So we don't get the extra revenue from increased capacity then?Do you still believe in Father Christmas, Stevee?
Righto

And the NFL, Rugby matches, Rock concerts, Joshuah fights.So we don't get the extra revenue from increased capacity then?

I bet you think I'm gonna say they pocketed it but I'm not...at least not directly. I bet they've reinvested it back into the club just like they say they have.Ok, we did receive @ £400m from CL football over, say, 4 years.
Happy?
So what happened to the £200m we didn't spend?
Thanks mate, good stuffI bet you think I'm gonna say they pocketed it but I'm not...at least not directly. I bet they've reinvested it back into the club just like they say they have.
But the problem, from a supporter's perspective, is that the reinvestment is into balance sheet items. I've no gripe with doing it as it is their choice but doing it to the neglect of the actual 'product' is my issue. I've had the same issue with the 'youth watchers' when they say how much ENIC has invested. Sure, they've invested in the training facility and hotel thingy but those things are balance sheet items and not playing staff. We aren't shelling out money for good young players because that is even more risky than 1st team player transfers.
I have no issue with DL inveting the way he does. I've always said he's never going to spend the extra 20% to get us to the top and remain there. That is a fine way to go...and I am happier supporting a team that doesn't 'buy' success. My problem is he is not doing the 80% as effectively as he could. I agree with him that big money xfers are not the thing but he also doesn't seem to have an effective scouting network in each league like other teams in order to get those players for 20M before we have to play 50-60M one year later.
Yeah, you're right.And the NFL, Rugby matches, Rock concerts, Joshuah fights.
Yes mate, of course we will
Scouting, yep agree with that.
What do you mean "act like a big club" in the market?
So we're not going to get the profits from the extra events then?
It wasn't built to enable us to compete with the extra capacity?
The revenue stream profits are going to us.
Did you even read the THST report
Yeah, you're right.
We would have been better off with your idea.
"not one brick"
Have you found those quotes I asked you for yet?:mourfacepalm:
Maybe, but we'll see.We will but what John is saying is, in his opinion, it's not going to make a damn sight of difference to the business we do on the footballing side of things in terms of purchasing players to improve the team because, like our chairman has already said, he doesn't believe that spending = success.
