Good luck with it, Beez! You could make a home for all the subscribers that I've been too grumpy towards 😜
The model definitely works, as I've shown since 2009, but more people coming onto Substack with paywalls all the time. But then the traffic on Substack is presumably rising overall. Will all boats rise? Then there's the streaming services, which now seem to number about 200! But if we all do something a little different, I think there will be an audience for the best writers, who stand out, and who have shown they will deliver work consistently for years.
Ps I mentioned in my piece yesterday that Man United's xG balance per game ranked 15th in the PL, at -0.33 per game, so worse than Fulham and other struggling sides. Yet the top three were all nearly inseparable. And interestingly, Slot's xG balance went from around +1.0 per game with Feyenoord when winning the league to an astonishing +2.00 per game (+1.97) last season, so improving in all areas, as well as winning the cup. Cup wins mean little unless you're a good team, or they just show you're a lucky team. United should have lost to us and Coventry on the route to the final.
(And you're obviously still free to do paid work for TTT if you're able.)
Evening Paul, just wanted to apologise for being a nuisance on TTT. I really should have been more mindful to the spirit of the community & site. No hard feelings on my behalf I understand the decision you made. All the best
If you and Josh teamed. I'm all in. If I were a very very Man City Owner I would buy you all. But Paul, TAW, Redmen and I end up in the Net Spend FSG model. Love the work Beas lad
What I can offer is AB is a bit of marketing. I'll post it now. Let me know if there is any spike for you on the share on FB. Nothing massive just a few thousand followers'
The problem with substack is that there is no all-in, or ''five author' package. I cannot afford to pay £5/month for your (brilliant) work plus the same for Josh, Nick Harris, Neil Jones and all the other great guys publishing on here. I wish you every success with it, and I'm sure you'll do pretty well, but I do not think this model is sustainable in a really scalable way going forward
Sounds great, I’d be interested. Regarding Ten Hag I must admit to having some sympathy, he’s alienated players, fans & ex-players with an at best pedestrian brand of football management & still can’t get his contract paid out & a move back to the Eerdivisie.

Thanks - yeah there's a lot of very strong competition out there for people's subscriptions!

Yes, it may be that I'm too late to the party!

I don’t think it will make you rich but like Paul I’d be willing to pay for your analysis as it’s always top quality!
I've got some wriggle room for subscriptions, so I'd probably be in.
