@ryan_murton I think I probably agree, mainly because the whole thing needs to become more sustainable. And we’ll have high revenue, relatively. But doesn’t it mean we’ll be forced to sell best players whether we like it or not? Had well over 85% last season in the champ
@ryan_murton Totally agree. Some story going around about Walker staying on next year… those wages for an aging player in the championship is what gets clubs into the position Leicester are in. And we don’t have any players who will bring in much, unlike last time. I fear for the future
@ijdb74@PDBertram@anon_opin That social aspect has mostly disappeared since the domination of FOBT machines. They are no longer pleasant places to hang out. Their differentiation is that they take cash and are easier to get around problem gambling / AML protections than online
@PDBertram@anon_opin Completely rational. But that’s the function of governments, they intervene when the market fails to deliver a desirable outcome for society
@carlyblade @JimmyRambleYT Normally yeah. But they’ve been relegated since August. Everyone knew they were down. But we expected you to be pushing for promotion. So relative to expectations, your season is worse
@nathanrogersfbl@TurfCastPodcast Agree with most of that. Biggest worry is where we’ll be in a couple of years. Unacceptably high chance that we’ll be left with high debts and insufficient income to service it. Then it’s a dark dark place
@CWeatherspoon_@TurfCastPodcast The only way out would be to get a promotion to the prem then not spend a penny and use the TV money to pay off the debt. But fans wouldn’t accept that. I fear what happens if we fail to bounce back straight away
