    Well done you have just cited the reasons why someone just might come up with £70 Million for a football team in the PL

    Talking of not reading, you obviously didn't read what Ehab said when he categorically stated "we have no more to give" - changing the name of our club won't suddenly make Ehab remember they've got a few million quid in the wardrobe that they'd forgotten about.

    The name change is nothing to do with further investment from the Allams themselves; even they haven't made that claim so you're barking up the wrong tree.

    "#hcafc are aiming to have two different shirt sponsors this season. One for the Premier League & one for the Europa League and cups."

    Interesting.

    Good marketing?..or does it perhaps hijack a deal with a big sponsor who wants exposure in prem AND europe?

    It could be a company that has different entities within it, or one that owns others.

    For example the league shirt could be sky tv with SkyBet on the cup shirt, similar to how we used to have kc/Karoo on the away/home shirt respectively.

    Or the other example could be Volkswagen in the league with Skoda in the cups.

    Or it could just be two completely desperate companies, but I find it unlikely any company would make a reasonable offer for such a deal.

    Unfortunately, this is the likeliest outcome.

    I think it highly unlikely that the ex chairman of Exxon wouldn't know what was going on in Exxon.

    In my experience, ex presidents/chairmen/MDs of massive companies know everyfuckingthing that goes on in their old stomping grounds.

    £30 mill to well over £100 mill debt in 2 years - pissed of a good proportion of their customer base, season pass renewals well behind last year despite 'greatest ever season' - your right, the business side is a ****ing mess

    You forgot to mention the well-stocked club shop and quality merchandise.

    That's the outgoings and you'd be complaining if we didn't buy anyone. There must be incoming money!! PL money, sponsorships etc I'm aware we potentially may be running at a loss at the moment but not £100M

    There's plenty of money coming in, the problem is, it's going out as soon as it arrives.

    I don't actually think we're trading at a loss, the problem is the £90-100m debt we ran up before we started breaking even, that we're not paying off.
