Nope. In 3 years time we will be commercially upwards of 100m a year better off. And our current deals are 15m.GG knows his sums, I'll grant him that, but he's miles off on this one.

How can you therefore explain the reason why PIF bought us and the matching of FFP.GG knows his sums, I'll grant him that, but he's miles off on this one.
It’s not an exact science but the majority of the premier clubs commercial revenue streams have multiplied by 4-6x plus in the last 10 years where ours has stagnated with no increase at all.
The commercial increases we could command now especially with the potential KSA market is astronomical and the PL cannot block it.
If they did it’s a restriction of trade. Why can the Pl top six clubs have 4x more commercial income than us. The beauty is they can’t.
The only limitation is the access to the investment in the first place.
We can’t go silly. Like billions. But we can compete. That’s the whole point. So if we sign commercial deals in a similar level to our competitors they cannot stop it.
It is that simple.
£171.5 million per season in sponsorships (at least) for Scumchester... crikey.

The only way they can invest and grow the club is to multiply the revenue streams astronomically.
They (PIF) earn more money than we can possibly imagine. They are not wasting their time on us to grow revenue streams by 20m a year.
Nope. The new deals will be upwards and more. Trust me: the other premier league clubs need to generate money to just keep up.Sleeve sponsorship to main shirt sponsorship tends to be between 3 and 4 x the amount in normal circumstances. The thought process was to try and get sleeve deal at £7.5m which is comparable with a few other teams in top 6. Then get the main one at about £20-£25m (top end for now).
And the beauty of that is. That sets the precedent. And the PL cannot block that level of spend because of restrictions of trade.£171.5 million per season in sponsorships (at least) for Scumchester... crikey.

Look at Chelsea’s Nike deal which was signed a while back. And they don’t have access to our funds.
We can manufacture deals of minimum 1-3m a pop just to sell ice creams.
Honestly, for us to compete even remotely in the next 5 years we have to at least double revenue streams. And the only way we can do that is commercial deals. No other way.
That can't possibly have a bearing on anything other than how attractive we may look to investors / sponsors though... and if we get our main sponsors through PIF partners...Mate, Chelsea have CL football and far bigger audiences through that, have won **** knows how many trophy's including CL in the last 2 decades. At this minute in time it is not a comparable.
Which was worth nothing. Because todays deal shows clearly that the PL cannot and will not block the deals.Because the arse holes changed the rules days AFTER they bought the club in an emergency ****ty PL meeting.

Totally irrelevant in the commercial sense. We are a business on the same level with complete parity. Any legal blockage to us maintaining a similar level is quite simply illegal.Mate, Chelsea have CL football and far bigger audiences through that, have won **** knows how many trophy's including CL in the last 2 decades. At this minute in time it is not a comparable.
The additional games have seperate sponsorship deals. Why do you think the champions league attracts so much more money in terms of investors.Of course it does. They argue to PL that they play an additional 25% games a year in comparison to us.
Woah, steady on Poster Boy !!they can sponsor me if they want
I've been going so long I'm part of fixtures and fittings
plus image rights

Ok, so that works - if it's a consideration, which I'm far from certain that it will be - only until we get into Europe...Of course it does. They argue to PL that they play an additional 25% games a year in comparison to us.
too kindWoah, steady on Poster Boy !!
Nobody has the money to cover your image rights. Nobody.

So, Scum's 171.5m, less 25% gives us £128.625m a season... roll it per year till we're playing the same amount of games... argument gone.
They are also valued at 10x what we are in terms of value paid.Of course it does. They argue to PL that they play an additional 25% games a year in comparison to us.
Steady upwards growth over 2/3 years is all we need.That's what I'm saying. It's not forever but we're playing catch up. These deals will all be for like 1 year 2 year max so they can continue to grow them.
