[Albion] Oligopoly - As used by GP

Change at Barnham · Apr 20, 2021

Graham Potter casually dropped the word 'Oligopoly' into his pre-match interview on Sky.
I salute you Sir!

Get the lad on Countdown.
:salute:

An oligopoly (from Greek ὀλίγος, oligos "few" and πωλεῖν, polein "to sell") is a market form wherein a market or industry is dominated by a small group of large sellers (oligopolists). Oligopolies can result from various forms of collusion that reduce market competition which then leads to higher prices for consumers and lower wages for the employees of oligopolies. Oligopolies have their own market structure.

You know damn well there was a bet that he couldn't get that word in to the interview.

Oligopoly??

These are a good word!

I always try to get the Orange ones and the stations.

Listening to his post match interview at the moment, I'm struck by how much more engaged and erudite he is when he's not being asked anodyne questions about the the performance, match etc.

Always apparent if you've heard him interviewed away from the pre and post match interviews, but nice to hear in that context.

Always a great smirk when someone lands on the hotel in Vine Street and misses the free parking kitty.

Villa get Ollie Watkins and we get Oli Gopoloy. Oh well, can he play left back?

Rereading this I'm going to claim it's self parody, since nobody can prove me wrong.

He should have said kleptocracy.

I raise you a "vigilant".

Remember the days when we were happy with an "inert" ?

This club has moved forward.

I hope we all learn from this.

I quite like the "cartel" reference GPott made as well.

From Wikipedia:
A cartel is a group of independent market participants who collude with each other in order to improve their profits and dominate the market. Cartels are usually associations in the same sphere of business, and thus an alliance of rivals. Most jurisdictions consider it anti-competitive behaviour and have outlawed such practices. Cartel behaviour includes price fixing, bid rigging, and reductions in output. The doctrine in economics that analyses cartels is cartel theory. Cartels are distinguished from other forms of collusion or anti-competitive organisation such as corporate mergers.

A cartel of prima-donna English football clubs have just taken one enormous kick in the teeth.

Graham Potter might well be the most intelligent and well educated man to ever be a manager in the EPL.

Well, It is Anzac Day on Sunday, so it’s good that he remembers that particular WWI campaign.
