No, he's stated facts:
Signed 20 odd players - yes that's a fact -
Is the rent double L1 average? Yes, 400k to 213k - fact ........
Do we get match day revenue? No - fact
Do CCFC fans' money goes to CCFC - no, that's a fact.
We can all get pedantic SBT ............. the OP's original post was very much opinion........... the second post threw in a couple of "facts" that in his mind supported his opinion, there are others facts not included that would contra at least some of it
so my opinion
Throwing 20 players at a team in the hope that it might suceed (it hasnt yet) could be "investment" or it could be saddling the club with debt and liability it can not actually afford for players that are not up to the job. Fact our debt increases because our club cannot finance its major expense which is wages, we dont pay the full rent at the moment so it hasnt increased because of that, and the profit (which roughly equates to the net cash positive)from the car park, F&B is not going to fill the gap
been plenty of arguments on L1 average, an average can be skewded by all sorts of info included or excluded not to mention the quality of what is rented. but that has been discussed plenty times before hasnt it and just about everyone has chosen to ignore inconvenient facts because it didnt suit their argument. The club should pay a fair rent for the facilities it gets certainly but even if we were still at HR that wouldnt be L1 average. It isnt L1 one average rent no but it isnt a L1 average ground either - fact
No we dont get all the match day income - but we have already had the benefit of the profit from them in advance calculated on the basis of bigger crowds and a position in the championship..... to the tune of £6m - fact. Who do you think actually sells the match day hospitality packages that include food and car parking spaces by the way ? Who do you think sells the pitch side advertising ? So to say Do we get match day revenue? No - fact........... is actually not a fact
Do CCFC fans' money goes to CCFC - no, that's a fact. ............... no not a fact........ so who does get most of CCFC's fans money then because the biggest income from fans is the ticket sales in all their different kinds (some of which includes car parking and food)? (see club official website for ticket/package details)
In terms of the fans money that doesnt go to CCFC we are not talking massive net amounts........... it is the F&B on the concourse, and the car park money (btw the way it is a fact that 900 spaces are included in the licence/lease CCFC signed)
CCFC want it - buy it ........... kind of how business works in its lowest format ........... could have been done years ago but somehow it seems to have got "overlooked"
The one thing I do agree with the OP on is that we should all be on the side of the club............ doesnt mean you cant see what is best for the club differently to someone else
