You gotta think of the brand value as well. Gate revenue may not have increased all that much, but fill the stadium and create hype around the club, and that'll surely affect other revenue streams like merch sales, sponsorship deals, tv revenue, higher caliber players wanting to come play for city (which in time you can turn into profit) etc.
A 29 year Nick Barmby on a free was one of the best bits of business we’ve ever done. PS Hahahahaha TWS!
Acun's personal wealth is estimated to be that according to Internet chatter sites, but they're guessing. He controls a lot more wealth than that.
Derby fell foul of FFP because of that and incurred points deductions, but it didn't dump them in administration though. That was Mel Morris refusing to bankroll the club any further - though being prevented from using artificial means to spend his way to the Premier league probably had something to do with that decision. Doesn't really matter if an owner has 38m or 380m to invest, they are all limited to 39m losses in any rolling 3 year period. Gate receipts will make a potential difference of a few million, but the way to sustainably fund a championship club without parachute payments - which make a phenomenal difference to revenue and therefore FFP cap is ultimately to develop and sell on players for a profit. Merch is porentially a bit different. Most provincial clubs are limited to what they can realistically turn over by catchment area. Acun's reach in Turkey and elsewhere he has a high profile, and his plan to turn us into every Turk's second team means we have huge potential if that market can be tapped
Perhaps but it gives them a very good player to build around. Might be the difference for them at the end of the season.
Like turning up to Hiroshima with a dustpan and brush I think He's not really had any sort of chance at adult level, hope he's ready to get kicked a fair bit!
Yeah,think he's got that easily,they're all walking around Turkey with them on The only drawback I can see is they're £10 fakes
Anybody have any opinions who the young Premier league forward could be? For some strange reason I keep thinking Joe Hugill from Man Utd. What's other people's thoughts?
