Derby outspent almost all other championship clubs under Lampard in transfer fees and wages with nothing to show for it.

And the same boys that lampard said were not ready, ended up winning UCL after he was sacked...

The man has failed everywhere he went as a manager. That's an undeniablr fact

I did not know that a team that made £470k profit on transfers can outspend all teams in Championship.

Last time you said he brought players like Efe Ambrose on big wages, when Efe Ambrose was on £5k per week

Derby was already on financial trouble before Lampard, he made profit on transfers, brought players on loan and brought players on pittance salary like Efe Ambrose. None of his signing earned more than £8k per week. I commented on it at the time, I was very aware of their financial difficulty

Ibime:
Congrats to Frank Lampard for qualifying Derby to playoffs despite financial pressures which led to Derby selling more than they bought.

Even if all you said is true (though very false), that is still the record of a mid-level manager, not as bad as what we are seeing.

raumdeuter:
This might have been a valid excuse if this was a coach that has a reputation of being decent.
Check Lampards credentials as Everton, Check his last 20 results as a coach then we will know if this is downing tools or just a terrible coach

So you think a coach that took a Derby to Championship playoff final, took a young Chelsea team to UCL and saved an Everton team that Benitez was heading toward relegation would be this incompetent as what we are seeing? The truth should be somewhere in-between because even Monday Sinclair cannot produce these unprofessional performances unless the players down tools.

Maybe check Benitez last 20 results at Everton. If you check Lampard results at Everton, they are usually tight games that end 0-1 or 1-2, his problem was lack of striker. He thought he could save his career with Chelsea job but he walked into a team where players have given up for the season. The players interviews from Thiago Silva to Havertz yesterday should tell you they have zero respect for Boehly and are on cruise. This is a team with two dressing rooms. Well Lampard got paid well for it, it is what it is.

Anyone who thinks this is down to coaching rather than players downing tools is on a long ting.

Players fly for international football, land Friday night, play Saturday afternoon with one or two pidgin English from Eguavoen and don't look this inept.

If you put 11 motivated players on the pitch with no instruction, you can't get these sort of performances. Players are not fools, they all know their job. Just like they did with Avram Grant. Players have simply downed tools. This is similar to 2015/16 Mourinho season. The players no gree again. Boehly has killed their spirit repeatedly.

Why is the weakling Jorginho dominating the Kante Kovacic Enzo all star midfield

Football is a human sport. These players are protesting against Boehly. They not concerned with Jogginghoe. Even 11 Furo Iyenemis can defeat them till further notice. If you didn't hail Hojberg for defeating them a month ago, then keep the same energy

Emaprince:
Didn't even see defenses coming for kizz before I chimed in.

There is nothing unique in Ayra BTW. Good voice, nice songs, I agree..but Nothing, I repeate NOTHING too unique about her music in general. If she run out of ideas, she will fizzle out.

Rema will last much longer than her even though Rema have spent years around before her.

Nah, Arya got lyrics and a unique voice

Jack Dorsey is trying to get new users for Bluesky.

Whether Elon Musk ruined Twitter depends on the person, The Democrats and Left wing people hate Twitter and the Republicans and Right wing people are loving Twitter.

No political platform is worth $44bln

Twitter has been overpoliticised. 95% of users just want to catch cruise and follow other things.

"The co-founder rolled over his 18 million shares into the Elon Musk era of the company rather than taking a payout. His shares equal approximately a 2.4 percent stake in the company."

So he didn't cash out?

Artistes with longevity in the music business have the VRIN qualities in high levels using the model of Jay Barney, one of the leading experts in strategic management in the US.

With regard to value (V), Asake is good. But in other aspects such as rarity (R), imitability (I), and non-substitutability (N), he doesn't have much to compete.

Particularly, it's not hard to imitate (replicate) some of his works. Thus, I think he'll fizzle out soon in the music business like Kizz Daniel, Iyanya, Reekado Banks, and many similar artists.

Based on the VRIN framework, I think in the current crop of music stars in the Nigerian music industry, Arya Starr is one of the few artists that could achieve longevity in the business.

The music industry, just like other sectors, is getting tougher by the day.

Arya is unique, but Kizz never die. Kizz has the formula that East Africa loves.

nihilistjnr:
BTW what's going on in the music industry right now.

If I was Asake, I would be livid. They don recreate the guy sound down to the drums, shekere, and even the singer...

You no longer need to feature Asake to tune into the king of sound and blues

Imagine Asake listening to Tiwa Savage's Stamina. The guy go just dey one corner dey cry

Same way Davido found Awka-made Tems to feature on Kante.

Yankee artistes are scared of AI, but the real danger is the Artificial Humans running amok in Lagos

Asake is a producers creation and is easy to replicate. He has no unique individual talent

If choir effect is selling, any producer can replicate it. Below is how. Even Burna has started using choir effect now.

lol, I no dey defend anything.. if I feel a certain woman makes me happy and I can afford her bills, I can pay for the temporary happiness while it lasts..

Most men don't fancy the long protocols of wooing women.. they use money to bypass those protocols and I see nothing wrong innit

Spoken like a true Igbo man

Time is money, no time for wooing, let the money talk

BlueRayDick:
It has always been like that for long time. Yorubas usually share properties/inheritance using two main systems ; 1 . Idi-Igi system and 2. ori-ojori system.

The IDI-IGI SYSTEM is one in which the inheritance is shared according to the number of wives the man has . Obviously it’s used in polygamous settings where the man has multiple wives . Each of the wives will get their own proportion which they will keep in trust for their children’s upbringing .

The ORI-OJORI SYSTEM can be used in both polygamous and monogamous settings . Each of the children gets their own proportion of the inheritance . If the man has 3wives with wife A having 3 children, wife B having 2 children and wife C having 5 children…. The 8 children will have their equal share of the inheritance without any regard to other factors.

Una dey try sha. Although I associate disenfranchisement of the female child with Igbo people, I had to remember my great uncle who was our King and had 12 daughters and 4 boys and all his properties went to the 4 boys with no questions asked by any of the women. Then I remembered how both my grandmaternal and grandpaternal villages have been sharing land since the 80s and not one woman is included inside the sharing and it's not strange or odd to anyone.

I know the Igbo one well but we too are guilty, but not as far as throwing a widow out of her late husbands house like you hear of with the Igbo

An article exploring reasons why Tucker Carlson is off air.
Note. I didnt say fired , It seems the Fox news want to keep him on contract till after 2024 elections , possibly to prevent him from talking.
They wiill be paying him.
As an addendum,a rival network Newsmax has offered him a 25% increase to his humongous salary that triple Havard DEI graduates like Ijeboss masturbate for at night.
If you bother to read the article that broadens your horizons, note some three names.. George Soros, Blackrock and big pharma,

Donjazet2:
Seems like the Yoruba culture has evolved much faster than the igbo culture. Wow

In Yoruba land, ask the elders when community land in the village was being shared, maybe in the 1970s or so, whether any woman received a piece? That's where this mentality stems from. When my village shared land in the early 80s, my father had to go and claim land in his name, though he had no intention of building in the village. Then his mother built on the land and lives there till this day.

Exonerate1:
Don't let anyone deceive you 39 G/A in roughly 58 matches is incredible output for any attacker.

Joao Felix is not even the kind of player that needs a G/A to have a good game. He does many things every game that doesn't end up in the score sheet

The most important thing is that boehly and the people that actually matters value the talent he has.

Be quiet. Joao Felix almost always has a bad game, that's why they take him off every 70 mins, allowing you to make up fake 90 mins stats. Joao Felix does not press, loses the ball foolishly, and has directly contributed to 2 goals against Chelsea for the 2 he has scored. There is nothing desirable about his weak play, easy dispossession, lack of pressing and poor hold up outside of GA.

39 GA in 58 games is not good output especially for a free role player, despite your attempt to make up 90 mins metric

1 goal every 2 games is a good output for a striker. If you add an assist every other game, your GA in a free role should be close to 1:1 at that price

He has 39 GA in 96 games, mostly as a starter and even his low GA is all against relegation teams. Not 39 in 58 or any fake metric you made

39 GA in 3.5 seasons as a starting forward player is horrendous especially when your GA are against the below

Ibime:
Joao Felix played 96 league games over 3.5 seasons at Atleti. These are the goals he scored

Cadiz - 5
Osasuna - 5
Betis - 3
Alaves - 2
Granada - 2
Villarreal - 2
Elche - 1
Eibar - 1
Mallorca - 1
Espanyol - 1
Valencia - 1
Sevilla - 1

andrew444:
120k weekly is fair for him

His salary is £250k

Nothing works about that transfer, from his salary to price to effect on the tactical balance of the team for paltry goal return

Capaldi:
Yes 39goal contribution in approximately 58matches is poverty stats. Now kindly get lost.

Shut up clown

It's not 58 matches. He's a regular starter for 3 seasons straight

That they bring him off at 70-80 mins because he's a tactical liability to reduce his 90 mins ratio is nobody's business. Many forwards come off around that time

How can 39 GA in 3.5 seasons against the Cadiz and Alaves of this world as a regular starter be acceptable for any forward. That's 11 GA per season as a regular starter in a free role who adds nothing tactical to the team

Mount that posted 29 GA just in one season last year is your favourite whipping boy

Clown show

Capaldi:
25goals plus 14 assist in 5240 combined minutes makes 39goal contribution in approximately 58matches. Incoherent rambling on display.

So he only has 14 assists in 96 matches

Poverty goals

Even more poverty assists

For someone playing a free role or in the front 3, what a disgrace

andrew444:
If I am a Chelsea fan ,the only way I will want the team to get Felix is if he will go for cheap ,maybe poch can get the best out of him

But you see that fee wey ATM Dey call for Chelsea ? Lol ,na play una Dey ,boehly might just pay it ,don’t be surprised

Getting Joao Felix is a gamble ,but many Chelsea fans will disagree with me

Joao Felix is one of the most popular names in Laliga ,but he isn’t even among top 10 players base on field impact

The problem is he is a £30m player on £100m player salary

Even if you sign him for £40m, what salary will you pay him?

Joao Felix played 96 league games over 3.5 seasons at Atleti. These are the goals he scored

Cadiz - 5
Osasuna - 5
Betis - 3
Alaves - 2
Granada - 2
Villarreal - 2
Elche - 1
Eibar - 1
Mallorca - 1
Espanyol - 1
Valencia - 1
Sevilla - 1


That's 25 goals in 96 games, 90% of them against relegation fodder.

- 40% of his goals have come against Cadiz and Osasuna

- 60% of his goals have come against Cadiz, Osasuna, Alaves and Betis

For Portugal, he has scored 2 goals against Croatia, 1 goal vs Andorra, 1 vs Luxembourg and 1 vs Ghana in 30 games

Fraud!

Capaldi:
Atletico results from from January 8th to April 2nd.

ATM 0 Barca 1, Almeria 1: ATM 1, Levante0: ATM 2,. ATM 3: Valladolid 0, Madrid 3: ATM 1, Osasuana 0: ATM 1, ATM 1: Getafe 1, CELTA Vigo 0: ATM 1, ATM 1: Bilbao 0, Madrid 1: ATM 1, ATM 6: Sevilla 1, Girona 0: ATM 1, ATM 3: Valencia 0, ATM 1: Betis 0, Rayo Vallecano 1: ATM 2.


14 games, 10 games scoring only one goal, 6 games in a row scoring just one goal in that run thanks to Joao Felix blunting and hindering their attack from London. When they went 7 games out of 8 scoring only goal in each we didn't hear noise about Felix blunting their attack but immediately they score in huge numbers Felix name will be flying up and down this thread.

Shut up.

Has your source not updated you their last 2 games? 3-1 vs Mallorca and 5-2 vs Valladolid

16 games, 39 points. That's 2.5 points per game and 2 goals per game since he left

The first 7 games you said, they got 13 points, less than 2 points per game

Last season he only managed to score against Alaves, Cadiz, Granada, Osasuna and Betis

Good riddance

andrew444:
What about last season ??

Those 7 matches what was his performance like ?

Of course, you know what his record was.

He scored 0 goals in those 7 games

Last season he only managed to score against Alaves, Cadiz, Granada, Osasuna and Betis

Capaldi should be flogged

Capaldi:
Joao Felix was only a starter for Atletico Madrid in their first 7 league matches before he fell out with Simeone and was relegated to the bench permanently.

During those 7 matches they won 4, draw 1 and lost 2 to real Madrid and Villarreal. They scored 15 goals and conceded 6. Atletico Madrid drop of form came when Felix was already on the bench and was used sporadically by Simeone. The high scoring Atletico Madrid someone wants to deceive you with went from January 8th when they lost to Barcelona to April 2nd playing 14matches scoring only 1 goal in 10 of them. They even went 6 matches In a row scoring only one goal per match, maybe Joao Felix was the one hindering and blunting their attack all the way from London during those games. Anybody telling you Felix was the reason for their poor form or his absence is the reason for their upturn in form is an idiot and should not be taken seriously.

You lie. Atleti has played 16 league games since the Barca game, scoring more that one goal in 7 of them. They have had 16 league games with 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, scoring 32 goals in those 16 games. That's 2 goals per game on average.

Atleti is a team that once they score you one, they can ride out the game

Why has Felix not scored more than 8 league goals in any season at Atleti in the same position Griezmann was regularly hitting 20? Story for the Gods. Even for Portugal, nigga only has 5 goals in 4 years playing against the same Lichtensteins that they accuse Ronaldo of using to break International goals record. Useless forward

andrew444:
Griezman won’t win it though ,at the first half of the season he was only comming in every 60 minutes to prevent them for paying Barca complete money ,ter stegen will win it the way oblak won it ahead of Messi then

And you are very spot on about Felix ,the way atletico have been scoring much since Felix left is surprising

I don’t want to fully blame Felix ,but it really looks like the truth

Chelsea are likely to extend the loan or purchase him , Lol

Yeah Griezmann was played less than 30 mins each game till January so as not to trigger a purchase clause in his loan agreement with Barca. After Barca and Atleti settled and Felix was sent out, he has shown in less than half a season with 11 goals what Felix was never able to do, with Felix career high league goals for Atleti at just 8.

andrew444:
Griezman is easily Laliga Player of the season then ter stegen comes close to him ,I wish he had the chance to work with xavi ,all thanks to his close to 600k weekly salary and Barca financial issues

Griezmann has played less than half the season and scored 11 league goals

Felix in his role never scored more than 8 league goals for Atleti

Atleti have been relentlessly winning with another 5-2 victory this weekend and 3-1 last game week.

Felix was the poison blunting their attack.

Simeone who he blamed has now agreed new contract. When you put your faith in the wrong person they can bring you down. Felix nearly sacked Simeone, making him look like a blunt manager that can't score goals. Remove Felix and the problem went away.

Chelsea must not swallow this poison pill.

Perisic with his 11th assist of the season

Those who supported Cukuruku over Perisic will rather talk about Hojberg while Spurs is on holiday and have the worst defenders and goalkeeper in the league. At least this is better than when Chelsea went on holiday end of last season and we saw 4-1 defeat to Brentford at home.

That's 8.5% returns which is good. With no taxes.

If you are not sending the money abroad then that's even better

That return should be calculated in dollar terms, it would give a completely different picture. The only Nigerian property investments yielding non negative returns in dollar terms should be on the island areas in Lagos like Ikoyi, Phase 1, VGC, Banana

Olowunl01:
Chief - crash affects both cheap and expensive; took me some years to exits spanish purchase, and only just exiting my Bulgarian flats at a loss 20% .

Also cheap properties does tends towards lower income tenants, and these can be difficult to manage which would affect yield, especially when combined with Work & Family life.

Oga Dayo - How do you manage the property portfolio for yield? Purchase, Tenants & Tenant issues?

lol. Those Spanish properties lose a lot and are pumped by British tourists and they almost always lose value. Bulgaria is also an undeveloped market. As of 25 years ago when I was in Bulgaria, they were almost as poor as Nigerians. I was buying a bottle of wine for £1 there. That means what the lower income Bulgarian can afford is like £20k. So if you buy £50k, you are far from the bottom.

By low yield l am talking buying like £110k flat in the middle of Birmingham or Manchester. The low income Birmingham guy can always afford that. Besides when your focus is on yield and your rental income is achieving the desired percentage you won't care about losing equity that natural YoY inflation will recover for you.

Olowunl01:
Chief, property is not fool proof ooo; lots of people lost their shirts in the last crash, and in some country these pproperties have not recovered....

Typically if your aim is yield rather than capital appreciation, you should not lose your shirt in a property crash because the cheapest properties offer the best yield, and the cheapest properties don't really crash because they are what the common man can afford to buy and within range of even those earning slightly above minimum wage as a purchase option. The ones that crash significantly are all those highbrow areas. Those usually return negative yields anyway

raumdeuter:
So it's a mix. Let me give some numbers. After mortgages and payments I get like 12% before factoring in the Airbnb which can be zero on a bad month and 5100 on full occupancy for the month

12% yield looks like capitalism gone wild. Are you factoring in principal repayment in that?

Here anything above 6% is Gucci.

AirBnb is not something I would ever consider. Maybe look at your average AirBNb return over a full year to calculate the yield.

Making money you are expected to live on for the rest of your life within 10yrs and by age 35yrs is the ultimate setup

Many guys of our age that had regular 9 to 5 jobs are living a more stable life than some of those athletes friend we grew up together

There was one guy in our area he played local leagues went to African country, then some Asian league

He built his house a mansion by the time we were just entering workforce. By the time we were mid 30s he is no longer playing that's the time guys of our age are now catching up with him

Right now he is on the downward trend while those 9 to 5pm are trending upwards.

The mansion now is looking neglected and no money to keep the beauty

Cashflow is important in life. Way more important than getting a one time windfall

Yield with repayment with an eye on retirement is the way to go. I am working toward 55 myself which is 15 years away, mostly in pension but when interest rates calm down in the next 3 to 4 years, I will do a property run to bolster it. What percentage yield are you guys seeing there?

Wes Brown is the latest, despite earning £50k per week. That's £1.25m per year after tax and bro probably cleared £10m after tax in his career. £5,m in properties from that will be yielding him £25k per month now to avoid stories that touch
