Guest Deleted member Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 24 boxes at Hillsborough If they had been sold at £500 ea tonight, with a pie and peas meal, no drinks allowance they would have sold out. £12k against FFP. Not even put them on sale I understand. Can't understand it. It's an asset we aren't using. If we had launched our shirt earlier in the summer, even without stripes, wed have sold 20k (more of it was stripes). Another £1.1m - lost for now It's OK complaining to the fans in club statements that he's got to make the prices what they are. But when they sold next to no boxes or corporate packages last season - how many more was he expecting to sell by ramping the prices up again? It really makes no sense at all. And that's why the statement worries me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are (mis)managing a business losing £10-£15m a year you cannot afford to ignore any profit...drop in the ocean or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look - you might be eventually be right, but I think to be writing the clubs obituary already is a bit premature. Surely the fact that Chansiri is mindful of FFP should be seen as a positive? If he so mindfull of FFP, why is he not doing everything in his power to maximise revenue streams?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams in this division will be running at a loss without parachute payments. Doesn't make it right but there is little way of competing without overspending. The gamble will pay off for some and not for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthinrob Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Killing time in the pub before the game, son delayed from Manchester so playing catch up on here. Does every f*******n thread have to end up as a whine about everything to do with the club. Even the Matchday thread has turned into a CC whine. Can't we have a mega whine thread where it all goes into one place. Only trouble is, at the moment there would be no other threads or posts. Maybe re name it Owlswhinge. Cue the very predictable & over used "moaning about moaners" come back. It is getting a bit out of hand though!!! Talk about negativity breeding more negativity.

And reading back for the origin of the comment might be helpful for you...against the background of almost inevitably overspending you would think that no business would turn-away the relatively easy money of the exec-boxes which was the gamble referred to in the earlier post.
