If say 10k people took up the 5 year plan, great, huge wad of money for the current season, but if you don't get promoted in that next season, then you have no cash coming in from those 10k for the next four years. Absolute madness. yeah, not sustainable if the club wants to increase revenue then we need to get it from tons of events and sponsorships etc., I can't this scheme increasing revenue that much to make any difference aren't pretty much all champ clubs in debt anyway? it's a daft situation Edited January 22, 2019 by jomaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy 1867 £455 Season ticket £455 sub total = £910............................. but................(Drumroll) You get a free season ticket when we get to the Prem! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danblakemore Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 To elaborate further from my FFP comment. Don't get me wrong, it's a batshit idea by anyone's standards. But I can't help thinking we can't solely blame the chairman for this, his arm has been twisted to do something daft because of the FFP rules. The same rules that have done sod all to Bolton, Brum, Bournemouth and others... Why can't we compete financially with premier League clubs if we have the money? Wolves, Brighton did... Daft idea, daft FFP rules... Another nail in the coffin for football. EPL2 will be around the corner no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t want to build a sustainable championship club, he just wants another go on the roulette table with us in his search of owning a premier league club. And the only way he can have another go is with supporters getting him out of a mess he has caused with his abysmal transfer policy. Much as i like Chansiri as a chairman this has more than a grain of truth in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It forces teams that have been in this league a few years to spend, it isn't a level playing field to start with. Leeds and Utd seem to be coping rather well. Its not all about how much cash you have. Remember Hudders, Brighton and i think Cardiff......did they have parachute payments? A wise transfer policy and good management is too underrated.

Woodie Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It’s not like we are a yoyo premier league side we have been out of the top flight 20 years and now can’t spend a penny on our aging , over paid squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clud17 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Another example of DC living in a bubble. Does he not realise that most of our fan base can only just about afford next years season ticket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest and QPR were too. No one here was upset for them, especially QPR, when they were signing players like Julio Cesar. Its the rules. Its protected clubs from going into admin like they were in previous years. It creates sustainability and the idea that you have to mould your squad. Buy and sell. Be smarter. The main thing that is qrong in my opinoion is that clubs thats have broken the rules and got promoted haven't been punished enough. Its wrong. But personally were only in a potential soft embargo so looks like we're getting off lightly. Our own fault. No one forced us to spend and not sell. Unsustainable way to run a club thats come back to bite us on the arse and looks like the fans will be the ones expected to dig us out of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Hudders, Brighton and i think Cardiff......did they have parachute payments? A wise transfer policy and good management is too underrated. Exactly this. Parachute payments haven’t helped Bolton, Blackburn, Reading, Portsmouth, Blackpool and many more, they’ve added to there issues because they tried to keep spending and then there debts really spiralled out of control. We are lucky we are capped at this 40m ish mark because if it was higher our problems could be worse. Look at teams in the premier league... Watford, Wolves, Leicester, Bournemouth, Brighton, Palace, Southampton, Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield all weren’t receiving parachute payments when they gained promotion. Says it all really.

Waddlesdiamondlights Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 2 hours ago, Dave DJ said: So I’m slightly confused. I already bought a 5yr extension to my current 3yr season ticket that ends this season. So what it’s saying is I’ll get a 15% discount off the total price I paid for the 5yrs or is it 15% per season if I then pay another £2275 for the Club 1867 membership? For a “free” 5yr season ticket IF we hit the premier league? We are going to need rachael riley to pop down to explain this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Am I reading the 1867 idea right I can purchase a one year deal and for every season we are in the championship until promotion so say 10 years I get a discount off my season ticket every single year not just 1 year. This is going to cost the club a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get what your saying, but to counter argue for both sides of the argument,no one will be stopping Huddersfield spending she's loads of they wanted, with the very real prospect they'll be in our league next season.
