It will have come from somewhere, whether or not it's right — and the piece is in fact bylined by their sports editor. Journalists get things wrong and some outlets certainly stretch things but it's really tiresome and dangerous to assume people are just lying. 99.99% are just doing their jobs. Keep undermining the media and you'll destroy a free press eventually — just as the dangerous b6stards in charge of this country wish you to. Rant over, sorry! [Post edited 13 May 2021 19:01]

I think it is a reasoned comment to question the £40m figure used, as there has been NO verification from ITFC.
There is also a marked difference between intentionally lying , and lazy journalism. My comment was suggesting the latter.
To retain a free press you need constant vigilance and challenge. What you are putting forward actually runs counter to that thought.....that we accept whatever is handed out because to question is to risk 'undermining the media'. |  | |  |

In fairness, no club is ever going to come out and say how much they have to spend... [Post edited 13 May 2021 21:43]

What are journalists these days other than social media gatherers and uni types with political agendas either way.
I look at all the mainstream papers online every day before I start work. They all carry the same stories with a different political analysis and sway - except when stories are so concrete but don't fall into their way of thinking, in which case they just won't run with it at all.
The worst two at the moment are The Express and The Guardian.
Gone are the Fleet Street days. It's all so very Beano now.
Edit; I've given this further thought and I am sure there are some very good investigative journalists out there. [Post edited 14 May 2021 9:58]

Doubt it will be that much but we have another journalist on this thread stating that he wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point.
I mean even a quarter of that would be a lot.

Be interesting to know how much of Steve Lansdown's money they spunked away to finish 19th in the Championship. |
I think Pearson won the first 2 or 3 games and then fell off a cliff edge. It would appear that it's only him and the company cat left in the building. Presumably there is a valid reason for us hoovering up all their staff, I see Dyer spoke very highly of the head of performance? | | | |

scares me when they quote figures like that, because instantly on twitter you see the eyes light up from people.
We've followed football long enough to know fees don't mean the players will be a success.
give me 5 quality freebies over 5 £3m signings any day. but some just don't see that |  |

5 quality freebies.......hmmmmmmm
We have had plenty of freebies for years and what has it given us?
The quality costs that's why we have to pay to progress. |  | | |

"It is said......."
By whom ?
Is there someone at Bristol who knows the exact figure, and if so how ? Or have they simply guessed, or confused that with the money it supposedly cost the new owners to buy the club ?
Is the figure an extra amount, a one off ?
If it is a one off amount then it will have to be used to cover the full mount of any contract, or is it the understanding that a similar amount will be available each season ?
If so, we are looking at one helluva amount to be repaid oi capital alone - never mind the interest from an investment.
Or in other words it is just some spotty herbert intern making things up |
The way SCMP works reflects in some ways the wat a pension investment works.
Under SCMP the owners cannot lend money - therefore nothing to pay back.
They will need to invest in potential, and the value of those assets will need to rise with or without the club. If they don't; just like any other investment its a loss. Some will rise significantly, others won't.
The key point to remember is there would need to be substantial investment on multiple potential assets for the model to work. Therefore no loan, no repayment. It would need a sum of that kind of figure to work.
The plan would also need to build a championship squad now to accelerate the process. | | | |
