We will sit 3/4 up the table for eternity Not at all. We've increased revenue by 40% in each of the last two years. That's absolutely massive growth, we'll catch up with the heavy hitters sooner rather than later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I attended Shieldfield more often for the speedway than the football. Pitch inside the race track, a la Gateshead didn't help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap we have to bridge is huge and only way we compete is due to these deals which I appreciate are unpopular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so we need the income from sponsoring the iconic stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it because of everything going through the fair market value crap with the premier league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that slowness is one of the reasons why we can’t buy our way out of our current injury issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even have a hair transplant sponsorship I know it isn’t quick enough for some people, but we don’t know what is happening behind the scenes and we need to make sure we are always going to get the right deal. Think we have done a great job with Sela and Adidas so far. Sometimes a little patience is needed for the best results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 For me Darren Eales comments recently, that some have interpreted as, we suddenly need to sell players right now, I feel this has helped open a minefield for the press and local idiots. It wasn't made clear at all that we needed to sell now, it wasn't made clear we needed to sell the most valuable assets, all that was clear was, at some point you have to sell players, (not a particular player) to create headroom. I'm not Eales biggest fan, he seems to be a bit of a joker, when I see him, I feel he comes across like he might think he's more important than he actually is, the Mackem in Milan comment, the singing with the fans at the cup final, and the shite interview misleading everyone by talking about transfers and headroom, has created a lot of unnecessary attention lately. Wouldn't mind seeing the back of him tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re growing and evolving. Destination big league regulars. It will take time. They told us this from the off. Agreed, patience is key. Big wheel keeps on turning. Enjoy the show.

They are usually good at what they do though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
