As far as I am aware arsenal paid for their stadium in 15 years by naming rights fans bonds loans and loan term 30 debentures. If it's not totally paid back it almost is so much for never being able to pay back. They are already talking about expansion. Vish again completely misses the point just focusing on marginal ticket prices to pay for the ground the point being missed is John Henry cannot take. Long term view as he does not have the money nor us he willing to put his own money up. If a rich investor is prepared to invest over one billion on city then why would they not be willing to fund say £300m for a long term partnership equity deal same with big corporations interest would not enter into it. I also fail to understand why Liverpool have been unable to secure naming rights given FSG are supposed to be so clever on sponsorship.

So here is what is bothering me.

Stanley, do you honestly believe you have discovered sliced bread? Do you honestly believe the owners have not thought about this? What about the previous owners? What about those before them? Do you honestly believe you are such a good business mind that you have out-thought FSG's consultants, H&G's consultants etc.

If there was a feasible way for us to get a new stadium right now, which was cost effective, we'd be doing it.

the only talk of increasing capacity at the Emirates is by removing existing seats that are 20" wide and replacing them with narrower seats.

What I take from this is that he wants or assumes that there are people around who will provide LFC with enough investment to cover whatever the cost of a new stadium will be. The same people would continue to write off the need for ROI and blindingly invest in the said "new" stadium. That said his argument continues that income generated from the additional seats will not be taken into account by these wealthy investers as they will not want anything in return.

Furthermore with the prove or assumed possibility of future income from TV surpassing anything that might be taken at the gates he still doesn't care it seems. Because he wants a new stadium. He sidesteps the questions asking whether he would be willing to invest if a possible fan group would be able to invest. Why? Because he wants a new stadium.

It looks like his mind is made up whichever way this goes because our dear fellow poster wants a new stadium, regardless of the cost, whether it is feasable, sustainable or whether it makes actual business sense. Please have one of these wealthy investors contact me and give me 100Million pounds please smile (childish I know lol)

Cost effective according to John Henry's financial objectives is not the same as cost effective the consultants will be working to the guidelines Henry gave them.

If arsenal city United can afford a new stadium then I refuse to believe we can't we are as big if not bigger than them. I realise city's circumstances are different but United are almost identical to ourselves a big northern powerhouse club. We are talking £400m which in today's crazy money is three transfer windows
