Football Finances

[Euler]

I often follow the finances of Football Club to give me a clue as to the general direction. It's got a lot harder in recent years because the finances of all of them are just so shot to bits.

However, somebody has vibe coded a tool that we let you look at each individual football team's finances. It's quite useful to see in this format: -

Hi,
So what you are suggesting is when a chelsea striker has an almost open goal he is going to do a quick calculation of the companies finances before he decides on a strike when he arrives at his conclusions after a quick session on perplexity

For longer term outright bets like promotion or relegation next year it's very useful, especially for the lower leagues. Who's in a position to spend and who's not? Odds for these markets can be swayed too much by current season form/sentiment and often ignore looming negatives.

Exactly. Positive minds find opportunities; negative ones problems.

I've played the relegation and promotion markets for many years very successfully on football.

No, it's simpler than that, the cost of a team has a lot to do with how good they are.

No, some people are so negative they can't see stuff that's staring them in the face, and then they wonder why they're not getting the same results.

If you do OK for a long time then it's definately not luck. The 'vast majority who don't' is an opportunity in its own right, why do they lose, and who are they losing too?

I suppose it's the old glass half empty/glass half full syndrome.
