toontownman Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I do think its possible we hear rumblings about the owners test but after caulkins tweets at the start of the weekend it will take a couple of days to transfer money. So announcement by the end of the week I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Saudi Arabia has a population of 34 million, they aren't all involved in what happens in Yemen or getting rid of journalists, so people wearing tea towels isn't a big deal Defending the SA regime and attacking Hatice Cengiz is just wrong though They would be wearing the tea towels in tribute to the people who are bombing Yemen and getting rid of journalists though In your imagination bubba Give me a different explanation so Daft Geordie humour? Same way as you get pillocks dressing up as kangaroos to support Australia in cricket, or the Barmy army wearing silly costumes around the world supporting England. Not everything is meant to be taken seriously, even if it may look support for evil regimes to some eyes.I really think these people wearing tea towels are just having a laugh, I doubt their intentions are evil. Abusing Khashoggi's wife is a different level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Regarding FFP, who decides what the cap is in terms of how much a sponsor can pay for example? 2007 for example we were making more than Spurs and 2/3s of what Arsenal & Liverpool were. It’s less than 1/4 now. If the commercial income triples it’d still be 25-40% lower than those three, could we not get around FFP saying these are the figures a club like this should be getting but were held back?

TooonDoom Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I seem to recall Northern Rock over paying a few years back on the condition the money went on a player. That way they go additional value through their sponsorship. I’m guessing that sort of stuff would not be allowed. Although I guess it could be commercially argued that a company could pay 200 million over the odds with these sort of conditions meaning we went higher in the league benefiting them. I’m just making this up and it is early days, we’re not taken over and we do not know the business plan of the new owners yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hopefully our commercial revenue will sky rocket with Ashley leaving, freeing up all that advertising space all over the stadium. A new shirt sponsor and new shirt manufacturer deal. The back of Ashley might see an initial rise of merchandise sales as people re engage with the club.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Aye. The 10,000 free season-tickets were probably worth £5-6m over a full season too. I reckon ticket revenue and corporates could bring in a decent wedge if ticket prices rise to move more in line with other clubs around us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Aye. The 10,000 free season-tickets were probably worth £5-6m over a full season too. I reckon ticket revenue and corporates could bring in a decent wedge if ticket prices rise to move more in line with other clubs around us. Our ticket prices are higher than every other club around us. The only clubs more expensive than us are Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea. We're more expensive than Man City. Ashley's cheap tickets were always a bit of a myth which many people fell for. For example standard 1 year season tickets in the East Stand have increased from £596 to £811 since he bought the club and from £457 to £659 in the Gallowgate and Leazes in his time here.
