FFP means you have to budget on income streams and revenue. This has nothing to do with Sisu coughing up. A return to the Ricoh, increased gate receipts, better commercial revenues from matchdays will defo help to a better budget next season. However, there has been a price to pay this season with no match day revenues and many clubs will suffer next season as they feel the impact.
We’re in the most attractive position for possible investors now since they took us over. I’d love for someone to come in but not holding out any hopes.
I do think our budget will increase and MR is playing his cards close to his chest. COVID will have hit other clubs harder and we have stability here so I trust we can progress with a modest budget.
I think Joy could choose to give money rather than loan but I don’t understand what would be in it for her. If there are any genuine suitors now would be a good time to make a genuine offer. Not to guarantee success but because you have money burning holes in your pocket and want to have fun spending it
Gosh that’s a whole other level of confusion beyond my little brainShe doesn’t own the club. How can she gift money she isn’t actually the owner of?
Why is that?We are in a position where Sisu will have zero interest in selling
Can’t really see why anybody would be interested in a club that still holds/has no major assets apart from name only in a higher league? Not sure that a rental agreement of 7-10 years renting a stadium will cut the mustard.We’re in the most attractive position for possible investors now since they took us over.

They are in a cash neutral world and can continue to pay down the loan account to the investors - a million was done in the last published accounts - they will not move for five years and whichever league we are now in will just adjust spend and continue to lay back money owed
Ah yes the Newcastle fan syndrome - “buy us players with your money, expect nothing back and if it don’t work fuck off”As i mentioned in anther thread, there is a choice involved and that choice is with our owners.
So... Joy, reward MR with a mid table budget at least or sell up please.
Our positive trajectory needs to be seized upon.
Will be waiting a while at that rate, what's the end game?

I would guess they are comfortable now and can pay accounts down and still have some potential idea of distress with the Ricoh owners - no one will pay what they want for a zero asset club
The alternative is more desirable, get our friends to all go, pack out the Ricoh week in week out, buy all the merchandise and the budget will increase.And your alternative expectation is what?

Just come off the back of a pandemic. That needs to be accounted for. I’m also of the opinion that this just to throw off the competition, they’re not going to come out and say - yeah we’ve doubled our budget so yeah - name us your asking wageWe’ve sold more STs than our average attendance last season and our budget apparently isn’t increasing so how do you figure that?
They’re also probably budgeting for those 8k aswell. We don’t know how long the restrictions are going to be in place. Would be nuts to budget for more further income crowd wise until an increase is allowed.We’ve sold more STs than our average attendance last season and our budget apparently isn’t increasing so how do you figure that?

Pay for this year to some extentWe’ve sold more STs than our average attendance last season and our budget apparently isn’t increasing so how do you figure that?
Yeah, I’m not judging until the transfer window shuts. Just saying that there’s a certain price of entry for the division and you’ve got to meet that before you really start to get the benefits of a 32k stadium. The idea that it’s consumers fault for not buying the product enough is nuts. If we are a top half Championship club we’d see 20k+ easily IMO, and it’s not a million miles off.

Well let's see what all the others spend after all the pandemic affected nearly every sports team in the world.Just come off the back of a pandemic. That needs to be accounted for.

I’m not saying it’s the consumers fault, but weve spent the last 5 years dragging SISUs name through the mud. How can we expect them to think - fuck it throw 10 mil in, when there’s no guarantee that it will exceed - fans have a history of then expecting the owners to leave with no rerun.Yeah, I’m not judging until the transfer window shuts.

If we want our club to succeed we’ve got to do our end of the deal. Let’s get to 20k plus and act like a big club.

No Calum Wison, James Maddison or Tom Bayliss to cash in on?We’ve sold more STs than our average attendance last season and our budget apparently isn’t increasing so how do you figure that?
