Short term gain for long term pain.
If the clubs and his vision is to alienate the fanbase he’s 100% cracked it. I doubt it is so let’s wait and see before he starts patting himself on the back.

In the gospel the cleansing of the temple occurs when Jesus overthrows the trading going on because it's a place or worship.  He called it a den of thieves.

At Villa Park the cleansing of the bogs never occurs..

He's turning water into whine.

We can’t judge whether this is a bad decision yet. Time will tell. I’m with purple trousers on this, in that every 3.2m adds up. As a CEO of a 200m entity, if you are cavalier about that sort of money you get sacked, not the other way around.

Thanks for that, but not sure fairy tales are all that relevant.

I dont think there's much room for doubt over the existence of an historical Jesus. It would have made sense for an act such as this to have occurred given his proactive entrance into Jerusalem probably not being enough to be executed, never mind a means of execution usually reserved for slaves.

I'm not sure why Footy's algorithm has raised it though.

Lets hope Footy does the pricing for the Juventus game and gives us a biblical discount..

Look out for another GA+ area called The Ark where those who pay a fortune to enter two by two are promised, but not guaranteed, dry floors in the toilets.

The more I think about the more it stacks up (the logic and the cash). The edging up season tickets (again but not as bad as we were lead to fear); the big jump in match day league prices; the shrinkflation of taking away toilets for GA, of taking the Holte Suite from STH; the stalling on offering no/minimum new STs so the waiting list gets dusty, the whole emphasis on GA+. Now the alienating CL tix travesty.
Nearly all of this we rightly feel wronged by. And individually argue the small (massive by my standards) amounts of cash don’t make that much difference, yet they will added up and that’s his remit. Yet again I’m not defending, and we can question is it worth it, how much do we want extra cash for extra players given the costly mistakes of the past.

I still think the pricing is a mistake, and at the same time can imagine criticism for not going all out to do the more difficult thing, to stay in the CL. Being in a few years running is clearly the need and the attempt to stay up with  and become one of the big boys.
