Hes put about £14k on the price I think- sell them all at the new price and we net an extra £280k per year. Leta say we make an extra £15 per shirt now we're making them 'in house'. If we sell 5000 shirts that's an extra £75k So there's 2 big bones of contention there, that have managed to pisss a lot of people off for the sake of £355k a year, or to put it another way, Fletcher's wagers between now and Christmas. Worth it? Fletcher's definitely worth it as will be proven when Rhodes gets dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think that (about being badly advised) but then he got rid of all the advisors, but hasn't he got rid of them all now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Rumbelows must have misread your post there I thought you wanted a club named who were keeping prices down and still keeping it "real" know a lot of city fans through work and they are well happy with where they are and what they pay for merchandise and games etc my error sorry..

Guest We Shall Overcome Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I have to admit we have the best Owners in our history, nobody can ever question that, the only thing i would disagree with was the "Quality of the coaching" until he addresses, that we will be stuck in the EFL.

No problem. People will willingly pay for quality. I think we've seen that ourselves since we improved the side- but there's a limit to what you can charge in the Championship- particularly when it comes to corporate. You can't just hike the prices on the premise that we're trying to our hardest to get to the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whats going off behind the scenes but something is wrong, the manager should breed confidence, positivity and use an iron fist at times then people around him might take notice, not sure that CC is a strong enough character, wish we could succeed under him but i am at my lowest expectations following pre season and Saturday.

There are plenty of examples of chairmen that have thrown huge sums at the club and its not necessarily paid off, especially in the premiership. I think that despite not achieving promotion in 2 years we have done fairly well despite missing two good opportunities. We at least did create those opportunities and only in part due to the money spent. What Huddersfield achieved is enough momentum to get them over the line similar to us in year 1, hopefully the patience of the fans and consequently the chairman won't hinder any progress we have made. I'm not saying Carlos is untouchable, he should be given at least some time to show improvement this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlicer Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I genuinely think that he would do it all himself as the rewards in the premiership would be worth it for him. As someone has said though he's a savvy businessman but not yet quite a savvy football business man. The errors that have been made unfortunately need rectifying. But it's not a case of doing them overnight. I fully believe that he will get us there. I put what I can into the football club and nothing more by whatever means I can. Whether that's a few games a season or every game for the duration of the season. According to that that's all he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've gone stale. Same players, same manager, same tactics. If CC is to remain in a job he needs to freshen/shake things up a bit- if he's capable.
