How about Chris Mort and Ian Cathro as assistant manager? 

Ashley could come out with a 100k seater brand new multi-purpose stadium on Leazes Park that’s going to cost £4bn, have Rafa by his side, Staveley as his CEO, and Masters saying PSR is going to be disbanded and I still wouldn’t want the cunt back.

That’s a master plan made in conjunction with one of the proposed developers who are lacking funding.

It’s not an official detailed plan, and can change massively.

 

According to the Chelsea accounts on there it's pretty much a done deal and they'll look to try to redevelop Stamford Bridge instead.

Would people take Ashley back if it meant bringing in Iraola? Discuss.

It's one wild thing suggesting Ashley back. It's another to suggest getting Ashley back so tgat we can bring in Iraola. They guy has won fuck all in England while we have a manager who saved us from getting relegated, steered us to the Champions League twice and won our first trophy in 70 damn years. 

 

No thanks.

You've been on this forum for 15 years, you should know better.

We can never compete with the top 6 in the transfer market so I can't see why PIF would throw 2 billion at a new stadium when they'd never see a profit. Also would the Ruben's not be obligated to pay a percentage?

 

They're worth £25bn by themselves so I don't think a few hundred million for a new stadium would bother them.  They'd probably be involved in the construction and stuff too so they'd make a bit back.

Just be interested to see who’s actually taking the lead on this. Hopkinson isn’t making those calls. It may even be over YAR’s head in terms of making a financial commitment like that.

 

As ugly as it is, what we really need is the prince to take an interest as some sort of vanity project linked to their 2030 thing.

 

You’re probably talking about a 3/4 year build so if it’s to be part of that it would need to be happening very soon.

I reckon £2 billion plus what they have already spent still makes a tidy profit if the decide to sell us.

They would make it back though.

First of all we anticipate that half of it would be financed with the club paying it.

We would also be able to sell stadium naming rights which would be worth hundreds of millions in a long term deal.

The value of the club will increase massively in the coming years. Spurs are currently worth £3bn-£4bn for example.

Since our takeover we have moved from being sold at about £330m, to being valued at £1bn.

TV income has a way to increase when the Premier League decide to sell the TV rights directly to the consumer and show every game, we could easily end up with all the Premier League teams earning something like £400m per season compared to the £100m now.

Those numbers man, minging.

 

To think we struggle to retain health care professionals because of their salary...

We don’t struggle to retain health care professionals because of their salary, we struggle too because our government wants to sell off as many aspects of the NHS as possible so that they can profit from it.

Yep - I can't advocate for the New Monkey / Colosseum radgie 500bpm megamix that our support seems to go for when singing it, nor for that utter wank one they play over the tannoy with a stupid drum over it.  Just get a fucking brass band on the pitch and play it at the correct tempo, and let the crowd do the rest.

Saw an article said that their cash reserves was about $60bn. By no means a small sum but they're not going to use 5+% of that to build us a stadium. 

 

 

 


Wouldn’t be cash used? Be loans etc. and a long term property asset within UK that’s showcased on the global stage for decades to come as it’s called ‘Saudia Arena’ (or something similar). 
 

Would like to think if they were serious, a new stadium would be built that gives an insight into what their World Cup stadiums will be like in 8 years time.

I believe him when he says they’re working on it every day. If a new stadium or rebuild wasn’t on the cards I think they’d have set expectations on that. Aye it’s frustrating not knowing, but when we do know. It’ll be realistic and not just an idea like Man Utd or Birmingham

Yeah. I mean I still think we’ll come up with a really great design and state of the art stadium, I just think once we do see it, it will be ready to go in terms of planning etc.
