Ridiculous timing. Stupidly short notice.

Agreed,

And accepted, if somebody can show me :

1. how this in the main helps the likely number of Forest supporters
from their parish who will be attending the game.

2. that supporters from all sides will be compensated
for any financial hit that the change causes.

(FFS why can the club not generate a fully indexed PDF doc !!?? <grr><steam> ) ...


Page 4 is the salient "executive summary" .
My musings on what IMHO are key points of note :

1. Peak match day revenue appears to be stabilising.

2. The revenue streams from PL participation (placing, broadcast
interest) are similarly stable (and for all the money sloshing about - quite equitable)

3. If the above is true, then regular CL participation is now vital

4. Commercial revenue (club and new WHL related) is increasing,
and if that is peak + stable it alone covers the debt interest servicing
on new WHL (so "zero sum" in that regard)

So, the final part of the jigsaw has been found (why did it take so long) and is soon to be put in place...

ENIC are looking to take on new investment to expand the equity in the club... "the board and its advisors, Rothschild & Co, are in discussions with prospective investors as the club needs to continue to invest in the teams and undertake future capital projects, the club requires a significant increase in its equity base".

Finally, we're going to have significant non-football money to carry out all of the non-football activities!!!

Halle-****ing-leujah!!

I am unclear as to whether people are seeing the same things
(so would welcome differing comments on this) .

My reading on the annual report + "equity" statement
is that short of a new WHL "naming rights" cash injection,
and regular CL income, that revenues from domestic
on-pitcn performance are not going to keep pace with
PL transfer/wage fee inflation.

With the creeping FFP regimes, if that meant a PL
crash on those fees (a "hard reset" ) , then that would
be good. But given that means Citeh will need to be
punished severely, I cannot see that.
