</p>poor Wigan, they struggle with no fans as well
Last season as an example the following teams finished above us in the league but drew in smaller crowds:
Portsmouth
QPR
Swansea
Burnley
Bristol City
Watford
Milwall
Barnsley
I could go back many years but can't be bothered. So you will have to forgive me for not agreeing with you.
The problem with CCFC is that none of our owners have shown enough ambition.
Yep! Of course we have a big enough fan base. Anyone who was there in 1987 when some quarter of a million people lined the streets and about 100,000 were trying to get tickets to the cup final tells you all you need to know. Chelsea in the cup was another game everyone wanted to come to. Bottom line is, if we had a successful team we would be getting 20,000 + every week without doubt.
Their business sense is uncannily similar to that I experienced when my previous company got bought by a hedge fund. They asset-stripped, cut all the overheads and ran the remains as a rump. Sales were very poor, but overheads were so low that that they ran at a very slight profit. That's how they bought a company for a quid, and sold it for a couple of million a few months later for a swift gain.
Sure, the company was wrecked, unable to compete with rivals and entered admin followed by liquidation within a year. But the venture capitalists made a tidy sum, and they don't care about people-just the bottom line.
Sound familiar, anyone? "Saviours", my arse!
Happy Days !
now, wheres my rope
