Some forward looking figures for Bournemouth. Assuming £25 million loss for FFP 18/19 (£32 million accounts loss) and 19/20 plus estimated lost income and current rules. Best estimate is that they will comply easily in 2020/21 then the pain really begins to hit. More about the overall problems faced than the individual detail.

Yes, that first year down, isn’t the problem, it’s the ones after that, especially if they have a poor season first up. They start to lose players, can’t attract players, but still have a big wage bill. They need to sell the likes of Ake for good money and recruit well for significantly less.

A 233% sales increase one week to the next. That's astonishing... 2 caps last week; 1 cap and a shirt this week with 50% off? Did that make the inside back page?

I hate running with a passion but enjoy taking part in events. I've done 3 halfs and a 10k. I'm always near the back but for me the achievement is finishing the race, for me it's all about the bling and that sheer adrenaline rush of crossing that finishing line. I am signed up to do the Dublin Marathon this year, my first marathon, however I am pulling out. I started my training well and did the Bristol 10k, I then switched to the gym and the treadmill to continue my training for convenience reasons, I did the Swansea half and had real trouble completing it due to having extreme pain in my calves. I think it was all the pounding the treadmill that did them in. I'm devastated to be pulling out as I feel like a failure but the Swansea half had really affected me as a runner I spent a little while running with during the race passed away before the finish line. That has made me realise just how dangerous competing is and it's put me off for the time being. It took my calves a good 6-8 weeks for them to recover so I decided it would be wise to not do the Dublin Marathon and give myself a full year to prepare for it. Was hoping to get a London place but again no luck in the ballot. This year has been an incredibly tough year for me, I've had numerous bereavements, life has changed forever but doing the Bristol 10k and Swansea half really did help, it gave me something to focus on and for me it was a part of the grieving process.
