Idiots. Looks like they'll be showing Villa v Liverpool and Bolton v Man
City from the voting. 2 matches that dont mean anything to relegation, just
because of the volume of fans. They could easily just show the relegation
matches + ManUtd (anyway).

btw, If they are recording IPs, just try voting from a different machine or
connection (e.g. mobile, laptop, etc).

Therefore, besides TV income our remaining turnover is $22 million.

 

Let's work on an average attendance of 28,500 and average ticket price of $30 
(Steve's figure from earlier today) over 19 home games gives us 30 x 19 x 
28,500 = 16.245 million pound.

 

Let's say 16 million pound, giving us 6 million from other commercial 
activities.

 

So, if we build a new Stadium with 37,000 capacity we will most likely attain 
an average season attendance of 35,000. Equating to an extra yearly income of 
$30 x 19 x 6,500 = 3.7million.

 

Over the medium to long term this makes sense to me, our major source of 
income, apart from TV, is through the turnstiles. We need to try and increase 
this income as best we can.

 

By the way, I would have been happy with 17th place this season, consolidation 
was the sole aim in my book. If we stay up, then kick on next season and try to 
break into that 3rd quadrant Marcus is talking about.

 

Marcus, I am torn between accepting your very kind invitation to watch the game 
at your house or continue with my sad routines at home that have been 
successful these last 2 x games.

The same West Ham who have been paying ridiculous wages to people like Robbie

to ensure their survival, who have the football writer's player of the year 
(Scott Parker) turning out for them as well as England internationals such as 
Carlton Cole, Matthew Upson and Robert Green? 

 

Wigan have been building their squad over the last few years whilst in the 
Premiership and have outlayed way more than us on players. I wouldn't agree 
they have a weaker squad than us and would imagine their fans would be highly 
critical if they were. Maybe even more so than people on this list?!

 

Blackpool are a given and have done unbelievably well with the squad they have. 
Fantastic start to the season and may just manage to hang on, although if the 
season were a few games longer they'd probably be doomed given their form over 
the second half of the season.

 

Newcastle shed very few players when they went down to the Championship where 
they went the entire season unbeaten at home. The squad they went down 
with/came back up with was/is, in my opinion, stronger than ours and I'd hazard 
a guess was assembled with more of an outlay than ours.

 

Albion have done very well with the squad they've got, which is probably about 
on a par with ours. Odemwingye has to be one of the bargains of the season. 
Their success has been built on the 'slowly slowly' approach being questioned 
earlier - they've never over committed financially and have been prepared to 
accept relegations as part of a longer term plan to progress. Seems to be 
working.

Re: [NSWolves] RE: Progress [sec=unclassified]

2011-05-18 Thread Steven Millward
With property development you generally borrow money and as long as the
yield on the development is greater than the cost of capital then you make
money.

It's a pretty simple calculation to do in fact.

   - It's said to cost 16m for the first stage.
   - It adds 2,500 seats.
   - 30 quid a seat is 75,000
   - Times 19 games is 1.45m
   - That's a 9% yield.  Fairly reasonable for property development.
   - I assume not all seats are filled but that the hospitality will offset
   that and I haven't included that.  9% seems about right though.
   - The expansion is being funded from cash flow though, so if the return
   on the expansion is better than the return on other forms of investment then
   you would expand

Now try it when buying players so we can compare the returns and understand
Morgan's logic.

   - Spend X million on a player?
   - Residual value of Y million?
   - Wages of say 1.5m a year?
   - What does it get you as a return?
   - What are the risks associated with getting those returns as it affects
   the rate of return you'd want.  The risk is much higher so you'd want a much
   higher rate of return than for expanding the stadium

My personal opinion is that we currently have a better squad than, and
therefore should be ahead of, the following teams:

* West Ham

* Wigan

* Blackpool

* Newcastle

* West Brom

You say that 'With the squad we have we should be in the Premier League

It's not a case of leaving seats empty for safety if you can walk up to
a turnstile every home game and buy a ticket.  I have friends there that
are doing exactly that most home games.

The new stadium is actually an opportunity to generate more money, not
only through increased capacity/ticket sales but through the 'non
football' facilities that will be included and allowing an income stream
from the stadium that is not so limited to match days. I'm aware there's
already facilities there for non match related activities but these will
(apparently) be substantially enhanced as part of the stadium upgrade.
Again, it comes down to a long term strategy for progress as opposed to
a 'quick fix'. If we invest the money in the short term in the team how
does that help us achieve longer term/sustained success? We may finish a
couple of places higher up the table in the first season but that
doesn't generate any more money to allow you to keep on building from
there (OK a little bit for each placing in the final table, but nothing
substantial). The argument then may be 'wouldn't that money have been
better invested in upgrading the stadium to allow us to build over the
long term'.

need it though? Morgan obvioulsy know best but why wouldn't he wait

Its great for the fans to have a fantastic new stadium to watch football

OK.  And what's the cost in terms of players to move up a few places in your
view?

And then what's the ROI?

How can a more successful team generate more cash?  The ground is full every 
week and most people buy shirts.  The prize money and TV increase is relatively 
small for finishing a few places higher.

The new stadium is actually an opportunity to generate more money, not only 
through increased capacity/ticket sales but through the 'non football' 
facilities that will be included and allowing an income stream from the stadium 
that is not so limited to match days. I'm aware there's already facilities 
there for non match related activities but these will (apparently) be 
substantially enhanced as part of the stadium upgrade. Again, it comes down to 
a long term strategy for progress as opposed to a 'quick fix'. If we invest the 
money in the short term in the team how does that help us achieve longer 
term/sustained success? We may finish a couple of places higher up the table in 
the first season but that doesn't generate any more money to allow you to keep 
on building from there (OK a little bit for each placing in the final table, 
but nothing substantial). The argument then may be 'wouldn't that money have

Capacity is 29,195
Baggies game had 28,510
So it was at 98% capacity.

You reckon that the absences were because no one else wanted to go or
because a few STH and people that cought a ticket couldn't make it.

We are consistenly over 95% capacity.

If you had a restaurant with 100 tables, 50 of which were booked in advance
and 95 of them were full all the time, would you say

a) expand the restaurant
b) not expand until 100% full.

Strange statement Steve.

Fact is that for almost every home game this season you have been able to walk 
up on the day and get a ticket, including the crunch match against the Baggies 
2 weeks ago.  That surely is a reflection of the fact that people aren't 
enjoying watching Wolves play under McCarthy.

If the team were winning more regularly, you would attract higher calibre 
sponsors who would be willing to pay more to be associated with a successful 
club. As demand for tickets increases then you have the supply and demand 
benefit of being able to increase ticket prices.  So quite clearly the more 
successful the team, the more money you generate.

Statement here from Morgan ""But we were the third-highest net spenders in the 
Premier League last summer with £18 million, so it's not as if we're not 
spending on players. And Mick will have money to spend again this summer. It's 
all about balance. "  Does that sound like a team that should only be making 
tiny, tiny steps of progress when we're the 3rd highest net spenders?
With the squad we have we should be in the Premier League 3rd quadrant.  With 
the team that McCarthy plays week in week out we should be in the Championship.

benefit of being able to increase ticket prices.  So quite clearly the more 
successful the team, the more money you generate.

Statement here from Morgan ""But we were the third-highest net spenders in the 
Premier League last summer with £18 million, so it's not as if we're not 
spending on players. And Mick will have money to spend again this summer. It's 
all about balance. "  Does that sound like a team that should only be making 
tiny, tiny steps of progress when we're the 3rd highest net spenders? 

With the squad we have we should be in the Premier League 3rd quadrant.  With 
the team that McCarthy plays week in week out we should be in the Championship.

The new stadium is actually an opportunity to generate more money, not only 
through increased capacity/ticket sales but through the 'non football' 
facilities that will be included and allowing an income stream from the stadium 
that is not so limited to match days. I'm aware there's already facilities 
there for non match related activities but these will (apparently) be 
substantially enhanced as part of the stadium upgrade. Again, it comes down to 
a long term strategy for progress as opposed to a 'quick fix'. If we invest the 
money in the short term in the team how does that help us achieve longer 
term/sustained success? We may finish a couple of places higher up the table in 
the first season but that doesn't generate any more money to allow you to keep 
on building from there (OK a little bit for each placing in the final table, 
but nothing substantial). The argument then may be 'wouldn't that money have 
been better invested in upgrading the stadium to allow us to build over the 
long term'.

2011-05-18 Thread Steven Millward
Players are generally depreciating assets.  They are usually worth less once
they've been used than they are when you buy them.  That means an operating
club loses cash through depreciation.  I've said before that I think Morgan
has wanted to stop players depreciating by buying them young so they are
less liekly to fall in value and are more likely to increase.

We also know that we have the money to spend on players but we don't spend
more on wages than the club can afford.

Our wage structure is defined by the profit of the club.  If we don't make
more money as a  business, we won't spend more on wages.  If we invest in
the ground we get more profit and so can spend more on wages and get better
players.

2011-05-18 Thread Steven Millward
Agree.

I don't understand where everyone gets these lofty expectations from.  We
spent 30 years in the wilderness where the goal each and every crushing
season was simply to get back to the Premier League.  Now we are there, some
people seem to think we should be pushing for Europe.

Marcus, you say that it will be 100 years until we get to near the top of
the table.  What makes you think that it is at all realistic for Wolves to
get near the top of the table?  What makes you even think that a top half
finish is realistic?  I assume you either expect money to be thrown at the
squad from some mysterious benefactor or that we will somehow magically make
more of the meagre squad that we have now.  I believe we are already
punching above our weight based on value of squad and wages.

The news for everyone is that there are 19 other clubs who have the same, or
higher, ambitions.  Which clubs should we 'by right' finish higher than? And
for what reason?  I'd love to know where people think we should be in the
table relative to the teams above us and their teams.  If we expect to
finish 10th then presumably we clearly have a better team than ten other
teams?  Which teams are they?

The only club that has outperformed us is West Brom.  Let's see how they do
next season before we claim the miracle of Hodgson.

Wolves are no longer a big club and don't have any more money to spend than
other clubs.  In fact we have less.  We have a small stadium so potential
revenue growth is linked to telly money and inflation.  The sensible thing
to do is to invest in infrastructure that will generate revenue.

Seems everyone has got used to the golden tit where money was pumped in.
Morgan clearly doesn't want to spunk a load of money on players and that's
sensible.  I certainly wouldn't if it was my money.

It's harsh to say that we haven't made progress.  Take where we were when
Hoddle left five years ago as a starting point.  As a mid-point look at the
side we started the first Premiership season with, with Keogh as our striker
and Halford on the wing.

By the way Marcus, enjoy your last four days of blaming Mick for everything
because it will all stop come Monday morning.

:D

I'd say the small step approach seems a sensible and proven one - look at teams 
like Stoke and Sunderland and compare their recent history with that of clubs 
who have over committed financially such as Portsmouth, Hull and Leeds. Unless 
you've got a Man City type owner where you're not bound by the club's ability 
to generate money its not worth the risk. I don't doubt Morgan's business 
acumen for a moment and I think he's taking the club in the right direction 
with a sensible, sustainable approach. Morgan has pointed out that now is a 
perfect time to be redeveloping the stadium in terms of the financials as the 
building industry (and many others) in the UK is on its arse and so its a

What worries me is that Morgan has stated that Mick has made progress
every year since he took over but when you look at how he's measured
that it is the context of very small fractions or single points, so
based on that run rate Morgan will be 100 years old before he sees us
getting anywhere near the top of the table (assuming everyone else stays
stagnant for that entire period).

Have you done this yet Rog?

The problem is that we could lose by four goals and two of the other teams
draw or win and we still go down.  So there are lots and lots more than six
combinations and that ruins the odds.
