£17M. profit this year though.
Edit; that would equate to about the same aswewere losing in the Championship,possibly with less turnover,compare that to Bristol City's survival in the championship last year operating costs around £24M. turnover around £11M. loss obvious.
What models operate on the Continent Micheal?Seem to remember reading that fans have a stake in Clubs over in Germany ,which is now bearing fruit as the most profitable league i believe.
Edit; Sorry post is in response to OP.
Think Rose Royce.
You might not ever get rich
But its better than digging a ditch...................................................Its Not he Somme More SISU Digging themselves into one big hole
.
Maybe ,but would'nt have thought there was any claim on merchandise although you never know.
Suspect its Far more likely to be another game of Charades in the Pantomime that is SISU'S Tenure @ CCFC.:facepalm::(:mad:
Well the trust went dormant pretty much on SISu's Takeover ,these are new folk involved .My bet is it went towards that large donation made to the club for the Academy.JMO.
There may be no points to be had Dong.To move the Share would require league approval so there is no conflict there.There may be legal repercussions for the club or individuals .
See this is where the problem lies ,anyone and i mean anyone who tries to do what they think is the right thing for the majority of fans is met with complete cynisism.
Expand ,was there some conflab regarding it ,were the trust involved . I thought Deano was upset with numbers ,I personally could'nt go through working out of town after promising i'd go ,but would willingly still contribute given the opporotunity.
Of course it has implications it dissipates reaction /effect .
Its stage managed pr not open or transparant ,devoid of in your words ,Scrutiny or accountability./
