Flitting between the county league and mates rates
CURRY AT £19 A PLATE?
MEAL IN 1901 £90
PAY £75 FOR THE H BUS?
BOOKING FEES ON TICKETS?
All things that seem unpopular so where can we save these millions.
Getting rid of park and ride and special buses would for me not be a problem as long as my ticket still gave me free travel on regular buses and trains within the city,could others cope,surely you could drive and park within the city and use the buses/ trains. We do have have 7 railway stations (including portslade) within the city. The club needs help from the fans on this one and paul barber is left with an impossible task to balance the books. HELP HIM!

Aside from promotion, what if Mr Barber is so good at his job, he's 'accidentally' cut our loss to only £4m.

Which by my limited understanding of FFP would be £1m under.

Do you think the money would be invested back to the fans,

would we all get lanyards?
Fixture lists written in gold leaf?
Replica kit made from Ermine?

At present they are running the club to the maximum permitted FFP loss and any savings will just go towards the playing budget, leaving 'the loss' the same.

This. I'm sure it's wrong of me, but it would make me laugh if Barber sent out one of his "don't panic, everything is ok chaps" emails that said "The good news is that we've reinstated the park and ride, we've brought back the nice pie boxes, we've made the 1901 food reasonable again and we'll no longer charge a booking fee on match tickets. The bad news is we've sold Liam Bridcutt, and none of the money will be reinvested into the playing side".

I wonder how people would react?

Play a load of our kids in an easy game just before the Jan window opens, sell the ones who put in a good performance for 7 figure sumes to the Premier League birds of prey.

Laugh when the Prem clubs realise they are 1-game-wonders :guitar:

That isn't as stupid as it sounds. After all he could break a leg in training today and never be the same player again; then not only do we not get any money for him but we lose even more money keeping a 'sicknote' on the books.

Buying and selling players is always a gamble, and Bridcutt himself was signed as a replacement for the injured Navarro. We could sell Bridcutt tomorrow and that new guy, Kenny Auguststeam or whatever his name is, could turn out to be the 'new' Bridcutt - or he could turn out to be a huge flop.

'Ees complicated as someone once said - but £8m sounds VERY tempting.
