sadoldgit Posted 30 June, 2015 Share Posted 30 June, 2015 I'll take your word re' the Scott Trust, I know a few people that now work in their commercial department and they have a cushty life "profit seeking, not profit dependent". Guardian have, and have always had, a brilliant web strategy as well, Mail online the only UK site close to them in terms of traffic (as you know, mostly due to pay walls). The Guardian get some decent global ad' revenues as their site is extremely popular in the US. As for broadsheet/ tabloid ad' revenues, that may have been the case a long way back but in my first hand knowledge going back to 2003 I know for a fact that page yields in the Sun are approx 3x the Times and their ad' revenues have been propping up the Times for at least the last 10 years internally at News Int'/ UK. I also know that (using a simple analogy) Vauxhall/ Ford pay a LOT more to advertise ROP in the Sun than Mercedes/ BMW do in the Times (as well at car brands this is true across Travel, FMCG, Finance any any other vertical)! Back in pre internet days when the Times had a huge classified section this may have been different, but print buying agencies see as much value in a Sun reader as a Times reader, just target the right product to hit their profile. Desmond has taken the Express/ Star to pieces though, absolute rags these days. Heard some proper horror stories about him and his right hand man Stan from people that have worked at N&S! I left The Guardian in 2000 and I know things have changed a lot since then. I was in the Circulation Dept and that was the beginning of moving the emphasis to online from print (hence why I and many of my sales team were moved out). We had worked hard to get the figures up from around 250k to approaching 500k just before The Independent was launched so as a print man it is sad to see the figures back around the 250k mark again.

Sour Mash Posted 30 June, 2015 Share Posted 30 June, 2015 The thing is I can't see Schneiderlin being happy staying with us for another year. And we're potentially missing out on our first choice replacements for him. There'll come a point soon enough, we might have to lower our asking price.

sadoldgit Posted 30 June, 2015 Share Posted 30 June, 2015 Well I think we should have a campaign for responsible sports journalism. It's all just about WI Coffee Morning gossip level now.

sadoldgit Posted 30 June, 2015 Share Posted 30 June, 2015 Do people still actually buy newspapers? Yeah but a lot fewer in the last few years. I don't buy papers anymore but will pick one up in a café where there are freebies around and read it. I have three kids, 18,17 and 16 years old and I don't think they have read a paper between them though sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're potentially missing out on our first choice replacements for him. There'll come a point soon enough, we might have to lower our asking price. Well, he will have to like it or lump it, really. If the top clubs won't offer a price we can accept he will just have to wait it out until his contract runs down. If he was that set on joining a Champions League club he should have insisted on appropriate release clauses before he signed his last contract. I can't see him going on strike as that would send him out of the France squad pretty pronto, as would a bad drop in form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's a case of making Man U come closer to 25m if we value him at 30m. They might have only offered 15-20m. It's all speculation though, hence we're writing it on a forum.

Also we are just filing in time as there is no transfer news worth talking about right now Well there is transfer news but in Portugal and Italy where prices are seemingly reasonable and don't change every 30 seconds or so. Take the case of Gervinho (same agent as Morgan incidentally). Set up a deal to go from AS Rome to Al Jazira or something, all going smoothly then the knob starts demanding a helicopter, unlimited tickets from wherever it is to Abidjan,a mansion and a private beach...to which the club replied with a resounding ferk off.

FloridaMarlin Posted 30 June, 2015 Share Posted 30 June, 2015 Interesting that quite a few people on here are ready to castigate journos like Alex Crook as being peddlers of lies, half-truths and mischievous mis-information as it appears in a tabloid newspaper like The Star, but are quite happy to accept a punted story from Sky Sports News. Sky Sports News - along with BBC Sport - relies largely on the same sources for their stories as tabloid newspapers, freelances, agency copy and the wire services provided by the Press Association, Reuters and Associated Press, among others. The difference is how they use the information. It's part of the BBC ethos to check stories for their veracity and reliability and they do this for the vast majority of stories (I won't say all stories, because the Beeb has been caught out like any media organisation could be). The BBC would rather be second with a story and accurate, whereas SSN's ethos is always to be first with the story, and as a result are quite happy to have a punt on a story. Anybody who works in the industry knows that SSN are not 100% reliable, but because they are big and shout the loudest, the public tend to overlook this. That affects the journalists who work for SSN. A lot of people have jaundiced views of them but no journalist (certainly none that I know) wants to publish an inaccurate or untrue story, and will always try and verify their story if they can. Very often, because of their employer's desire to be first, they are not given the scope to do this. If the roles were reversed and The Star has the story that Man Utd could be turning their attentions away from Morgan, and SSN ran the story about him training with U21s, which one would you find more credible?

Back to Morgan, as above, one offer under £25M declined. ManYou not back with second offer, so now a stalemate. Poker face time. Problem is with no money in from this sale yet, and not being 100% certain it will go through after all, it may be considered unwise to bring in replacements. There are no other bidders so we can accept Man U offer now, accept whatever they offer on transfer deadline day (may be less then), or negotiate now for an immediate agreement to bring cash in.

hutch Posted 30 June, 2015 Share Posted 30 June, 2015 As I am sure you will know, circulation isn't the main driver for nationals, it is the readership profile. The "broadsheet" papers have never sold anywhere near the red tops but don't need to because they make more money from advertising. The Guardian's circulation figures have fallen back to what they used to be some time ago but the Scott Trust don't bail them out, the Trust is there to ensure that The Guardian remains to paper that CP Scott wanted it to be. The sole purpose of the Trust is to secure the financial and editorial independence of The Guardian. There is no Murdoch looking over the shoulder of the Editor telling them which Party to support. Long may that continue. I'm sure the Trust must be very busy these days, now that the Guardian accepts "sponsorship" for running news articles. All without any conflict of interest whatsoever, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines a bit, I'm sure things were said last year along the lines of "sure, if a Champions League side comes in for you and matches our valuation of you, we'll let you leave, but you're not going to Spurs this summer". As things stand, none of the 4 clubs who qualified for the Champions League have made an offer that matches our valuation (whether that's £25m, £30m or somewhere in between, depending on who you believe) - hopefully he is a bit more measured dealing with the situation this summer, as I don't expect Man United to just hand over the asking price immediately. He's probably going to have to be very patient. In the meantime, I'd be very surprised if we weren't already setting up deals elsewhere - with the club's cashflow boosted in May with the PL prize money, it shouldn't be a case of not having the cash to do deals until we sell.
