I paid £35 for 2 beers in Maddison Square Garden, this guy knows how to grow commercial revenue :lol:

 

£40 in the Arena for Peter Kay apparently, so it can be done.

If this summer proves anything, the club needs more income, to afford higher player transfer fees and higher salaries.

I wish none of us needed to take an interest in the corporate side of the club, but it essentially sets the ceiling on what we can pay.

Every player we missed out on, and Isak, went to higher paying clubs. I see this as much more important than whether the person handling the transfer did a good job in "selling the club" to the player. In this case, money talks and BS walks.

 

My own interest in the corporate side is mainly "is it competent?" Beyond that, I don't care.

 

A Cup win, another final we lost, and two CL qualifications in three seasons means we are already punching well above our current financial weight on the pitch. The key ingredient in the secret sauce for that is Eddie, so whoever comes in at DoF must not rock the Eddie boat.

I was flicking through one of his interviews on Youtube back when he was first reported on and I remember saying he revamped the media team at Real Madrid. Hopefully he'll watch one player interview and realise it needs to be high on his agenda here

"So, David, how does it feel to be at St James Park after all these months"

"You're fired"

"We've got Hoppo in the middle,

He's gonna sign commercial deals,

New stadium at the back,

the training ground's on track,

Newcastle's gonna win the boardroom league"

Haha, same when me, my son and brother in law went to watch the Knicks in 2022... 3 'pints' of Stella cost around $55 / £45ish. :weep:

He studied the humanities as a bairn before taking a master's in negotiation at Harvard Law School. He knows how to fill the big seat in the big chair around the big boys' table but for all that what he cares about most is people. He's got his eyes on markets in the United States and the Far East and I have no doubt that he'll have commercial partnerships coming out the wazoo.
