich — £54 • Borussia Dortmund — £50 • Liverpool — £46 • Man City — £40 • Atlético Madrid — £31 Villa are charging up to £99 to watch Viking. Now multiply that when you're a parent taking your kids. Tickets. Travel. Food. Drinks. Suddenly one night at Villa Park can cost a family hundreds of pounds. And the answer is “pay it or watch on a dodgy Fire Stick”? That's exactly how you lose the next generation. Kids don't fall in love with Villa through a Fire Stick. They fall in love walking up those Holte End steps with their mum or dad. Success comes at a cost. But it shouldn't come at the cost of pricing families out of Villa Park. #AVFC 🦁

@avfcbreaking So you want champions league football at championship prices? Success always comes at a cost. You have the right to support the team and pay it helping Villa grow or sit watching it on a dodgy fire stick and moan about the team tactics on X -entirely your choice

Todd Boehly banner for sale. Used once, excellent condition. No reasonable offer refused or part exchange for a decent midfield player.

@CFCTruestBlue Said at the time of the so called 'bomb squad' nonsense at Chelsea people needed to think about how real PEOPLE with feelings were being treated. Imo our club behaved shamefully. Wont be throwing any brickbats & anyone who does needs to have a serious word with themself.
