You do wonder how the new owners are going to finance annual losses of £4m whilst investing £m's in two new stands which, whilst they are being constructed, will probably mean reduced attendance leading to reduced income. Even if they cut the wage bill by 25% and losses by a similar sum, that still leaves substantial losses each season until both new stands are built. Buying and selling players like Conteh is the only model that makes sense. Assuming we can sell him at a profit, Connolly, McCormick and Taylor all looked similar good signings but we probably couldn't sell any of them at present not for a profit anyway. We're certainly not going to sell players we spend all this season struggling for several in L1. |

It's neither an exact science, nor an over night fix but it's the only way we are going to lose less money each year. We don't generate any non match day revenue so player sales and owners deep pockets are the only thing keeping us going. |

We need a manager who can develop players, not sure characterless MT with his hoof ball approach is ever going to do that, suggesting Ryan Jones is useless as he couldn't get into Bromley's play off promoting side is hardly going to help him progress. |

Newcastle are said to be facing the possibility of having to sell Isak or Guimaraes when their wealthy owners would probably like to be recruiting instead - seems less and less teams will have cash to spend on signings which will surely drive down transfer fees and affect the income of lower league sides who sometimes rely on selling the odd gem to keep ticking over. |

This is why the East stand and North end need to be developed properly, we need better facilities inside to help generate more income. The club should also be looking at ways of making more use of the stadium during the summer, even Yate Town have six events over Five days during May. |

The entire ground needs to look a bit sexier. Extending the stand, as is, would be like a turd being dumped on another, twice the eye sore. |

Absolute nonsense that there is a possibility they have to sell one of their good players to sign other players. |

Why is is stupid that clubs should have to spend within their means? No clubs will ever be able to make the leap across and challenge at the top of the table. Teams like Man U will have higher revenues and will forever be able to outspend anyone else on players. Why shouldn’t the likes of Newcastle be able to benefit from a very wealthy owner willing to inject cash into the club (which in turn benefits the local area like Man City’s owners have done) which also sees the transfer system ticking over which benefits lower league clubs. Would we have been able to survive over the years without selling players for millions? Everton being penalised despite being profitable on transfer deals but the cost of building a stadium is counting against their so called sustainability - a new stadium will help them increase their revenues but the system seems to be wanting to stop teams progressing, seems like the elite clubs want to remain elite and not let anyone else join them. Wealthy owners should be able to inject cash into a club - money from outside that is then entering the football industry. That’s way different to being allowed to saddle a claim with loans. |

Just reading about Birmingham City's new stadium, the overall cost is £2B/£3B and they hope to be playing their in 5 years time, what's the betting our refurbished East Stand takes just as long and costs 10p in comparison.

If our owners had any ambition they’d be looking to spend 2 to 3 billion on building us a new ground. Bunch of wasters 🤣🤣 |

Surely it can’t be long until we get to see the plans ? I’m sure we were told it was a couple of weeks away and that was about 3 weeks ago ! 😂
We could def do with hearing a bit of good news after what seems like many weeks of misery.

Planning is going to be a problem now. Bristol is going to be run by committees with the Greens holding the power.

I wonder if they still think they need a 62,000 seater stadium, now they are in League 1 😂. |

I think he said the plans would be finished then, but they wouldn't show fans. They said they would take them to the council and relevant people and make amendments before showing them. So I didn't think we will see anything soon. |
