Whatever revenue we generate we don't have to spend
No doubt the club is allocating money away to show only a nominal profit (cooking the books but the other way)
The majority of the costs are determined before the season starts, including wages. Maybe there are a small amount of savings that can be made but we also have win bonuses ?so need to build in Come contingency).
A big part of our owner’s involvement is to promote Abu Dhabi and the level of small profits won’t be very important to the Sheikh. IMHO we should pay our way and not make losses. It’s a shame that this includes an increase in season card prices that I hoped would be frozen.
I’ve seen a few references in other posts to people cancelling Cup Scheme membership but these are free anyway and the end result might be more fans paying for cup match tickets.
