The Captain on ticket prices

His so-called importance is of limited interest to the club in a season of so many injuries.
Can you really see Pep putting up with our best central defender being out half the time? VK isn't City 2016, he may have been pure City in the past, but not when he's in the treatment room.
Putting up with it? You and others make out as if he fucking intends to get injured. He's very much City 2016 and he'll be City 2017 if he's still at the club and so on..
 
I was referring to the captains role being important in a general sense rather than him having sway over ticket prices. I think we're lucky enough to have one of the best in the business.
Agreed. The bloke speaks well (incredible to think that English is not his mother tongue), and he also speaks with passion. Added to that is his incredible respect for opponents. Gobshites like Ferdinand, Rooney, Scholes, Keane, Gerrard etc, etc could learn a lot from him, but are far too fucking arrogant to admit any failings on their own part.
 
It's a sobering thought that our ENTIRE matchday revenue is less than the increase in revenue we've got from the BT money. i.e. on receipt of the BT money we could have decided to make every home game completely free for everyone, and we would still have been better off than the previous season.

In that context, I really do think raising ticket prices is completely outrageous.

How much they raising them by ?
 
Mine would go up to £648 but I'm due a discount as I've sold a couple on the trader. The cash would've been nicer as I could've gone out and got pissed for free.
 
Soriano is a bean counter, his only interest is in meeting the total revenue target set by Khaldoon.

We've gotta be 'sustainable'!!!

Anyway, I think some fans have a fuckin' cheek when yer consider what some of the owners have ploughed in. Lerner at Villa has 'lost' tens of millions. Mike Ashley, love him or loathe him, has put millions in. If these folk hadn't stumped up with their money when they did I suspect some clubs would have been in Shit Street a lot sooner.

Soriano is a CEO. He's an employee doing what is asked of him by the owner(s).
 
Supporters put tens of millions into the club every year and have done so for decades.
This always gets forgotten. When people used to say we shouldn't criticise John Wardle because he's put £20m into the club, I used to respond that we fans put at least that in every season so why shouldn't we have a say. When you tot up tickets, merchandise, TV subscriptions I bet it's not far short of £100m a year goes into the club from our pockets. And we don't get that back when the club is sold or pays dividends.

Not a great deal is the answer,he bought the club for £130M which he will get back when he sells,with profit if they're in the premiership at the time.
He gave the club a interest free loan of the same amount I believe,so will get that back minus interest of course.
Sports Direct pays nothing for advertising inside the club which must be worth millions to him and Sports Direct took over all the NUFC club shops although I'm not sure what the the club gets revenue wise from this arrangement.
Doesnt grab me as a great philanthropist.
