[Albion] Not sure why everyone’s so upset about results on the pitch

[Guinness Boy]

We’ve just made £120 million profit, are widely regarded by football writers as “well run” and have a long term plan to be successful.

Surely that’s enough for working class fans paying hundreds of pounds a month to follow us all over the country?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Rejoice! Rejoice!

 

[Stat Brother]

We used to play at an athletics track, don't you know.

 

[Billy the Fish]

It's out of order that the PL and FL don't do trophies for this. We'd be a shoo in for the well run cup.

Tidy accounting figures YAY!

Altogether now...

"We're by far the best run club the world has ever seen"

Think more fans would be happy with £100 million loss.......Just beaten City and Arsenal and are comfortable for another European adventure next season

I’m guessing that everyone being sarky about the £100m+ profit wasn’t around in the 90s, and has no recollection of us scraping along on zero money at Withdean.
I want this club to exist (and be thriving) in 10 years’ time (and beyond, obvs). I don’t want the strategy that has been so successful for the past decade to suddenly be ditched. De Zerbi is still learning - and he may have to carry on that learning elsewhere - but let’s not criticise the club for being prudent. Especially given our past

Quite, long time fans knew this fantastic sojourn to the upper reaches of the PL was likely to be short lived and yes we might be back in the Championship in a season or two. We’ll get over it, the recent fans may find another team.

 

[swindonseagull]

Great....are we gonna have an open top bus parade for largest profit?

Legacy fans like me aren’t just disillusioned with our current form, but the PL and so called Elite football in general. We’ve hit what’s the point yet we’re all addicts.

You don't make profits that big by forking out for extravagances like open top bus parades.

 

[macbeth]

we all laugh but this has been the serious, uncompromising narrative from several posters on here for several months. delusional doesn’t begin to cut it.

This you?

f*** off RDZ, you don’t go toe to toe with the top teams when you are a SMALL club with a ridiculous injury list. Naive in the extreme and setting yourself up for a stuffing. He needs to move on to a club who can play his way with the players to do it.

Just let that settle in for a second. You'd rather we had one season in Europe next season (which could end in the group stage) and make a £100m loss, than be in the position we are?

Are you a Pompey fan?

 

[BBassic]

It'd cost too much. Gotta protect that bottom line.

(N.B. am joking, am aware of history, am proud of the club doing well financially, don't want club to skirt with existence ever again, also am pretty peeved at our relentlessly shambolic form - think that covers everything)

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Has anyone said 'Hereford' yet?

 

[Flounce]

This you?

Yes, post match knee jerk

Never had one?

My point stands though if RDZ won’t change. Does that make me less of a fan? I am an Albion fan but currently not much of an RDZ one

And we are getting a fan zone to get more people to get there early and stay late and put more money in the club.

[Weststander]

Rejoice! Rejoice!

How ungrateful.

The transport scheme is included in the ST cost, padded and wide seats to admire the non-scoring losses, the CEO answers all emails, Fans Advisory Board, award winning stadium, away fans get their choice of ales and their concourse is lit in their club colour, Hey Jude, Sweet Caroline and Put Your 'Ands For Bwighton.

 

[KZNSeagull]

It is rather sad that a club's ambition is measured in terms of how much money they lose.
