So if you want to do some figures then...…
Last season we raised £100k BTB which was spent on players over and above the budget that would have been available from the 3,500 fans (although it was more like 4,200 last season). Add onto that any money spent from the Taylor sell on fee and it shows again that the current revenue streams are not enough and we need to increase/improve them.
We should be aiming to increase the budget by at least 50% so that we can then offer £1,200 a week to someone instead of £800 (that's just example numbers as I don't know what we actually pay).
Fans are not bashing the 'model' as such because we all realise that we are now fan owned and we don't really want to move away from this into a sugar daddy model that would jeopardise the future of the club.
However what we do need to look at is how we can increase revenue streams or attract 'additional' investment into the club that will allow us maybe sign players we could sell on or simply just recruit better quality which would then pay for itself with crowds over the budget and break even figure.

Pagl how many more times.. Stop talking sense... We will see how much money we have now the sell on fees have dried up because we have no young talent to sell that revenue stream has near enough gone, so we're reliant on BTB forever more and if no success that will also eventually dwindle.... Yes we need money from somewhere but complacency seems to be the future with some.
