What is Fanalysis? Explaining the player ratings app co-founded by Michael McIntyre and Gary Neville Supporters can only comment on players in their team, and the high-profile people behind the app hope its data becomes a key resource

The @Fanalysisapp is in a crowded market place but it is different and seems to be picking up pace with @theathletic.com today joining @skysportpl.bsky.social in using data gathered from the app.

A Sunderland fan asked me where he could get a half & half scarf yesterday. I told him not to do it. He said he wouldn’t normally but has a such respect for us and was so made up to be coming to HDS for the first time, he wanted to mark the occasion πŸ’™ Best fans we’ve had here by far πŸˆβ€β¬›

The more revenue a club has the more it can spend on players without breaching the rules.

Our revenues should increase significantly due to the new stadium and if we keep control of our costs this should be good for us.

A watch casing made from turnstiles and a strap that’s made from a home shirt. Was the limited edition The Goodison watch from Christopherward worth the wait ?

Francis, not sure if you have watched this interview but the CEO talks about the manager, his standards and the transfer window.

Business With Blain: Hill Dickinson Stadium is Brilliant, but Everton Have Issues to Solve The first non-footballing event at Hill Dickinson Stadium proved a success, albeit with some major drawbacks that must be addressed quickly by Everton.

An excellent, honest piece from @john-b58.bsky.social highlighting outstanding stadium issues.
Valid comments from @patricridge.bsky.social too: outsourcing large elements of service provision don’t absolve the Club of responsibility for the quality of that service.

Licensed standing in seated areas criteria - SGSA Grounds wanting to offer licensed, safe standing must meet 16 criteria.

There’s no law that needs to be changed, because it is not stated in any law.

It is a requirement imposed at its sole discretion by the SGSA and the law allows them to amend the guidance as they see fit.

See point B3 here: sgsa.org.uk/document/lic...

The CEO has said we don’t bring in anyone the manager doesn’t want.

Yep, let’s hope that’s the last inevitable action of this game after a load of added time is announced.

No idea Dave, I’ve only watched the second half and as I heard it his first mention was being subbed.

The CL game was always their easiest this week.

Yeah saw that too, seemed lucky to get away with that.

Didn’t know Wirtz was playing until he was subbed.

Then Brentford get a controversial πŸ€”penalty to make it 3-1

Indeed.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Henderson went to Ajax for tax purposes by the way.

Isn’t he rumoured to be earning Β£400k/week ?

Still a huge sum post tax but yeah, Tuchel would be more interested if he was playing in the CL.

Toney will be liable for personal tax on his income from Saudi Arabia, and anywhere else for that matter if he’s remained a UK resident.

Generally he’d have to stay out the country (there’s details to this) for a whole tax year for his Saudi income to be β€˜tax free’ and for him that mean April 2026

Interesting article in the Athletic that ranks all the summer transfer signings with a comparison between when the window closed and now.
