Villa Park Redevelopment

[ChicagoLion]

I'm sure I read that Spurs' new stadium has an on site brewery. So it'll cost to make the beer but they won't have to pay to transport it. This presumably equals more profit when they sell it on matchday.

But of their beers on sale are the usual mass produced crap.

Deloitte, using one assumes the club's accounts, provide one number, but some really figure plucked from the air calculations by people on the internet say "Nah, reckon it's 5 times as much".

I know who I believe. It's almost as bad as when people, who are not engineers with a long history of working on projects like this, assure us it "wouldn't be too difficult" to implement whatever utterly hatstand idea they have for adding seats.

The history and credibility of audit "partners" like Deloitte might lead you to swing more towards randomers on the internet for your facts. They were the audit partner of the basket case FAI for over 20 years, for example.

Deloitte / PWC both have form when it comes to massaging the numbers . As for high turnover relating to a high tax bill, anyone with half a brain will know there's plenty of avenues for avoiding the tax man.

I suspect that very rarely involves inflating your income.

It does if you have half a brain.

So with the catering staff we have we literally won't be able to organise a piss up in a brewery.

Yes but what happens when the horse dies?

One for the teenagers there.

Very good Lee! :-)

Helps with FFP though in the Football Industry

To be fair, you probably have us beat on that score.

Made me laugh 

Like that Marx Brothers line ...

"Why, this is so simple even a 5 year old could understand it!"
"Quick! Someone bring me a 5 year old! I can't make head nor tail of this"

There's a reason he was banned twice before.

Sponsorship.
Nothing to do with Accountants, it’s to do with them being owned by an oil state and connected parties paying massively over the odds.

Newcastle marchday income is Ł38m. A ground with 10,000 more seats. West Ham is Ł41m, a ground with 20,000 more seats. I refer to the honoruable member for Satriales in his scathing rebuke of the accounts deniers and the fanciful notion that Ł70 per head is about right.

Like Cato before me, I call for the destruction of Villa Park and a new ground please.

Which is supposed to not happen under FFP. Artificially inflating sponsorship deals is against the rules
