Perhaps somebody should nominate Tony Philliskirk for something. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nominate-someone-for-a-uk-national-honour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I think it's crucial they get an appointment that will keep fans excited.. they've done a few things well this season, it's important they keep it this way with the right appointment.

opinions4u Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) So are we to gather blitz is back bankrolling us and when will it be sorted.I think that's jumping ahead a little. The club's debt has increased sharply, from £5.9m to £8.2m at 30th June 2014. The reasonable assumption is that Blitz has "invested" the money needed to build the new stand. I'd also assume it's increase from £8.2m to a higher number in the last ten months. I think it's highly likely that he's expecting a return on this investment. So as the retail units in the new stand hand over their rents to Latics I'd expect a proportion of this new income to be used to repay a chunk of that new debt each year and eventually a chunk of the old debt too. It might even be that 100% of rental income minus maintenance costs goes on debt reduction (my guess). But sell 11 boxes out at £14k a piece, get 100 people to part with £675 for a posh seat, get a few more vanilla season tickets sold and have 400 beer drinkers supping away pre-match and post-match and you can easily add £250k or more to the annual wage bill. If Blitz is less demanding with his debt repayment requirements than I've suggested above there could be an even bigger boost that allows us to employ a "name" as manager and get a bloody striker to score 20+ a season.

NewBlue Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 How many extra season tickets can the club expect to sell if Dowie is appointed under the back drop of the new stand? The average the season he was manager was over 6000. How many will be captivated enough to return with this new-found ambition? Could we expect over 3000 ST holders for a start?

oafc1955 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 That would be about a 15% increase which I think the new stand alone should generate...I should think a Dowie appointment would hopefully add another 10% on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
