I have read that FSG are underwriting the £110m required (interest free) for this expansion, and the additional seating (and everything that goes with it) will generate (approximately) an additional £18-20m per year. The interest free loan will be paid back over 5.5 years.....
In other words, every penny of the additional revenue for this expansion will go back to FSG until the debt is cleared. Therefore, the club will not benefit from this until 2020.
It's only like Arsenal mortgaging their stadium is it not? This way we're paying ourselves back, interest free, instead of paying a bank. What do you think would happen if we were to build a new stadium?
