mrmojorisin75 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 It's fucking horrific. The lack of ambition from the financial side is bad enough but this is literally raping our club in front of our own faces. ott post of the year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I understand the attitude of "I don't care as long as we're getting results", but it'll still be there during home defeats... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of advertising is that you receive money for it. But Ashley puts his money in the club, so he should be able to use St James' to advertise his other companies.

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 But you know that to borrow £140 million (knock off £40m if you like for the culpable relegation) and not pay interest has a monetary gain. And we have that gain because of Ashley, so bringing the "lost income" aspect into it is irrelevant imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well the sensible thing to do would at least make it look like the club feels a financial benefit from covering the stadium in fucking crap. But then again I firmly believe it's been done just to be a cunt, and therefore it works not to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I firmly believe it's been done just to be a cunt, and therefore it works not to. you honestly, honestly believe that? i don't disagree that the sensible thing to do would be to sell the spots and bring more money into the club but i also fully agree with what quayside says, fat fred sold our advertising like a motherfucker, he also made millions from the club and left it in a financial shambles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 it doesn't, but i can't put it any better than how quayside said it i'm afraid Well that's the answer for everything then. He doesn't charge his own company interest, so anything goes and nobody can be displeased at anything. And even if they are, Shepherd was worse. Happy days.

He doesn't charge his own company interest, so anything goes and nobody can be displeased at anything. And even if they are, Shepherd was worse. Happy days. Of course it's not the answer for everything and of course anyone can be p*ssed off about the SD crap everywhere (I don't like it either). But the point is that not getting SD to pay anything for it is irrelevant. He could easily do what Randy Lerner does and charge the club 6% per annum on his loans, over the past 4 years that would have been about £30 million that would have left the club coffers. He hasn't done that and he hasn't got SD to pay for the advertising. So it's not worth getting in a state about the money side of the advertising.

Dave Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 For the record I never said it was the sole reason I don't like it, or even a big reason why. Generating funds for the club (either from SD themselves or from selling more than 10% of the available advertising space to third parties) would make it ever so slightly understandable, that's all.
