How can you say for sure

The fee to Bournemouth will be paid in installments. We'll receive a chunk each time an installment is paid.

She gets a cut for introducing investors and gets a cut of their profits on an investment. So she does invest in the club it just depends how you look at it.
Also you still don't know whether she invests some of her money in the club. She would be stupid not to on 14 per cent interest on a loan.
The club has been a basket case for years. You wanting to sack managers ever 5 minutes is no way to resolve the problem around finances.

Did you expect it to make things better? I don't think anyone has ever suggested it was a purely financial decision. Quite the opposite.
I think Grendel is saying in our situation we need owners who have an emotional attachment to the club.
That SISU are fucking up in how they run the club financially.
That SISU are milking the club through interest on loans.
That without a big player sale or legacy funds from such sales the club are financially fucked.
That the move to Birmingham was possibly self inflicted.
I think that's the gist?

Resorting to personal insults on an anonymous Internet forum! That really screams winner, doesn’t it!

didn’t you state a few pages back that many of the Barnsley forum agree with you? Thus insinuating you also spend time on other fans forums, thus therefore insinuating you too have loser stamped all over you.

How groundshare will affect Sky Blues' playing budget
Sky Blues boss Mark Robins still has players he wants to recruit to strengthen his squad this summer

I think he said the same about any losses rather than just from Birmingham. I must admit I didn’t think he meant anything different to the way the loans are added to but it is different and a good challenge

Ah not a direct quote then, a “Telegraph understands”
“It’s understood that the club’s owners, Sisu, have agreed to underwrite any shortfall in the budget as a result of reduced season ticket sales to ensure Robins has similar funds to last year.”
Thanks.

Well they are funding high interest bearing loans

Of course it has anyone who says different needs to have some lessons in arithmetic. Losing 10000 fans a game at £20 a head that’s seventeen league games plus cup ties one a local derby v Brum equates to over the £3.3 million loss.

The losses are actually totally down to the move. Nothing to do with COVID at all

Would think 6,000 fans would be closer.
Grendel

Probably but you’ve also got the cost per game of playing there. It looks like a rate per game of around £60k and also we reduced prices to attract people there

Yeah the way it’s worded provides a lot of wiggle room. I’d misremembered it as they’ll foot the Bill, rather than they’ll do what they’ve always done and lend us money.

It’s very obvious the club had to get back or it would have faced significant escalating losses over the future seasons.

How many accounts and posts did you make on the Wasps forum mate?
Grendel

Rather different but nice try - I think I made a total of 40 posts significantly less than you

Different how? Barnsley likes his football so he spends time talking to fans of other clubs. Nothing sad about that really is there-though I haven’t forgotten your appreciation of my handiwork
Grendel

It’s utterly different as I only posted on topics relevant to us
Brighton Sky Blue
Well-Known Member
As did I. Unlike me though you must have made at least 3 accounts to continue posting. By your own definition you’re a ‘loser’ going to those lengths
Grendel
Well-Known Member
No as it takes two minutes to create an account and again the subject matter was relevant
A supporter who posts on multiple sites but not his own is very odd indeed

How else does a club like ours bring in millions of pounds over the course of a season? We do not have someone prepared to issue blank cheques and write it all off
Grendel

The strategy of moving away from the Ricoh cost the club it’s losses in these accounts. Nothing else.
It has funded gaps through interest rate loans that its desired strategy caused
Brighton Sky Blue
Well-Known Member
Right, and that’s a fair criticism. But suppose we hadn’t moved away we would still be relying on player sales to generate cash. What else is there most clubs at our level or below can do to bring in revenue on the same scale?

Given that there were a section of fans who genuinely believed we were better off at St. Andrews (not just due to our form but because they believed that commercially we were somehow better off), I'm going to go with no, it wasn't obvious to everyone.
