Club matchday revenue, 23/24 Real Madrid's new Bernabeu project is a literal game changer. Only really Barca's Camp Nou redevelopment will be able to compete. #footballfinance

Would genuinely like to know how many fans legitimately want offside calls like this to be given

Premier League net spend since 2016: - Man Utd over 1 Billion - City's recent youth sales offset Pep's big early spending - Arsenal ramped up after Arteta joined - Liverpool lowest net spend in big six - by a significant distance #premierleague #transfers

What does publishing look like in 2025 and does Bluesky have a role in it? I don't know and no-one else does either, but I've tried to make an educated guess as to what it's in store for journalism next year:

The market has never been more precarious for traditional and independent publishers alike, but it's not all bad news - for now

Pep delaying and delaying his decision on his future has absolutely had a drastic negative impact on his team. He makes it all about him, on a pretty regular basis, in every aspect. Just like the performative post-match nonsense last night. #Pep

I'm quoted in the BBC with @footballtransfers.bsky.social talking about Manchester City's transfer business in recent years, and around who they might decide to sign - if anyone - in January #transfers #mancity

Reading a about how Bluesky is still 'miles away' from Twitter's '335m' users. It's bullshit - below is every comments section. There's millions of bots interacting in precisely the same way; another reason why the thing is totally unusable. People need to stop parroting patently wrong numbers.

It must be increasingly difficult for the NYT among others to report this shit completely on the level

Have written about the cesspit that Twitter has become, and why news publishers should get the hell out of there, to let the lunatics run that particular asylum #Twitter

The Guardian is right: Twitter is post-truth, and sports publishers should ignore it
The platform is now built purely for clout and paid-for engagement, where controversies are all fabricated, and continuing to cover them damages news itself

There is literally no long-term benefit for a news brand to be posting on Twitter. It'd be like trying to befriend 4Chan moderators in 2015
