So here is a serious question regarding the Brighton Ladies. Does it make money?
Crowd today of what, 5K to 8K paying an average of £10, if that. Crawley attendance is a lot lot less.
A little TV money, but not the £millions of the EPL.
Wages may be a lot less than Dunk and others, but they still get a wage.
Presuming TB pays for it, are any losses written off any mens profits?
And yes, I have been to the games. Crawley is £5 with free parking so a no brainer. Amex is different.

How much mens football makes money? Diddly squat unless Chelsea decide to chuck £150m your way. Bloom has racked up hundreds of millions in losses on the men.

Great win today for the ladies, good spirit to fight back too.

Losses in the early years. TB’s investment and business model is starting to pay. BUT he’s not just doing it for the money.

Losses? Investment I think. The club is worth a lot more than what he is owed. Our squad is worth double his total investment (I know that's subjective).

But that's now. You wouldn't have said that, under Sami Hyppia for example. Or when we'd chucked 14 million on Locadia. Or after our first two seasons in the Prem. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Women's game is growing, hopefully it will be more sustainable in 10 years time

Hindsight or being a f***ing clever businessman?

It's amazing that this serious question only gets asked of the women's game, when 99% of men's football is operating at a loss.

It is a serious question though. TB could pump half a £billion in to the mens set up next year and sell for £1billion. But the ladies have no assets. No ground, no £million players (not even our England internationals). You invest in something that one day will make a profit.
This is not to say don't invest, just that it seems to be something that is having money and TV coverage thrown at it when the audience isn,t there.
ps noticed 8K & 1K watched on the two YouTube feeds.

Thrown two goals away. I know it happens in all levels of the game but in the women's game it appears to be a constant.
Er our men's team have been involved in a few this season̈

He's already invested in them having one of the best training grounds in the country.

Not sure why so many men have a problem in people investing in football for females to make the game grow. Which ultimately leads to a healthier country as girls get a chance to do sport previously unavailable to them
