Why do posters like yourself keep coming out with BS that you can't back up. Certain people are desperate for FSG to be H+G, it gives them a opportunity to get back up on their soap box and have a rant.
In one.
Some fans want, no,
demand, that the club must be owned by people who are willing to plough every penny they own into it and then to borrow more at their own expense and put that into the club, too, without ever taking a penny out or ever considering the prospect of selling.
Of course, if such lunatics exist, they'll already long ago have pissed away any money they have and be in no position to buy a packet of fags, much less a Premier League football club.
There's also a depressing willingness, no,
determination, to read everything in the most negative and offensive manner imaginable. I remember some kids like this at school, who would always leap on anything anybody said, desperate to find some excuse to take offence. I thought it was idiotic then and I haven't warmed to it since. Surely it gets tiring? Surely it is irritating? What satisfaction can there be in it? Someone said something that can possibly be interpreted as an insult, so I must take it that way and get all hissy about it, even though I have no idea of the context. They have to know they are doing this? Just knock it off for a week or so, see if life gets easier.
Nobody here knows what extending the ARE would cost. Nobody knows what ticket prices FSG had envisaged for it. Nobody outside of the club and the owners has any of the information needed to calculate what it would cost them to lend the funds to the club to do the work, or indeed if there is proven demand for that many more tickets.
I especially like the double-think around the "new tv deal" money. As if we were competing not with other Premier League sides, who have all also got "new tv deal" money, but with the Liverpool FC of a few years ago. As if we were somehow preserved in time, locked in the recent past, and our competition were all electing not to spend their own income on transfer fees and wages for never-specified reasons, but were playing according to the budgets they had before.
And finally, the "FSG are bleeding us dry" bullshit needs to be called for what it is. Like them or choose to loathe them, they have never taken money out of the club and they have never taken money out of the Red Sox. That's not how their business model works. More money for the club just means more spent on players, mostly on wages. If anyone's "bleeding us dry" it's that mercenary bunch of lads in red.
We don't resent them for it, though, do we?
