Re: Rumour Mill
Every player has a price, and I’m sure the ownership team will know Kone’s.
When you consider the data modelling involved, they will be looking at how to maximise value and how to reinvest that elsewhere in other players who are undervalued to gradually improve the playing squad. It’s an approach that Brentford carried out a number of times when they went through the leagues. Often selling their best player at a high value and then reinvesting.
It may also make sense to hold off any sale until next season if we are in the Championship. Banking the profit then may be more beneficial from a FFP (or whatever is now called) perspective because we do not need the football fortune this season.

I did shudder when Evatt lost his job.... doesn't bare worth thinking about! Nor does Barton but I dont think all the data in the world could convince anybody he isn't a pleb.
Re: Other Football
The BBC are calling this a Hollywood derby. What’s Hollywood about Birmingham City? They do know Tom Brady played in New England, a mere 3000 miles away?
Re: Ryan Tafazolli leaves the club on loan
It's a big change, hope it works out well for him rather than going (sweet and) sour.
You've got to have some real balls (chicken or pork will do) to make that kind of move.

I thought as it was so random that it was in reference to what the anagram is of his name.
