Athelwulf Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 With all this talk of our best players being sold, would you sanction paying more to give the club more financial leeway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I thought the club had already asked the same question, and got the response they wanted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) I'd rather the club was more sensible with the income it already receives. If Mr Chansiri is insistent on playing by the FFP (P&S), then we can ill afford to pish away millions on players we seemingly have had no intention of playing. Increasing ticket prices to give us this so-called breathing space would simply be supporters paying for recent recruitment mistakes. Afraid those mistakes should be footed by the Chairman.

latemodelchild Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 We are already paying more I think. I'd rather sell players who are stealing a wage like abdi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 As a collective yes, as an individual no. I don't think enough fans go through the gate, buy from the club shop etc. I see people with unofficial merchandise and I ask them where they bought it.......when I say that's not actually being a supporter buying a mug, a mousemat, a scarf etc from a dodgy website they don't understand.

Buddy Repperton Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I know! I'll go and ask my boss to pay me extra per week so I can help a billionaire running his football club & I'll skip a few meals. The kids will have to go without too but decent players cost money! Hope this helps Mr Chansiri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 I've criticized Chansiri savagely for hanging on to Carlos for too long, but not for the pricing. It's not his fault that ex-PL outfits are inflating the market, nor that there isn't a larger fan base buying replica shirts outside this region. That's about history. The only realistic means of upping turnover is to increase ticket prices, which allows him to spend more. It's grossly unfair, but that's football these days. We'd all like to see the likes of Abdi sold, but who'll buy him? The only players likely to leave are those we want to keep. We've got positive proof of what we are without Bannan, FF etc. Bob. If upping prices allowed us to retain what we have and add the couple we need to finally get over the line, then personally I'd take it. Or we could be a mid-table outfit with the current pricing.

Yes but the question is would you pay more to stave off FFP ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, are we at a crossroads? Make or break? I mean, pay more and get over the line, or stick with the current pricing (which is still high) and fall away?
