To bring some financial clarity to the potential transaction for #afcb Semenyo, remember for sales:

P&L Profit = Sales Price - Overage - Net Book Value - PL Transfer Tax

Cash Surplus = Sales Price - Overage - (Buy Price + Agent Fee) - PL Transfer Tax

The sun is out over Stanpit Manor. The coffee is steaming - Brazilian lava java 👀. The croissants are warm & jam is fruity.
But the mood is sombre.
No travelling/TV for the Massive today - grandad duties. But Millie will make sure I know when the phone pings!
3 points pls #afcb

No #afcb football of note on a Saturday.
Excel or more decorating?
Only one choice!

The Stanpit Massive Wagon Master sips an Italian blend & runs through Slim’s pre-trail checklist:
Petrol ✔️
Oil ✔️
Water ✔️
In-flight snacks ✔️
Music ✔️
Parking ✔️
He grimaces. His football addiction is getting expensive. 3 #afcb points at the Emptyhead will fix that!

I see the world and his dog are moaning about #afcb transfer spending/hijacking/etc & the role of wealthy shareholders. A key thing to remember is that on all player disposals since 2008 (including those released & gone for "free"), #afcb has a net positive cashflow of over £60m!

The Stanpit Massive horologist creaks into action. The return to GMT means entry to the meat of the football season with games coming fast & no bloody @FIFAcom interruptions. That makes him smile over a very good Jamaican coffee.
3 #afcb points will set us on our way!

11 years ago today the Guardian wrote:
“…while #afcb lack of resources, renders their prospects of reaching the Premier League unlikely.”
And the rest as they say was history 🤣

Still a long way to go but the other team in red’n’black - @cobhamfc.bsky.social - keeping up the pace at the top of the Combined. Counties League. Well worth popping down to the Leg o’ Mutton if for a game you are in the area.

Cannae Holdings publish proxy docs related to the forthcoming AGM - 12 Dec. A number of measures included for vote that are intended to ward off activist investors.
Snippets on #afcb include the somewhat “optimistic” Sportico valuation at $630m.

It’s the anniversary of a special goal by a very special talent.

David “Rocky” Rocastle. Old Trafford. 1991.

What extraordinary ability.

A breakfast disaster at Cobham Towers. The croissants are burned.
Not an auspicious start to
the day for the Stanpit Massive. And the Sarf Landan train network still to be negotiated.
But the coffee is safe and 3 #afcb points will banish completely the memory of the smoke alarm!
