It does look like another Leeds scenario,and we all know what happened there, you cannot sell all future revenue streams and still have a future income. Imagine our potential investors being told "yes you can by the club for X amount,But if the team is successful and gets into the Premiership, you will lose any ticket revenue from possibly ten thousand fans who will now have free tickets"that is somewhere around 4 to 5 million pound of lost revenue.
It all smacks a bit of short termism, and us fans aren't in it for the short term, we are stuck with it for life.It's O.K. for some short term current investors/profit seeking business men who by then will be sitting in the Caribbean villas drinking cocktails.
We are being told that this money will be made available to Dave Jones (that's a new one,NOT!!)yet next year we are supposedly paying back Langstones, PMG, HMRC so if we can do all that next year, how are we in such a mess this year and yet we have not made any payments to afore mentioned.And barring one or two players, our crown jewels have already been sold off, so there wont be the 28 million pounds player sales we have recently had.
I am genuinely concerned, I don't want to put any fans off buying season tickets, I'm in the process of buying mine, but I really am worried about our future.
