This guy is at it again. One of the better blogs on the net and he takes his second look at our beloved club.

It's a bloody long read, I'll get around to it eventually!

 

[ArtyB]

The short version...we are doing OK but our soaring wage bill means we are fucked if we don't get into the Champions League, and in the long term we need a bigger stadium to keep up with the big boys.

 

[drwinston001]

yeah, ArtyB's right. Interesting to read and see all the comparisons between us and others though.

TBH this is must-read. Amazing amount of analysis. Genuinely interesting!

Our game day revenues are a bit shit compared to a few teams but they are surprisingly bigger than the Milan teams and Juventus, who seem to rely on massive TV revenues to make up the difference.

 

[drwinston001]

also the same as Liverpool's which just shows considering their 9000 extra seats how much more we charge for tickets.

Wow, a lot of financial information in there. In fact it was pretty much all about the business side of the club, interesting read nonetheless.

That's what Swiss Ramble does ... write about the business side of football clubs. Very, very good reads.

Knowledge to Windy is what a crack pipe is to a whore.

 

[S.L.R]

Great read, even though he is a scummer.

It makes it obvious what a great job Levy is doing of extracting maximum value out of the club. Our income is clearly limited by our size, capacity, etc. Imagine we had that 58,000 seater (and filled it every week).

Don't think we would fill 58k every week, unless we get some of those Man Utd type supporters who just go for a day out and to take pictures.

 

[Thelonious]

only if we get CL on a regular basis will we even go close to selling that out.

Have been a reader of swiss ramble for a while, tbf the beeb have started referencing Swiss for some time.

He reports objectively, something most fans can't be by definition.

 

[Coalhada]

Much more objective than his first crack at a Spurs article. He's a gooner, and you could tell with that one,
