The ground is a sellout most weeks so there's no room for income expansion there. What's the plan to not come straight back down again?
Good questionGillingham bought ETHAN COLEMANThe Reverend wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 2:22 pm How are clubs like Stevenage, Gillingham and Col U able to have an active January transfer window whilst we have to rely on loans of kids and freebies who haven’t played for a year?

And how much do you think existing player wages would need to increase by to be competitive? Never mind the additions and replacements within the current squadtuffers#1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:39 pm25 % automatic increase from Tv deal , ergo more money from advertising a superior product , its not Rocket Science !RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 9:06 pmgshaw wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 8:52 pm If we do manage to get promotion over the line how can the club be competitive in L1 if "FFP" is the reason we can't bring in a striker during the window when clubs like Stevenage don't seem to have such concerns?

More investment opportunities for buisness to grow as we are 1 step away from the championship , cheers harry , Welcome back Samsung etc. A League 1 Paul Smyth goes for a million not £ 300 k etcgshaw wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:41 pmAnd how much do you think existing player wages would need to increase by to be competitive?

23/24 season, the royal formerly known as Prince signs up for the new season. Cue photo op with Harrold, the social media team will love it
But is FFP ,PoundhillO wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:07 pm If it isn’t FFP and if we don’t get promoted it’s a gamble to really lose the good faith with a lot of the fan base.
Not surprisingly I will not be renewing my season ticket if we fail to get promoted due to the unrealistic stinginess of those with the money.
I won’t see Tuffers reply as he was foed ages ago.
That’s the club’s plan. I want to know when all the investors will be selling up for a tidy profit
Poundy , with the greatest of respect you always say that . If we fail to win promotion we’ll all be gutted but we’ll all be back again because we love the club . After supporting this club for God knows how long, you must also love the club and that’s why you’ll be back to suffer along with the rest of us. Anyway, let’s try and be positive and get behind Richie and the team. Everything is still in our own hands.PoundhillO wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:07 pm If it isn’t FFP and if we don’t get promoted it’s a gamble to really lose the good faith with a lot of the fan base.

He's got a point though the time comes when you have to draw a line under failure and move on. If only for the good of your own soul.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:41 pmPoundy , with the greatest of respect you always say that .

How much would we need to be sold for for the investors to make a profit?BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:25 pmThat’s the club’s plan. I want to know when all the investors will be selling up for a tidy profit
I doubt if he is on much more than £15,000 pa now so it will be peanuts until the end of June. He was a student before so will be a tiny costgshaw wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:28 pmYup, Devlin on the podcast the other day
Another one on that front... was Ethan Light signed on a pro contract and thus part of our FFP liabilities? If so was another academy level player really necessary in this window when the first team needs the backing right now?
I think Lingy said owners can inject money into a club for transfers provided that money wasn’t a loan . Maybe it’s as simple as Gillingham and Stevenage having more wealthy owners than us . That’s fair enough. Previously we had ( allegedly) a billionaire owner yet look what happened. Money doesn’t always guarantee success on the pitch.PoundhillO wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 6:02 pmMaybe they get around the FairPlay rules by their owners personally paying for the players.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 4:06 pmGood question. Plus why didn’t we bring in another striker when quite a few of our rivals did .The Reverend wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 2:22 pm How are clubs like Stevenage, Gillingham and Col U able to have an active January transfer window whilst we have to rely on loans of kids and freebies who haven’t played for a year?
