Sunbury Fox Posted 22 May 2021 Share Posted 22 May 2021 He's a great player but I would rather us spend money elsewhere, given that cash is likely to be quite tight. I think that we should wait to see what Justin is like when he returns to the team before deciding to splurge cash on another left back. Before his injury Justin was looking so good - and we have decent back up in this position with Thomas and Timmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets us through 12 months whilst JJ and Ricky get back up to speed. 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 The lucrative new deal we’ve signed make these deals financially viable without the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had the CL money...... you get it when you qualify so we haven’t lost anything. The deal is a huge deal which offers up a significant amount of investment..... the club have been working hard to creat new bonds with new stakeholders which will help to increase the clubs financial position.

FoxinNotts Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 As long as any debt is serviceable, it isn’t a problem. Our current debt looks very manageable, in terms of the global profile our club is now receiving. I reckon we’re in a great position, relative to the type and level of player we want to attract and the likes of Gosens seems attainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. But to say we are now financially strong is wrong in my opinion. We needed more than a shirt sponsorship to balance the books.. yes, it’s a great deal but add the £60 from the CL to that and then we would be in a position to dictate things.

There’s nothing wrong with our finances?? We’re the best ran club in the league... we’ve already pretty much sorted two signings, and we have others in the pipelines we’re also negotiating a new deal for Youri, we’re in a strong financial position. We have a ceiling of course we do because we’re self sufficient, but there is a reason King Power was built from the ground up to become what it is today. The people at the very top are savvy business people, we also have an excellent chief executive officer in Susan Whelan who along with KP has been working hard to secure major relationship with key stakeholders. You don’t need to lose sleep over finances, we’re fine, and we can afford more than you think, it’s still a modest budget, but it’s one that will enable us to compete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No specifics yet, but I've seen journalists say it's "lucrative". Could be anything, really. Everton's is worth about £10m per year I think.

We'd get no where near 60 mill for qualifying for the UCL unless we make it into the latter rounds. a proportion of the payout is now based on coefficient which we wouldn't score highly in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were King power not paying for the shirt sponsorship? Was it a perk of owning the club? If they were paying I don’t imagine we are like getting triple the amount nor or anything from the new company.. unless we have found a way for King power to sponsor something else which would be totally legit and above board so that we get both sponsorship incomes..
