Now Bale wants to buy Cardiff as well as Plymouth

[monmouth]

Whoever takes over will be hamstrung by relegation to L1.

Cardiff's revenues weren't amazing anyway, but TV money drops off significantly when you hit the third tier, plus you lose a % of bums on seats.

Also, starting this season, the FFP rules that allowed Birmingham and Wrexham to go wild with owner/investor equity have been tightened significantly: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c36e4068113o

So, unless they find a way to quickly and significantly raise revenue, and/or fancy flouting FFP, there is no quick fix for them.

For a club that usually loves a quick fix, that's going to be a huge problem.

According to that article they (clubs in general, not Scumbo specifically) can still spend 60% so if they want to really go to town, they still can

Dreams do sometimes come true but really.

Even though a deal isn't done yet they are already believing their stadium is going to be expanded to 40 then 50,000. It's the "we are as big as Barcelona syndrome" all over again.

" once we become established in the EPL, we could get crowds of 40,000 - 50,000 and possibly more long term."

"the club can sustain st leastv40k if successful in premier league so go we wait to see if can get there or do we expand a bit more to 40k" ...now

Wake up bluebirds. Your in league 1 ffs.

They seem to think they will have at least the same attendances as Chelsea, Aston Villa and Everton.

And, 10,000 more fans per game than another 10 current premiere league teams.
