I haven't defended him. I'm clearly just asking anyone to clarify whether this is profitable for the club or not. I did defend some stuff with corney because not everything was his fault and you were one of the anyone but corney brigade. How has that worked out for you now we have this muppet in charge?

deyres42 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Sometimes it is not about making a profit, its about making sure your paying customers can get something proper to eat and drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Corney the man who said he'd only sell to the right man, that went well didn't it? Corney wasn't my cup of tea and should never of been left holding the baby but I've given him some credit on more than one occasion for knowing when to bring players/managers in and leaving them to get on with what they do best playing for and managing the team, this double act though are on a whole new level and it's scary the damage they could do to the club. Just because I was generally right about Corney you shouldn't use it as a stick to beat me with, we previously had one of the most inept chairman in the football league the fact he somehow managed to sell to someone worse shouldn't be celebrated in any way.

singe Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The point about the FLG is that they are looking to finish the North stand off which will increase the revenue and swaps a passive distant landlord to an active local one. We'd have to look at the figures in greater detail before knowing exact income or liability we cannot be certain. Time for the owner to show his cahones and show exactly what the issues are. Otherwise many will assume they are minor and it's merely another strop because he hasn't got his own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could put that cash in and pocket some from elsewhere I agree but some control of where their money goes is better than no control. If it was me I would also do the same as the OEC / FLG (who I do believe have the best interests of the club at heart) and use the rent payment as an early indicator i.e. if he is paying me rent then he is likely paying other bills to. If the current owner and tenant has nothing to hide and his intentions are good then please for the sake of our club sit down with the FLG and work this stupidity out. To wilfully miss out on the corporate box money and provide a disgraceful level of fan experience around the ground can only backfire on him and thus on all of us.

The two are by no means incompatible. And if we were a professionally run club, with revenue from catering being properly accounted for and being ploughed back into the playing budget, nobody would complain. Hell, if the transparency was there and you could see that food sales were going back into the squad, I wouldn't even mind having to pay a premium for a burger (provided it was warm and edible!).

I couldn't give a shit if it costs them money to be honest, at a professional football club you just make sure that the lights are switched on and there are adequate food and drink facilities available.

It is, isn’t it? They’re offering the same deal (plus the 4%) as previous seasons but with a guaranteed income that’s higher than the kiosks have previously produced and the potential offer of donating other profit in the future.

Agree, and frankly if you can't turn a profit selling bulk purchases pies for £3 then you're past helping. We know it's overpriced but we don't mind paying so long as it's helping the club. I'll bring my own if it's impossible to get served or I think the money will be pissed away but I'd rather be giving it to buy players with.
