Yet it won’t be difficult to attain that you don’t need to break the bank to finish 13th, as this ridiculous statement from our esteemed Chairman claims. If you look at Huddersfield when they were promoted then I think after bonuses they were in the top 4 making losses that season. Brentford are propped up by their chairman on the basis of redeveloping where their stadium is currently. None of our players ever earned 40k plus but apart from all that your post was spot on.

Guest Arnold Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 He should have waited until the transfer window was over for this statement. Showing other clubs how desperate we are, will not bring the best bids for players we want to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toppOwl Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Mountain Owl said: 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. Total and utter over simplified nonsense, there's bar staff, security, cooks (unless this wholesale food cooks itself), cleaners, waiters, the food is eaten in the main suites not the boxes so you have about 50 tables to dress etc. There's a drinks allowance with anything over settled on the day.

DC said he had severed links with them , BUT one of their main men , Paxo is DC`s right hand man at Hillsbro. He's not working for the subsidiary of Doyen that he was working for, it was wound up in 2016, he's directly employed by DC.

All he's done is confuse the fanbase and if it's a sideswipe at the EFL ..god help us.

Oh hang on the make a loss silly me LOL. All about opinions, in football terms he is inexperienced. And yes of course I have seen his other statements. He has to walk a fine line on what he says in a competitive landscape. Overall it is my opinion, which is on the whole positive, yes some mistakes, but mainly due to inexperience. Anyway we have what we have so until we get a Abramovich or similar we carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is usually in the middle/midlands. I can't take the credit for that mate as I would never have suggested Lampard for our job. I thought it was a gamble on Derby's part as he was an unknown entity in management but would have strong contacts for advice and loan players. He has got them playing a good style of football but they are suspect out of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps I do t mean you are a moron, I mean ness the person running that part of the business is a moron £25,000 a season based on over say 30 matches if you include cup games, works out at £833 a match, the boxes hold up to 12 people so around £70 a head for hospitality, waitress service, programme, match ticket in good seats, three course meal and tea and coffee. Its not gonna make anyone a millionaire. A report by Swiss Ramble who is a football financial expert (he can be found on Twitter) found that over the past decade 87% of a clubs cash came from the chairman with just 7% from all operational activities. Its available on line to read. The worth of boxes has been totally over egged on here by some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
