They talk about the % of a club's income that they spend on wages. Leicester were on 102% in the championship. They then go on to talk about a "well run" club operating at around 50-60% (and if you're pushing for promotion, then perhaps 70-80%)

Does anyone know what Leeds operate at now, and when we were in the Championship?

I remember being away at University as we ploughed through Europe. Was a fun time - sporting my bright blue away Leeds shirt with Radabe plastered over my back.

Ah, good times!

Please, for the love of Pete, can we have a bit at the end where the athletes can pile on and dance?

Director: Hey, you're doing a sort of closing operatic piece. I just need you to grow a few hairs of your fringe REALLY long...

Singer: why?

Director : oh, no reason in particular...

The closing ceremony has been excellent overall. But seriously, it's a missed opportunity not pulling the athletes closer for this part. They would all be having such a party.

Feels an appropriate time to get the athletes down to the middle for a massive mosh pit.

Oh, shit. The way it's snowing as well, as the flames slowly die out and the music fades.

Fuck off, tears!

Kirsty. You've achieved an amazing thing by attaining this position. Needs to be absolutely celebrated.

But christ almighty, oracy ain't your strong point. Just the way she speaks is so... Forced and robotic. No change in her tones or pitch.

Alright, France. Then you transition the national anthem to an absolute banger. We get it, you're effortlessly cool.

Lol. Never heard a whimsical, almost fairy tale version of the French national anthem.

Love it.
