Operation three fifths.
He's not the only one to have heard that tbfWhere have you heard that then there ain’t that many people behind the scenes are there.
Absolutely wrongCould he be paying the interest on the Sisu loans which is the extra Robins has to spend, and the reason for the "initially debt free" comments
For the love of God man wake the fuck up.Didn't he allegedly bid 30 mill for the stadium?
Put that money into the transfer budget + Gyok and Hamer funds (Another 30 mill) and we'll be well away.
Of course he won't do that, but still
Correct, it's staggering how little some fans understand about business.Absolutely wrong
The "debt free" quote is a Financial Term that excludes all debts other than those related to working capital.
So no debt in this context means no interest
They might - as long as some of them do, I'm happy. I know a few lads who now take there kids up with them now, that didn't until post pandemic.It is a shame our 'new' fans from the past 2 months don't stay and enjoy the Championship and the long list of big clubs we will be playing every week.
One thing I'm sure of - no way would King be stupid enough to sack MR if we had a poor season next season. Too much credit in the bank.I feel like this play off intention isn’t going to bode well for Robins.
Wait until fans have decided he's taken us as far as he can, doesn't show enough passion on the sidelines,and demand Felix Magath comes in.One thing I'm sure of - no way would King be stupid enough to sack MR if we had a poor season next season. Too much credit in the bank.
Good.Hes basically very 'my way or the highway'
Hasnt endeared himself to many at Frasers hence only a 5 year deal. Have you not noticed the stadium deal is the same length as this prem package?
The ST prices he was told would go down like a cup of cold sick and still ploughed onwards
The ST hold up is apparently down to him also playing silly beggars with matchday prices
Agreed - stopping the p8sstaking adults getting in on JSB tickets etc needs to be done, otherwise it's losing the club shedloads of income. If they can sort out those sort of things and maximise other commercial revenues, it'll offset the need to hammer fans through ST/match day prices in the medium to long term.Good.
The club needs shaking up …. Commercially we have been almost asleep ….
I’d love that, the excitement of seeing us go to Wembley again. We need to get over the line ASAP.I’ll give him time and support. but we’ll need to see where we’re at on August 31st.
he can’t say play offs 3 times out of next 5 years and give Robins 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps to improve the playing squad
Think some fans are in for a rude awakening and will be shocked as to how limited our spending power actually is - People seemed to be under the impression we’ve been taken over by an oligarch
It’s clear Doug has a strategy in place and Robins has brought into it, he’s committed the next 4 years to us so he must be on board - Whether people want to buy into it is their prerogative I guess
The stewards just need to check befor entry to the ground. Give people the option of upgrading, nothing heavy. As long as someone is in possession of a correct category, that is good enough.Agreed - stopping the p8sstaking adults getting in on JSB tickets etc needs to be done, otherwise it's losing the club shedloads of income.

Yes I know, was just clarifying for someone if he had previously instead said "promotion".he actually said play offs in 3 of the next 5 years, and if we do that then we would hope to push through the door in 1 of them
Because SISU knew we’d all vote with our feet if they tried putting prices up.Good.

Trouble is, nobody is going to want to go to the ticket office, 15 minutes before ko to upgrade their ticket, and the stewards certainly won't be able to do it. I agree, needn't be heavy handed about it, but by the same token, if word gets around that you can't get away with it, it'll go a long way to minimising the issue.Give people the option of upgrading
It’s tough on them.. I suppose they could come earlierTrouble is, nobody is going to want to go to the ticket office, 15 minutes before ko to upgrade their ticket, and the stewards certainly won't be able to do it.

I find it mad to believe there is just under 60,000 students go to Cov Uni and Warwick Uni combined, a lot of them from overseas and the club hasn’t done much in trying to entice them inGood.

Well, we were building a stadium there so left it at that.I find it mad to believe there is just under 60,000 students go to Cov Uni and Warwick Uni - a lot of them international and the club hasn’t done much in trying to entice them in
There’s a massive market there to be tapped into
They sod off three years later though, so it's hardly long term. Plus they go in on a concession so won't gain you that much revenue. I'd say it's a lot of effort for not as much return as trying elsewhere.I find it mad to believe there is just under 60,000 students go to Cov Uni and Warwick Uni - a lot of them international and the club hasn’t done much in trying to entice them in

They already have started doing this.Trouble is, nobody is going to want to go to the ticket office, 15 minutes before ko to upgrade their ticket, and the stewards certainly won't be able to do it.

Let's see if that is the same now that Leeds are in the championship, I doubt it.They sod off once a year and are replenished in the September
If they are from the UK who’s to say they wouldn’t regularly come back and if they’re from abroad who is to say they wouldn’t order merchandise to back home
I go to Uni in Leeds and all the foreign students are walking round in Leeds gear, shirts etc. and are always clambering for tickets
Maybe but its not as uncommon as you thinkLet's see if that is the same now that Leeds are in the championship, I doubt it.
We have seen that a successful Coventry City can pull in large crowds from the local Coventry and Warwickshire population.
Yeah, because as a city fan I decided to support Cardiff instead.If they are from the UK who’s to say they wouldn’t regularly come back
See above, not everyone has a club engrained into themYeah, because as a city fan I decided to support Cardiff instead.
So you're pumping a lot of effort and resource into a group where many won't be interested anyway, many will already have a team, and those who might be interested don't have much disposable income, and won't be in a position to put money into the club for more than a couple of seasons at best, and then it'd be negligible. I'm really not sure effort v return pays off when there are other avenues you can target that either have a longer impact as you catch people and keep them, have demographics that spend more, and demographics that are in a position to spend more for longer.See above, not everyone has a club engrained into them
So in that case - should we not bother targeting schools because a lot of kids parents have not bothered taking them in years and they all wear Man United and Liverpool shirts?So you're pumping a lot of effort and resource into a group where many won't be interested anyway, many will already have a team, and those who might be interested don't have much disposable income, and won't be in a position to put money into the club for more than a couple of seasons at best, and then it'd be negligible.

The only way it works is if you can persuade one to get their evil dictator Dad to buy the club with his blood money.
No, because they hook into the catching people at a time when you're more likely to have a longer impact category. Then when they sod off to uni they come back for games and look with disdain at their local club trying to hook them.So in that case - should we not bother targeting schools because a lot of kids parents have not bothered taking them in years and they all wear Man United and Liverpool shirts?
I hear Dougs already pissing a lot of people off behind the scenes
Could be a good thing
