Ambrobitch wrote most of the debt of through equity a couple years back as did Man City, so it is not a question of making their money back.
To say the owners of those clubs deserve 'credit' is taking the complete and utter piss.

Abramovich is a genius.
:Cascarino:
I think I actually agree with Joker on this, well to an extent, the ticket prices will keep rising just like our wages will keep rising. There is only one choice to make if you can't justify the cost and the Citeh fans have made that decision. And it's fair enough because it's not just £62, you'll have to add at least another £40 on top of that for travel and then you need to have food also.
But you can't just say he's just writing the money off, he cares about get some back otherwise why bother ever increasing prices?Originally Posted by Letters
Clearly in the future they want their clubs to be financial powerhouses, they may not get their money back now but in the long term if the clubs become big enough they'll become a licence to print money with the potential in the Asian market for example.
I posted in another thread my dad has paid £125.15 for a ticket to watch the lolerhoof game
It's just a normall seat in the upper tier
madness.
I also find it unfair where the away allocation is, that home fans should be in the lower corner and move the away fans to the upper tier to provide the cheaper tickets for the home supporters.

Other than Wenger of course.
Football clubs are businesses. It's simple supply and demand to raise prices to what the market will bear.
I don't believe he sees Chelsea as a charity and will fund it completely, even he couldn't afford to do that indefinitely, of course he's going to get what money back he can. I don't think he ever expects to see all his money back either though and I don't think he wants to.
He's bought the CL and a load of other trophies, hooray, well done him! I think the reflected glory of that is what he's interested in, I don't think he's expecting to see a profit from it.
I may be wrong of course, but that's how I've always seen it.
they will not be claiming back a billion plus in dividends at any point in the future - so forget any idea of a profit. roman is not in it for that clearly - you just have to look at his employment policy to understand this is just a toy for him and chelsea fans are finally waking up to that fact too.
and credit? for ruining the game and creating an even bigger division between those 'with' and those 'without'? no thanks, i'm not about to pat any business man on the back whose only interest is to ruin the game i love for their gain. i don't have a huge problem with the money being spent as it takes far more than that to sustain success (although it makes it a lot easier) but i won't be congratulating any of them either.
these are business men, not football men, so as far as i'm concerned they can foad.

I was more interested in the ticket prices argument, we don't really have a leg to stand on on that issue...we charge the most and deliver the least of all the top clubs, both in terms of transfer spend and results/success.
Our model isn't one of "football men" either, football didn't use to be about not giving a sh*t about what happens on the pitch and only caring about what's coming into the bank, I hate our model and nothing about it gives me any satisfaction at all, at least the fans at those clubs with mega rich owners gets something back for their money, we get nothing but BS and patronising opinions.
i wouldn't dream of using our directors as the shining light of football fans in the boardroom - they are ****s, absolute massive ****s of the highest order running my club into the ground for their gain. although, the idea they are hiding behind is the correct one.
i believe ticket prices would have continued to go through the roof without these guys anyway, simply because of the way the premiership has been marketed over the past 20 years and everyone wants to grab as much money as they can.
