Selling corporate boxes won't solve our problems, end of. The box's are already set up with table and chairs. They just need plates, cutlery and the lights switching. Each box has a very young waiter/waitress to serve them who is on the minimum wage. The food is bought wholesale and mass produced. There are no more overheads, its a very simple thing to set up. The club also make a heavy mark up on drinks prices which are additional to the cost of the box. The point is if you sell the 30 box's at lets say 25k (thats about 60% less than what DC wants for them) thats an income of 750k with further spin offs from good business people.

There's a specific thread about this.. but I'm useless at finding them. My small part was pointing out exactly how you can make a profit in this kind of setup.

It just doesn’t make sense. Certainly an enormous gamble on an ageing manager on £2M pa, and his two backroom boys, being brought in ( we already have a departed manager to pay off and have recruited a CEO as well) when when get a statement of poverty and implied selling of players. Also takes us back in our minds to the squandering of money on over the hill recruits on big wages and our ignorance about who was responsible. Not healthy to have an organisation where nobody is taking responsibility for identifying the so called talent and deciding on their wages.

Yes I know but some fans still don't get the fact that DC is pulling the wool over their eyes by saying the box's were making a loss before he came in.

theowlsman Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Well done for putting it out there Mr C. ps - I have no idea what points he is trying to make. Effective communications are short, unambiguous, and address clear objectives. This is just a rambling monologue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. But it was after that that the club started spending money on ageing or partly crocked players on bigger wages, ruining the team spirit, and it did not finish with Rhodes, who incidentally had hardly scored double figure goals in two previous years, but went on to Jones and then Boyd. The club has needed management, badly, and now it's pretty well ruined for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 When's early bird for new ST's start? Just carry on regardless. We really have no influence on what happens.

I haven’t seen Bielsa’s press conference but gave you a LOL anyway Hooky. Been busy these last few evenings reading about Disclosure, our need to fight aliens in outer space with advanced technology that can traverse galaxies, and that we’ve had for years, and Trump’s pending indictment of 60,000 Shadow Government operatives who are in bed with the lizard aliens including the Clintons All fascinating stuff. I think Neil needs to up his game with this site to compete. Edited January 17, 2019 by theowlsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not con men.... they're (largely) millionaires that want to play games and rub shoulders with their like. That's why the interface with the supporters is usually horrendous. I think the owner has done his best to keep communication lines open... but he's bellowing across the vacuum of space. The international language of money breaks down when you're scraping for a season ticket... there's a massive disconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
