But with a wage bill of £83m and carrying over a debt of £150m that £100m won't even touch the sides.
Careful what you wish for, people.
At least we have a chance to pay TB back in the PL! Only a growing debt in the championship, so spend to stay in the PL would be a sound investment for the future!
Does anyone know how much profit we make from a sell out at home?
Judging my the figures being talked about here, 'paying back' Tony seems as far away as breaking even in the Championship.
I'll hazard a guess for the foreseeable future TB is settling for nothing other than 'not spending more of my own money'.

I would imagine TB wouldn't want us to start repayments till we are settle in PL, purely because he would have the most solid chance of a return, and because it gives the club the chance the thrive! All of this is pure speculation as its not me who has shelled out £250m or whatever the figure is!
As an aside, I'm curious as to how much difference 1st and 2nd place prize money for Championship this year?

Round it up to 250 million what the hell, we are in the premiere league who's counting the odd millions
Matchday income in 2015/16 was £12.035 million, with average attendance of 25,583. Total attendance of 588,415 plus 27,272 for the playoff, gives a total of 615,687. This works out as £19.54 per fan per match.
Given that matchday prices won't be much higher in 2017/18, and working on an average attendance of (say) 29,500, and assuming the income per fan rises by (a generous) 10%, gives £576,000 per match. With 18 league games in the PL this works out as about £10.4 million for the season.
The above doesn't include advertising and commercial income though.

I'm not so sure, the median net profit in the PL last season was only £3.5 million.
So commercial ventures are where a club really makes a profit?
It's spending money well rather than spending money per se that's the issue for me. If Dale Stephens stays, for example, then it's £12-15m saved from the transfer budget.
To give you an idea of wages and transfers, last year the Albion's wage bill was £27m and £9m was spent on new players, whereas in the PL average wage bill was £109m and player signings £72m

You're welcome. My day job, which is in the main about as good as it can get, has just darkened.
I am in the middle of marking 50 asssignments on the finances and value of a chosen football club, and the one I have just opened has THIS on the cover...and no mention of a small club. View attachment 84958
Failed assignement.....
