How this archive is built
Transfer rows come from Sportmonks done-deal records. Manager tenure comes from our coach sync against Sportmonks plus Wikidata cross-checks. Fixture totals come from the materialised fixture archive we keep on file.
Long reads are commissioned through DragonFC, our internal commissioning platform. We pay freelance journalists to write season reviews, match deep dives and era pieces that the structured data alone can't tell.
Coverage gets deeper the closer to the present day. Older seasons may show no fixture record where the substrate doesn't reach back that far yet.
