Sulberto21 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I still want the theme park though. We can have the MON rollercoaster ride which literally stops dead near the top. The haunted horror show house thingy can be called 'the phoney doctor's house of frauds'..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess just never tidied up from the original purchase. PS - Chelsea would be so screwed if Abramovich got bored. Meanwhile Spurts have painted themselves into a corner.

I think we all know the reason why they sold the stadium to themselves, as every other club in the Championship at the time was looking at the same thing. The stadium must count towards something financing wise? Accounts etc Selling it counted towards FFP through a loophole now closed. Upgrading or building a new stadium doesn’t not count towards it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be absolutely fine as long as there's no sort of unexpected and unprecedented event that causes a sudden jolt to their income stream. Ah. (In fairness, they've already taken steps and restructured their debt to some sort of bond scheme that gives them security in terms of paying it back - it's almost entirely stadium debt too rather than operating debt. As long as football (and by football I mean football the TV show) doesn't collapse, they've got a pretty sensible plan in place.) Chelsea on the other hand.....

Yeah, as stated above they've done a ton of work at Bodymoor Heath. They lost a big chunk of it to HS2 so had to rebuild and reconfigure at lot of it, for which we were handsomely rewarded by HS2.

Tayls Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Was that taken at the end of last championship season, going by the line at the bottom? Are we in debt now after the first season in the prem? Edited January 22, 2021 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as the rule seems to be that you get to make up all the results following a phantom goal I'm going to declare England winners of the 2010 World Cup. If you’re doing that though you’ll have to disallow the goal against Trinidad where Crouch pulls the defender’s hair and England don’t even get out of the group.

Good question, I’d imagine our finances would look different this year. Loss of revenue through covid etc. How would that effect us going forward? Who knows. The owners are still committed by the looks of it and it looks like we *might* finish this season so we get the main jackpot in TV money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was something they HAD to do, because of the FPP requirement. The only way round our problems, largely caused by the Xia years, was to 'artificially' increase the money coming into the club. I'm certain that when circumstances allow, they'll get it back into the club's hands somehow. It really doesn't matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HalfTimePost Posted January 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Didn't know where to post this, but it's clear to everybody that we have a plan in investing in young, talented players. It's an obvious enough plan that any club would try. - we tried ourselves with no success at all at the start of Lamberts era. It appears to be working though, such an exciting time for the club. Like I said, nothing new here, just nice to see it visually and others picking it up and NSWE, Purslow and more recently Lange deserve a lot of credit as well as JT and Dean Edited January 24, 2021 by HalfTimePost 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTed Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Does anyone have any idea what TV money is awarded per place finished in the league? Or a rough estimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a rough estimate? It is £2m per place for the merit award going from £38m down from the Champions. Then there are all the add on’s but the differential from say 6th to 7th is £2m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
