Daniel Levy - Chairman

Now would be a good time for Levy to do an interview. He rarely does them so I won't hold my breath.

He could clarify how he sees our pay structure developing with the new stadium.

The Fighting rooster podcast are always suggesting he'd be their number one guest on the show.

I think it's obvious we'll be able to increase our wages with an increased turnover. I don't think it would be good for Levy to say much more than that anyway.
 
If we have stuck to a ratio of 50:50 wages to revenue under levys tenure, i would expect this to be the same at the minimum in the new stadium.

Anyone want to hazard a guess what this means for us wages wise?
 
It doesn't really matter if we increase wages if the 5 richer teams are able to raise them quicker (it's not the levels it's the differentials), worried about all the flimflam sponsorship deals they can achieve. Man u have an official tractor partner, Liverpool have an official Chinese water partner and an official doughnut partner.

Will take a good few years of competing to catch up

I think it's at least another 5 seasons (successful ones) before we can level up with the Liverpool and Arsenal finances.

When you think about it, if we didn't have a stadium to pay for we'd be quite close now ,merely by zero net spending compared to their 60/70m lay out most years.

It's a miracle we are where we are.
 
I worry we missed the boat during Sugars barren years when most of the growth has happened. Maybe we can win a lot of US support where there is still a lot of growth potential.

I am amazed we compete, very lucky to have Poch on board during these times.

I wouldnt be happy to put numbers to it, but I would be happy to suggest a significant increase.

I realise TV money dwarves all other income, but the stadium is (almost) doubling in size, with our matchday revenue set to increase significantly. AND it is being designed such that it offers year round use and income outside of football. NFL games, concerts, all the stuff on site like the sky bar and roof walk and sports centre... Its being done in such a way it really should be something of a cash cow for the club.

With all that being considered I cant help but think our turnover is going to take a very healthy boost - and so in turn will our wage budget.

And that is before we consider any performance related earnings, which recently has increased a lot as well. While it might not be something to rely upon, it could be something we achieve over the forseeable future as well.

Your logic makes sense but we have IMO much more scope to increase our revenue in
big chunks which others don't

We don't have sleeve sponsors, training ground sponsors or training gear sponsors and that's just a start

The new ground will bump up revenues by £50m or more but obviously there's a financing cost to factor too

Levy needs to get on the blower to Dunkin' Donuts then. The NFL link will provide the perfect leverage.

I'd certainly be fully supportive of such an alliance...

All things being equal they get paid more for the same sponsorship, man u kit sponsorship vs ours is huge
 
Of course but the only way we can near is by getting more
agree - but it will take a long time before we get near, we will be raising our wages throughout but for those that think that we wont have a Danny Rose situation in the future because we are paying more will be disappointed as he does not think he is underpaid now, just underpaid compared to his rivals - which is a different thing (IMO).
