To be fair, our commercial revenue has jumped enormously since the takeover. Its just that we started with a ridiculously low figure it is always going to take years to properly dent the gap.

Yorkie Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 1 minute ago, r0cafella said: I disagree, if the policy isn't realistic then it is embarrassing imo. I get the idea of trying to make this but splash like we've arrived but the reality is the second a cartel member is interested we end up being second fiddle. Let's see how this all works out. Disregarding targets whose valuations we can actually meet - because a cartel club might gazump us - would be lunacy imo, and incredibly wet behaviour. If there was only five minutes left of the window it would be an extremely dicey approach, because the risk of losing out is abundantly clear, but with weeks left to do business I don't see the problem in taking a shot at the best targets. That's what we need to guarantee we stay where we are/progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Just like when Chelsea first went in for Joao Pedro, I am 95% sure we will come out of this empty handed with egg on our faces. The car crash of a window continues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter, all that matters is the difference between our revenue and the other cartel clubs. If this gap isn't decreasing our rate of growth is irrelevant.

Our commercial revenue was lower in 2021 than it was in 2007 - NUFC’s club shop paying the club rather than Sports Direct would have seen it increase.

St1pe Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Fair play to the club though. Despite the windows failures they’ve gone for a really ambitious target here. If we get pipped again it’s going to hurt but I can’t fault the effort compared the mess that occurred in the beginning of the window. Obviously this is a coping mechanism.
