As the Champions League and Europa League reach the quarter-final stage, I took a quick look at the latest available revenue and wages data for those clubs still in the competition. Some brief comparisons in the following thread.
Three clubs in the Champions League quarter-finals have over half a billion pounds revenue, led by Barcelona £612m, followed by the two Manchester clubs, #MUFC £590m and #MCFC £500m. Other English clubs: #LFC £455m and #THFC £379m. Lowest revenue by far at Ajax £81m & Porto £94m.
Barcelona £431m have by far the highest wage bill (even after excluding other sports), followed by #MUFC £296m. #LFC £264m and #MCFC £260m are closely matched, way ahead of the other English club #THFC £148m. Porto and Ajax only £75m and £47m respectively.
The English clubs have by far the highest revenue in the Europa League: #CFC £448m & #AFC £389m. Then a large gap of more than £200m to Napoli £162m, followed by Benfica £133m and Eintracht Frankfurt £103m. The two Spanish clubs, Valencia and Villarreal, are both below £100m.
It’s a similar story with Europa League wage bills, as the largest by some distance are again #CFC £244m and #AFC £223m, who pay more than twice as much as the closest challenger, Napoli £105m, followed by Valencia £77m, Benfica £60m, Villarreal £59m & Eintracht Frankfurt £45m.
Obviously, money isn’t everything, but success on the pitch usually correlates pretty well with revenue and wages. We shall soon see whether that is again reflected in this season’s Champions League and Europa League.

Leeds United’s 2017/18 accounts covered the first season under owner Andrea Radrizzani, when they finished a “disappointing” 13th in the Championship, sacking two head coaches (Thomas Christiansen & Paul Heckingbottom), before appointing Marcelo Bielsa. Some thoughts follow #LUFC
#LUFC posted a £4.3m loss, compared to a £1.0m profit the previous season, despite revenue growing £6.6m (19%) from £34.1m to £40.7m and profit on player sales doubling from £9m to £18m, due to “investment in both player registrations and salaries and scouting expenses”.
The main reason for #LUFC £6.6m revenue growth was a £5.5m (33%) increase in commercial income to £21.8m (catering, merchandising and the Selby-Warrington boxing fight), though gate receipts also rose £1.1m (11%) to £11.3m. Broadcasting was flat at £7.7m.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2017/18 financial results covered a season when they finished 3rd in the Premier League and reached the last 16 of the Champions League and the FA Cup semi-finals. Home games played at Wembley, while new stadium was being developed. Some thoughts follow #THFC
#THFC profit before tax improved by £87m from £52m to £139m, as revenue rose by £71m (23%) to £381m and profit on player sales was up £33m to £73m. New club records for both revenue and profit. Profit after tax “only” increased by £77m from £36m to £113m.
All three #THFC revenue streams increased: commercial rose £33m (43%) from £76m to £109m; match day was up £26m (57%) from £45m to £71m, due to the larger capacity at Wembley; while broadcasting was £13m (7%) higher at £201m, due to advancing further in the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain’s 2017/18 financial results cover a season when they won every domestic completion, including Ligue 1 for the 5th time in 6 years, but were eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16. Some thoughts in the following thread #PSG
#PSG were acquired in 2011 by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), a subsidiary of Qatar's sovereign wealth fund Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), making the club by far the richest in France and one of the wealthiest in the world. Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the club’s chairman and CEO.
Pre-tax #PSG went from a €19m loss to a €40m profit, a €59m improvement. Revenue (DNCG definition) rose €54m (11%) from €503m to a record high of €557m, while profit on player sales shot up €132m to €145m. This was partially offset by significant cost growth.

It's been 20 years since Steven Gerrard's Liverpool debut. Aside from being the greatest midfielder to ever grace the Premier League, he was also one of the most complete players in the history of the sport.

A thread.
17 years as a senior pro at Liverpool
710 apps
186 goals
115 assists
Most CL goals in the clubs history (30)
114 England caps in the golden generation
1 x CL trophy
2 x FA Cups
3 x league cups
1 x UEFA cup
21 England goals
12 years as Liverpool captain (since the age of 23)
The only player in history to score in an FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and UEFA Cup Final(also winning on each occasion). The big stage wasn't for many but he was so often the man who made the difference.

He lived for the big occasions.

The third day of Kavanaugh hearings is underway. Booker is currently telling the committee he'll release some emails that have been marked "committee confidential." (Feel free to mute this thread.)
Cornyn just described Booker's announcement as "outrageous" and compared it to releasing classified information.
Cornyn, to Booker: Running for president is "not an excuse to violate the rules of the committee."

BREAKING! CIG have filed their response to the latest SAC filed by CryTek.

docdroid.net/N0hyv2e/031128…

I took a quick look; and will delve into it briefly now.
TL;DR

Dec 2017: CryTek sues CIG/RSI for a litany of things which all but guarantee to put them out of business

Jan 2018: CIG answers suit, and files a Motion To Dismiss (MtD) all of it

Aug 2018: Judge rules on the MtD

Chronology:

dereksmart.com/forum/index.ph…
A few days ago, after the judge ruled on the MtD, Crytek filed an amended (SAC) complaint as per the judge's guidance in her ruling.

I covered the MtD ruling and the SAC (updated at bottom of article below) here:

Omega prince Jimin is the prettiest omega in royalty who has tons of suitors, but none have managed to steal his heart.

His personal body guard, Alpha Min Yoongi has one motto :

"If they want to get the fairest, they have to go through the fiercest."
i'm starting this !

- do not reply to the thread, just rt w comment

- if you spot any similarities with other works, it is by pure coincidence as im not some bitch who steals the fruit of other's hard work.

"YOOOOOONGIIIIIII-" Jimin grinned when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps came nearer and nearer.

An alpha in his usual dark suit appeared in the doorway of Jimin's grand luxurious room. "WHAT- WHO- DID SOMEBODY HURT YOU?" He was almost out of breath since he

So you might have heard that Facebook has suspended #CambridgeAnalytica and Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL) for fraudulent use of #data extending back to 2015. newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/03/s… Here's how to check your privacy and ad settings on @facebook. A thread.
Anyone that uses Facebook has probably given permission to an app at some stage. Maybe you use FB to sign into other sites, or you wanted to see some future predictions for fun. That's grand, but they retain access to your data even after you stop using them. Here's how to review
First go to your drop down menu & click Settings. Then click Apps. Review these carefully. For e.g. I use Kickstarter and 9gag frequently so those are grand, but see the ones like Klout and Giveaway widget? I'll want to remove permissions for those, even if only I can see posts.

Thread -> In publicity for his new book on depression, Johann Hari has repeatedly made the following claim: "between 65 and 80% of people on antidepressants are depressed again within a year". He says it in this extract: theguardian.com/society/2018/j…
Here he is saying it in a video, right at the start:
Disgracefully, no source is given for this alarming claim. Maybe there's one in his book, which comes out tomorrow. In the meantime, I took a quick look at the recent(ish) meta-analyses of research on relapse rates after/during antidepressant use.
