Fans are stakeholders. Why do you feel that fans shouldn't be allowed to discuss this on a discussion forum?
I think you're loosely applying the term... BFC has no reason, need or legal requirement to divulge where any money goes.
......... ‘we won’t be frivolous with it’ ...... Who says !?!?! Everyone on here has this opinion that these owners are going to spend fook all or next to nowt. WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS ??? It’s foooking barmy !!! If all the world knew you and your partners were billionaires and had just bought a football club, would you say at the press conference: 1) we are going to be very careful on what we spend. 2) we are going to buy every player we fancy and spend money like nutters. Choose one. As I’ve said before - no one buys a vintage car that needs doing up - and then parks it on the drive to rot away. No one knows what will happen with these owners. Owt could happen.
It would change my stance enormously. If the money is still in the club and is open for use to build. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if they added another 50 quid to next season's ST. If that money isn't no longer available and is in someone else's account. Then I won't be none too pleased with any increases if it's not going to build the club. In fact id be on the bandwagon to push for all things reducing
Let me get this right and correct me if I’m wrong please Club has lots of money = you don’t mind paying extra every week Or Club still has lots of money (provided by new owners), previous owner makes a profit as new owners intend to do but no body has minded yet so far = you get a titty lip on?
What have the new owners provided? Any money they are spending is it from what was already in the club's account or not? The owners have already said they are not going to go daft. They will increase revenue streams to invest. What this thread started out as is what's happened to the cash already gained. And it's obvious no one knows. To reiterate if the money is from what's already in the club. No I don't mind paying more as it's shown that it's being reinvested. If it no longer exists no I'm ot happy to put money in someone else's pocket if they are going to pocket from sales of players and not put at least some of it back in. It's not hard to understand that surely?
I don't think you understand how business works... or your role in supporting a football club. You pay your money, you turn up, you cheer on your team, you go home. You want to discuss what you've seen on the pitch, go for it; discussing anything financial or business related is pointless... It'd be like going to a shop and buying a bag of crisps then asking how much the shopkeeper took that day, or what they did with their wages last week.
Football clubs only survive due to the emotional investment made by supporters. I have no emotional investment to shops
