I was told a bit back that there were arrests made from one box for fighting and two ejected another week by the police who were on banning orders, if King wants to attract I hate to say it but “better”class business corporates he’s got to get rid of ne’er do wells I’m afraid.If what he just said is true, that it was working out at £50 a game, then it clearly was too cheap
This is going to cause a storm on here.I was told a bit back that there were arrests made from one box for fighting and two ejected another week by the police who were on banning orders, if King wants to attract I hate to say it but “better”class business corporates he’s got to get rid of ne’er do wells I’m afraid.
he can attract business corporates, but has no control over who they invite to their box. You can get some middle aged herberts and in there who drink too much, and act like nobs.I was told a bit back that there were arrests made from one box for fighting and two ejected another week by the police who were on banning orders, if King wants to attract I hate to say it but “better”class business corporates he’s got to get rid of ne’er do wells I’m afraid.
Oh he’s only funding interest on loses, not the loses? No wonder he is desperate to get income up.I thought DK came across pretty well and gave his reasoning for the changes in the corporate box prices.
My main "take" from the discussion was:
1. DK is funding the infrastructure - which my guess is circa 2-3 million.
2. DK will service the interest on operating loses in the next few years.
3. The revenues generated from ST's, Corporates, EFL payments and player transfers will fund the squad.
4. No new money to the academy ...yet.

I probably didn't word that well. What I meant was:Oh he’s only funding interest on loses, not the loses? No wonder he is desperate to get income up.
I guess a recording will be up at some point?
I probably didn't word that well. What I meant was:
* Given the club is supposedly "debt free"....the club would now make an operating loss each year and DK would fund the interest payments on those loses. Hence, the club will start to be in debt, albeit not to the anyway near the level SISU claimed.
L1 wage bill then. Basically the same as Sisu.
Was it ever really going to be that much different under DK that it was under SISU?
A player sale is pretty much still going to be needed every season in order to keep losses at a minimum.
Hedge fund investors seems to be the normal routeInterest payments to who? Who is financing the debt?
As good as SISU's good business sense?He clearly has excellent business acumen
Why buy the club? Genuinely confused. The plan is just to hope the manager performs a miracle?
Interest payments to who? Who is financing the debt?
Same reason SISU did really. He sees a real business opportunity to get the club to the PL and feels MR can deliver that.
It was never going to be his own money funding the buy-out of the club.
The same the football world over with the exception of a very small number of clubsWas it ever really going to be that much different under DK that it was under SISU?

Tbf Joy would have sold him for a Louis Vuitton bagViks going for 50p ? King out !
SellSo what's the plan when the debt increases?
Sisu spent when they arrived.
Why didn’t you phone up and ask then ?Hang on that’s something different. If he bought the club with debt then he lied about us being debt free. Regardless I’m talking about operating losses from here out. Sisu lent us cash at extortionate rates. Is that was King plans to do as well? Would be nice if someone a bit more with it than the average BBC reporter could ask the questions TBH.

If people want to take kids to the corporate areas, they need to pay the price.
I agree with him. It's a waste of a seat if a kid is getting in on the cheap and it could be sold for twice the price to an adult.
Banning children appears to be the answer.You could use that same ridiculous logic about general admission tickets
Shame over 15 minutes of the 20 was taken up with Corporate prices for boxes. Something that will never affect 99% of us. That said, thought he answered the criticisms well.

Agreed. Upton and CWR wasting time on boxes was disappointing if they knew he was only on for 20 minutes.
Did you listen to the interview itself or are you pulling your view from posters on here?Hang on that’s something different. If he bought the club with debt then he lied about us being debt free.

1 million I think spent on Scott Dan and Danny Fox I think.Sisu spent when they arrived.
Danny Fox, both from Walsall500k spent on Scott Dan and the other one can't remember his name wasn't it.
Dann, Fox, Eastwood, Westwood were the headline ones, although Dann was more than that I think.1 million I think spent on Scott Dan and Danny Fox I think.
