Takeover

[SONGTHRUSH]

When it comes to pure ROI - time or money, there is only one game in town.  Fuck multiplexes, fanzones, hotels and discount shopping.  It is very simple yet hard to execute:  Focus everyone's attention on getting promoted to the Premier League.  One job.  Millions.

I don't want the new bosses focussed on anything but that.

Erm, without trawling through nearly 200 pages - is anything actually happening on this takeover?

I think you need page 143

...even £10k a week to a squad, that only really makes money on a match day every couple of weeks and relies on a few conferences per week to local charities and the council etc, naff imo concerts on a couple of occasions in the summer and flogging any decent young players we have every season is not a business plan it’s a long drawn out decline to mediocrity.

You have to be careful here. I've seen many 'consultants' eschew the bread and butter to chase the sexy stuff, but ultimately it's the the 'naff' bread and butter that makes the money that visionaries use to waste chasing their dream.

It’s not really “millions”.  The extra millions are absorbed very quickly in transfer fees, much higher wages, agent’s fees etc.  It doesn’t leave much left, and that’s just to be in a league when there’s a 90% chance of relegation within 2 years.   That’s not really ongoing revenue-raising because within 3 years of going up we could be in exactly the same position that we are now.  

A bit like a game of Snakes and Ladders.

That's if you follow the traditional route.  There's a shocking lack of innovation in football leadership - barely a single novel thought.

There is a small sports corridor within 500yrds
A golf course/ cricket ground/ lawn bowls.
Opportunity to collaborate and use the facilities on a match day.

In a word - no.

Personally, I'm still waiting to hear if Ben Spencer on Twitter has anything further to report after he announced that Patel had pulled out of a potential deal.
