OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2021 Liverpool will be concerned - their team is ageing and they're already in a position where they'll shortly need massive investment in order to maintain their current status. If that comes with the risk of no longer being guaranteed a place in the top four they have really difficult decisions to make on whether to stick or twist. If you're Liverpool right now do you want to risk paying Mo Salah £400k a week for four years, or do you let him go to Newcastle and try to rebuild with the £120m they give you for him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon will have 52k at every home game. That is a hell of a lot of revenue 10,000 more than us a game - that's 190,000 people a season, it around £6m over the course of a season. Manchester City's official tyre partner pays them £10m a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Griffin Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 18 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Arsenal have an eleven year waiting list for tickets. They might not all turn up on a Saturday, but all the seats get sold. They have 45k season tickets and a 60k stadium. Match day revenue is critical for a club. That is why clubs spend hundreds of millions increasing stadium capacity. Man Utd make over 100m in match day revenue in a season. That is about 1/6 of total revenue.

villalad21 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Newcastle will always fill their stadium. Unlike Man City that will never be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in beer, pies and other shyte and it is 2.5m. 19 home game in the league and cup and Europe and it is well in excess of 50m a year. That is not an after thought for a company that has revenue in the low hundreds of millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea will spend with Abramovich and City will keep going. Could leave one spot. United might eventually run out of money. Spurs and Arsenal will go further back Will be worried owners today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, Old Trafford has been 97.1% full, the Emirates has been 96.8% full. Arsenal don't lose out to Man Utd because Utd have a bigger ground.

It will increase their profitability and with P&S that will allow them to spend the money they want to on new players. If it is worth 50m a year that would be worth about 200m in transfers in a transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2021 It'll be interesting to see how and when they start. Will Bruce be gone by the next matchday, how quickly will they appoint a CEO (hands off Purslow please), how much work will they have already done in the last twelve months while they're waited for the takeover to go through? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
