Takeover

[Fulham Fallout]

And what’s the benefits to the club for branching out into being a property developer?

Would this income be allowed in the FFP calculations?  Of course not, else every other rich club would have lots of other business ventures under the club’s limited company.

Next!

You’re correct.  Stadium match day revenue and naming rights for the stadium are the two main areas to focus on

Disagree Prag, it's hardly a novelty for clubs to diversify their commercial revenue streams. If we end up with an owner willing to put money in then means of investment outside of FFP constraints that can then be counted towards commercial revenues is a viable way to build that up, whether that be naming rights, conferences, shows, renting out land for events (don't know why we haven't partnered with DDC for something on the Hawthorns Pub/Greggs car park). The Hawthorns has excellent road and public transport links yet has been underutilised for that stuff, there's fuck all outdoor stadium shows in Birmingham for example so why not use it in the summer more?

I am yet to see an English club which owns an oil mining plant in the Middle East. 

If the income can’t go into the FFP calculations, then it’s pointless.

No but there's loads of scope for licensing for commercial opportunities which can be counted towards FFP income, obviously that's in conjunction with building the brand up on the pitch so easier said than done but it's not something that should be dismissed and we can't limit ourselves to just matchday income.

Spurs leasing space for a microbrewery on their ground is a good example of creative revenue approaches.

Using part of the ground, yes.  Building West Bromwich Village akin to Bicester village, no.
