In the unlikely event it all goes to plan, even if that happens, there is a cricketing analogy which is 'runs on the scoreboard first' - in other words they will go through all this over many years just to get below a level compared to their local rivals. We are taking notice because it has a lot of interesting factors - local rivalry, overseas money (or lack of), development of difficult areas (the FM, and The Mem) with a bit of football thrown in, oh and not forgetting strangely spending money on a new stand at the old ground.

If you were a player or manager and seen/read all of his post match interviews this season alone, why would you go there or let one of your players go there on loan? The manager is a massive piece of the puzzle for a player, he must put off plenty of players whilst he's dragging the clubs reputation (we all know they are everyones second favourite club) down further by each game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 There’s more, price is going up… At this level at the Mem then I would say it’s a bad loss. He would struggle to get £10m for us. Our losses are higher because he’s choosing to spend more on us making us a more professional outfit on and off the pitch. However, get a new stadium, carry on the quarters developments and get us into the championship then I would say he’s looking at a profit and we would be worth around £125m as we would be oven ready for a promotion push to the promised land. Now I’m not saying for one minute that’s what’s going to happen, but it’s a possibility if you look at the evidence of Brighton, Swansea and Cardiff. Put it this way, in terms of value, Derby County cost the new owners £40m with an additional £45m to be settled to creditors and the taxman and that was with Mel Morris agreeing to wipe out his £120m debt. That’s with them relegated to L1 with no football management and a half a first team. A championship club these days is big money with all the right pieces of the jigsaw in place doesn’t come cheap. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
