The stadium or a 20 goal a season striker

[fcukcov]

Or divert some cash to the food/beer kiosks so we actually employ people who can fukkin understand plain english and don't look like they've just walked out of a mental home

yes thats it homer they could spend the 20million on pies just for you for a month.:icon_roll

This seems to be a very serious topic.

Is this hypopathetical or have we really got £20,000,000 investment coming into the club. If not, I suggest that Mr Taylor stops excting us all with his "toy soldier" games and gets out there and finds it

It's hypothetical in that we have to get the promotion first. If you go back to the original article it is plucked from a longish answer to a question on the board's prioroty with regards to the buying back of the stadium, in the course of which he said

"Let's say we gained promotion into the Premier League after next season and received the Premier League dividend of £20-odd million, what would be the best deployment of that capital, buying the stadium, investing in the squad to keep us in the top tier or improving the academy (or something else)....? I wonder how many fans would think it a good idea to invest the Premier League "windfall" in buying back the stadium rather than buy a 20 goal-a-season striker who could keep us in the top flight.
As Chairman I need the Board to work through the decisions it takes. These are big decisions and we have to think through unintended consequences."

As such he was clearly using it as an illustration of the hard choices that have to be made, not an immediate decision, and it was a valid response to people who see these issues in simple black and white.

hence my earlier comment that the "cut down" question as posed in this thread as a simple choice to be made was not realistic to vote on.

would have to buy the stadium as a way of clearing the debt for future if we were to be relegated or even stay up its a reasonable footing for future finances to be ours and not there just to be taken away at a future date

We have already got a 20 goal striker. And would be at Premier level in 3 years.

Elvis won't be in the prem in 3 years and. The trouble is his 20 goals will be scored throughout the duration of his career :icon_bigg

Daft buggers. We probably wont be able to keep Matty for that long.

I could not care less if we owned the stadium or not, but going to watch LCFC with a top quality striker would the better option for me.

I go to watch the team, not gaze at the stadium

 

[pds]

Stadium, definately.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

the stadium.. a 20 a season striker doesnt guarantee you'll stay up, plus theres the fact he may well not get 20.. also we would probably still have trouble attracting that calibre of player anyway.

 

[Melton Fox]

No way. Forget the striker, £20,000,000 would be used to strengthen the whole squad. Giving us a much better chance of staying up when we get there.

If it goes in the stadium, we won't have a realistic chance of staying in the premiership.

I would rather watch Leicester City playing premier league football in a rented stadium, than watching fizzy football in a stdium that we own.

What about watching Leicester play in the Premiership in a stadium shared with the egg chasers?
