Football Debt – Under a Microscope & From Afar

FutFanatico at related • 0 views

Everyday, a football club owner falls into the media's cross hairs for some reason or another. One of the common gripes is that Owen Owner is a no good corporate raider. Without a doubt, some investment banks and American executives fit this Barbarians at the Gate caricature perfectly. We can all thank our lucky stars that Liverpool ran out of town Gillete and Hicks before administration entered the equation.

How on earth did it come to this again? Two years ago, Portsmouth Football Club became the poster boys for football's wretched current condition when they became the first Premier League club to be nudged into administration. For all the heartache that this caused, the club was due to be getting a clean start with this move a move which, it should be remembered, sealed the club's fate with regard to relegation from the Premier League in the first place but it has only taken two years to get back to administration again, and this time the feeling in the air around Fratton Park has a distinctly fatalistic mood about it.

The Signing We Have All Waited For

After a long wait Franck Songo'o has finally been signed. This is a great signing for Portland as it adds a starter quality wing who is able to get the ball into the box and is unselfish enough to set up others. All of this bodes well for Boyd, who arrives in Portland next week, who will most likely be on the receiving end of Songo'o's assists.

Harry Redknapp was found innocent of tax evasion on Wednesday afternoon in London. The court hearing did not merely determine whether Harry Redknapp was going to find himself imprisoned, or at the very least fined and reprimanded, for tax evasion but, perhaps just as importantly, whether Harry Redknapp was still on course for the top job in English football.

Game On: Goal and Shot Ratios in the EPL

Soccer Quantified at related • 0 views
Recall from my earlier post that the 2009-10 Premiership season was unusually rich in goals. The season came within a whisker of having the most goals ever in the history of the league, and its 1,053 goals and 2.8 goals per match were among the highest ever.

So now that the first matches have been played in this year's EPL season (with the exception of Monday's Man U - Newcastle matchup), I thought it'd be useful to take a quick look at goal and shot ratios for 2009-10 to get us up to speed on how teams got there, and what this may hold for 2010-11.
