Swiss Ramble thread on our financial results:
This season we have earned 55m from Europe in prize money alone.plus 4 home games of which three were almost sell outs at Wembley. We really have to sign one or two absolute top players in the summer.And this is why we prioritise Europe over domestic cups
I'd recommend those interested in finance to have a look at Wembley's financial results to get a feel for what our new stadium could, potentially, earn as a standalone venue.
They turned over £370 last year with the biggest financial contributor being concerts, around 35, which look like being worth around £8 million each.
If we got half that amount of gigs in, say 17, at a smaller £6 million that's still around £100 million.
The potential to keep growing the club is huge.
That link I just posted works ok.
Swiss Ramble is a Gooner remember so that’s worth remembering. Must be posting these tweets through gritted teeth. Whichever way you look at it though we are doing very well financially.
We are only allowed 16 non football events over a year. Not sure if that includes NFL or not. But let’s say it’s 16. I can’t see them all being concerts. Let’s say half. And if you work on 2/3 of £8m per concert, let’s be conservative say £5m. That’s £40m, if the Wembley figure you quoted is correct that’s a huge revenue stream.
Is there a rule to how much we can increase the 127m wage bill over one year?
