Surely it’s not bad profit for simply handing the keys to an event management company and getting them back Monday morning? 

Are you suggesting other stadia will get more?

i think he is so engrossed in Yorkshire Tea going global and wiping the floor with lesser brands hes clouded his judgement

Wouldn’t get out of bed for less than £50k.

Send the diggers in.

To be honest I thought 40k was a bit shit, but looking on web London O2 charge 80k - so I suppose - taking into account North/South divide, 40k not far off the mark

Which idiots have come up the idea to name a stand after David Wheater so he can stay at club. First that Le Fondre shite petition now this, jesus wept...

I have stated my opinion and you obviously still want to play, what's your take on it?

we are a small club who needs every penny. so 40k is a lot of money. It may not be £1million but its money in we need. going forward we need additional revenue streams and this is a good start

It’s not profit though, there will be some additional costs of course, energy, pitch repairs, insurance etc 

I get how it could be worthwhile if we rented it out 10 or 20 times a year but I imagine the odd event here and there will barely wash its Face 

Our council tax is through the roof based on rateable value as we hire out for concerts etc - I’m not sure if we would be better off knocking all the events on the head and going to the council / government with a change of use argument to reduce our business rates right down 

Hard to tell without seeing the books but it certainly doesn’t look like the stadium can generate enough additional income to pay for itself or the current situation wouldn’t be as bad 

40k in any event is not to be sniffed at given our predicament

though I think it was Smiley who heard that the day after the event management paid the deposit, KA whacked in an invoice for the same amount (presumably for consultancy)

not that I'd spread such a rumour like, you'd have to ask @Smiley

Why would O'Sullivan pay £25 M to essentially get a loss making hotel and a deeply in debt L1 club ?

I think the administrators have wisely given that one a swerve.

This was Bassini who pre-admin said he had 30M ready to go. Now says he needs to borrow 25M from Sullivan. And that he has maybe "7M" of his own money ready. 

Absolutely utter tripe.

I said further up in this thread that the £40k was money received after the administrators took over on the 13th May. If a deposit was paid it would show in last years accounts so arguing about the £40k is pointless because it’s not known what the total cost was.

David Sullivan is another scumbag he wanted to own the stadium then loan it back to the club, we're never going to get rid off Bassini are we, why can't he fuck off & go buy Bury or something instead

 

Absolute fruit cake that man 

just call it a day fella 

The unflushable turd 💩

Like T-1000 that fucker keeps coming back

sorry, was on about the killers / little mix gigs from last year, not the rod stewart one last month

No problem. The same principle applies though. It would seem reasonable to assume that some sort of deposit or stage payment was paid when the contract was agreed.

Would Sullivan being involved not be a conflict of interests?
