Corporate can use it 24/7 now. This isn't the silver bullet that makes us a top team.

The gate receipts in 2022 were 21 million. A 25% increase in capacity will assuming we sell out every week will see roughly a 25% increase in matchday revenue. Let's say 6 or 7 million pounds. A lot of that money will be needed to service the loan. This isn't going to be the game changer people imagine.

I don't think the loan will be anything to do with the stadium, just cash flow like in the past.

I think it'll be something like that.

What's any of that got to do with the stadium?

To a club that sacks managers after 4 games when they're not even in the bottom 3? Probably not.

Welcome to foxestalk. Hate for the sake of hating.

I'm sceptical whether expansion makes economic sense. Ticket sales are a small of the clubs income now. A 25% increase in capacity and therefore a 25% increase in ticket revenue isn't going to be a game changer even if we sell out every week. A lot of the extra income would have service the debt anyway. The way things are going, I can see every game televised in this country in a few years, which is bound to affect the gate. We could end up with a white elephant.

With my looks? I don't need to pay

Last season we were promoted.

3 years ago we won the cup.

Good for you, I like being in the Premier league.

He's still at school. He's a school kid.

We got relegated, so did 2 other teams. 3 teams will be relegated this season. It happens. I've seen us relegated many times before and I'll see it again. Changing the owners will achieve nothing and will probably make things worse.

Dream on.

I think we all assumed that would happen when they were took over. I'm not sure why it hasn't happened. I know the last manager seemed to not pick our players on principle, whether the new guy is the same

We all want that, but are we a football team or a factory for producing other teams talent? The team has to come first.

Eh?

He 15 years old playing for the under 21s, unless you know for sure that's he's demanding first team football thats plenty? There's no evidence to suggest he is but if he was, too bad. Pandering to school children is no way to run any business

So you're saying we should put a 15 year old in the first team , whether that's best for the team or not and that will magically stop him signing for another team?

So let's just say the owners sell up, what are you expecting from the new guys? Do you think we'll be permanent members of the top 6, we'll never make a bad signing, players or managers, we'll never get relegated? If it was that easy why hasn't every other club that's been taken over achieved the same thing?

The job is Carsley's to lose. He'd have to have a disastrous few games not to get it.

K'Nell Kasey, that was embarrassing.

Kasey coming on.

I hope Ipswich kept the receipt.
