http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27411682 Cardiff get £62m in tv money alone for being relegated. Imagine what Celtic could become with a slice of that, plus extra sponsorship, merchandising etc that could come from being in that division. Keep thinking the epl will fall on its arse at some point. But money just goes up and up and up
Our turnover would be at least £120m in the first season, which is approaching Spurs. Sounds great, only we'd be competing against ****s like Man City who'll spend that on 2 players.
The surprising fact for me was the biggest tv watching figure during the season was Swansea v Cardiff , 380 million tuned in from America !!! That can't be right !!!!
Sorry it was 31 million tuned in on nbc , still unbelievable more watched that game than any of the big 4 big games .
All we'd have to do is keep our Plastic Paddyness up and we'd hoover up the long term Irish support, mind - that's a 5.5m domestic(ish) following right there who currently pick an EPL team out of a hat.
Even the prime time shows don't get those kind of figures, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you are mistaken or speaking utter ****e.
Lawell and co would go into overdrive off the back of it. We'd have a load more Chinese, Korean and American players like du Wei, cha and Cervi We could make a fortune, not just in terms of tv money. Never happen, but makes me sick ****ty teams get relegated and can use that money to afford players to play in the championship that we can't afford yet can offer cl football. It's nuts
31 million according to Sky or BT or whoever the **** makes up this ****. Basically work out how many people in America are of Welsh descent, add them all up, add their extended family/friends/neighbours and any staff they employ. Voila!
Foundations of mud. It will all collapse one day soon and I look forward to seeing it. It will reach the stage where these tinpot clubs need more an more money just to survive and we will reach tipping point when the "Fans" refuse to pay the outlandish ticket prices. It's already happening in the Championship, the play off final to reach the EPL is supposedly the most valuable game in football and yet every club in that league is in MASSIVE debt.
Watford not in debt Dan? The list I saw had everyone up to their ears in pawned siverware apart from Blackpool.
I thought our owners had written it all off when they took over and we turned an operating profit last year. However, another look at the end year acocunts for 2013 indicates we were about 1 million in the red so my bad . The Championship is mental though - the wages bills are ridiculous
1 Mill is not so bad but as you say the wages are absolutely mental, ****s getting £40k a week and more.
