To keen on calling taxis for my liking. Never had a long term plan at Newcastle as far as I can see other than sacking managers and paying well over the odds for more often than not mediocre players.See I wouldn’t mind Ashley - he’d have the ambition to get us in the prem then do SISU but at least we’d be doing it in the premier league
I don’t blame them for what they are doing it’s an obvious tactic but there’s in sure no intention to sell
The big question is how do we deal with a loss making stadium that needs £15m of work doing to it
Sisu have nothing to actually sell. The club has no value other than the players. It’s a stir the pot story
I wouldn’t dream of calling him Jim!Dear Jim, please could you....
All on days when Wasps have a home gameIt's making a loss because it's run so poorly. It should be aiming to have 30-40 concerts a year in the hall and 3/4 in the arena.
I would say so. It's probably 25 between the 'big 3'. I'm sure the rest given we have Sheaf would total up to between another 5 and 10Is it? I very much doubt that and they are assets that are required not a value for sale - the club has no value and a Sisu fund owned debt mountain
Literally even if they invested 30m to get to prem and relegated instantly they would make their investment and the money they purchased the club back and some.They have the golden share of a Championship football club that's one good season away from the PL.

But how often do you invest 30m? If you get it wrong you have to invest another 30 - if it takes 4 seasons you’ve spent 120m incrued higher costs/wages and you’ve made no money.Literally even if they invested 30m to get to prem and relegated instantly they would make their investment and the money they purchased the club back and some.
I’m not talking about sisu, more the potential buyer might view it as that, and tbh I don’t think mr needs 120m for a promotion to the prem I think not even 30m he will choose his players correct hard working team players not some fancy baller who looks pleasing but isn’t there for the team (bright).But how often do you invest 30m?

SISU don’t have the balls anymore to attempt that gamble

I’m not saying it’s not possible, in fact 30m should be enough. I’m just saying the competition is big. You have 3 teams coming down with that cash. It could easily strap you into a nightmare scenarioAs for the question about who done it, I’m recent years
Blackpool
Hull
Sheffield united
Middlesbourgh
Wigan

Blackpool spent less than a million the year they got promoted. Just got lucky with a playoff win and Rangers letting Charlie Adam go for cheap.As for the question about who done it, I’m recent years

That call gives me anxiety.
"Won in a poker game" should have had enough alarm bells ringing
You couldn’t be more wrongSISU is not using the Times to put the club in the shop window, prospective investors in football don't read small ads.
Haha of course I'm not the real deal
I hear they are refiilling in the foundations at WU.
Tbh I think all the teams I listed done it with less than 30mBlackpool spent less than a million the year they got promoted. Just got lucky with a playoff win and Rangers letting Charlie Adam go for cheap.
And £20 million of debt with annual losses
I hear they are refiilling in the foundations at WU.
Perhaps a reason why SISU have been hanging on to their best player assets?

Is that just wishful thinking? Wasps in an 18K stadium in Birmingham makes a lot more sense than a 32K stadium in Coventry but in practice how would it work.
Is the thinking that someone comes up with the money for the bond payment and they get the stadium in return. I guess its not impossible but seems unlikely.
We don’t need £30m, we need maybe another £5m a year for the wage bill and a couple of mill a season for transfer fees. I don’t want to see us become another team spunking £5-10m on garbage Championship players on £20k/week, but I also don’t want us to be totally hamstrung and unable to bring anyone in or pay a squad of players even a lower mid table salary.
