There isn’t a common denominator.Zulu said:Firstly, this season, average home attendance for us is 20,237..... Millwall is 16,716. which is a difference of 3,521, now, monetarily that would relate to a rough guide of an extra 1.6 million pounds in ticket sales per season- giving a rough ticket value of 20 pounds. Now, we all know that ticket sales is not the total net value, but 1.6 million is not to be sniffed at.
A few years ago, i commented that we seem to create a lot more value in our players (either via purchases or academy) in our sales than Millwall, when we had the likes of Lookman,Gomez,Pope,Burstow,Aribo,Parker.... the list is almost endless, whereas Millwall have produced not a lot through recent times that were sold on for reasonable money.
However, this seems to have reversed over the past couple of seasons, in that we dont seem to buy or have players coming through the Academy that could be sold on for good money, whereas Millwall, have sold the likes of Flemming,Tanganga etc and have (generally purchased) players who are now worth quite a lot of money (in my valuation) , Azeez,Crama,Mitchell,Taylor,Sturge? for example.
This also seems to have exacerbated in the current window, when Millwall are bringing in the likes of Bannon, whereas we go and get Stockports 3rd choice right back and Gateshead goalie !!
What appears to be the common denominator?...........Steve Gallen .The players you listed were our youth players gallen didn’t recruit them to play in the first team did he2 -

Nathan Jones right now:SELR_addicks said:Surely heads must roll with the loaning out of both Apter and Olaofe only 6 months after spending significant fees on them?
Another one, Knibbs, can barely get in the side.
If we stay up, and I think we can, he'll be claiming he did it against all odds when he has hampered himself by signing players that aren't good enough.
He needs help in that department, whether he wants it or not. No successful team operates this way in 2026.0 -
To be fair Clarke looks decent. Let’s hope (because that’s all we have) the others shine too.Sword65pf said:Not really seeing the benefit of Chappell at the moment.2
