Say again?

Yes, but the catch is that getting promoted isn't just going to happen by adding another £2m-£3m. There's no guarantee. Look at how long it took Leicester to buy their way out of the Championship. So, say it takes three seasons with increased funding, is that really worth it? Especially as when...

They lower prices by 'special offers' to increase demand. Surely they can raise prices to decrease demand ... or optimize revenue?

Slightly contradictory there - but I agree attendances could drop due to new location. I could also go up due to the novelty factor. If they build a 18.000 seater I don't think they will need to increase capacity if we gets to the PL - they can use the pricing instrument to lower demand to the...

Read this again: And yes, I argue a lot with OSB. And may I add we argue in a civilized and amicable fashion. The common thing we share is the devotion for the club and the sadness of the current state.

You're sick and tired ... you only have yourself to blame. If you want to avoid this question again, then you should understand the concept of management fees. I think it has been explained about a hundred times on this forum and probably a few times to you specifically. Anyway, you include...

Good question - I don't know.

Yes, but that is football related merchandises. A non-football related event (like a concert) must be at the stadium to count towards FFP/SMCP.

Enlighten me please - what do you mean 'management fees'? Where does it go? How much is it?

I think you know better than to mention 'management fees' to me :) Anyway, they have already made 'gifts' - in the last account they converted +£2m debts to equity which was probably necessary to keep the wage bill within the FFP/SMCP limits.

Not really anywhere, it must be within the football complex. But yes, the club could buy facilities at the Ricoh at cost and arrange events to boost FFP/SMCP budget.

Well, at least the property company is. Yes, you could say that they have the same role as the council. But as long as they haven't sold the club you could say they are 'the Council', 'ACL' and the club owners.

As I said in another post in this thread - until they buy land it's just hot air.

The piece you're missing is the 'ACL' bit. A sisu controlled/investor owned company buy the land and build the facilities. The company (prop-co) will or will not be in the SBS&L group. It doesn't really matter. This company sell a long lease to a management operating company - similar to ACL...

It could be bullshit, but the numbers are purely guesswork until the business plan is made. I don't think even Fisher knows the capacity - he started with 12.000, for the last year or so he has said 18.000. It would depend on the size of the land, the infrastructure, the distance from town...

No, actually we don't know. All we have is an opinion. There are not enough figures available for anyone to make a qualified guess whether it makes financial sense for investors to engage. We don't know if it's possible - in theory almost everything is possible. Yes, the club would pay rent -...

It's just hot air from Fisher/sisu until plans are revealed.

I know there are plenty experts in shooting down ideas on this forum. But they have no influence on whether a new stadium will be build or not. There is no evidence that the stadium will ever become a reality, but there's plenty of logical reasons why it should providing the business plan is...

Indeed.
