i am a season ticket holder at the reebok and the prem is not the answer to clearin your debts .ye you may get 30 40 50 million a year but you gotta spend that on bigger wages and new players every season to sustain your place in the prem and if you dont splash out and take the gamble you end up being a yo yo club our debts have gradually grown each season because being one of smaller clubs tryin to play with big boys we have very little money coming in other than money from tv and what people seem to think is that if your 30 million in debt then getting to prem clears that,well that s not true because your expenditure goes up big time every season on increased wages and over inflated transfer fee s.enjoy the premier league next season when you win promotion but dont think its the end of your financial problems cos its not the fans will demand big name signings which then demand 30-50 wages for an ave player in prem and if you dont show ambition the fans will wanna know why you blew your chance when you had it ie burnley and hull last year who are now strugglin in your div

The simple answer is no as history has shown that generally clubs have used the additional tv revenue to pay inflated wages and transfer fees to average players.

There are now regulations in place which are intended to ensure clubs in the future do not spend more than they receive in revenue.

Its heavy reading but I think this will serve to drive player salaries down because if PL clubs have not demonstrated by 2012 they are breaking even it may result in them being banned for european competitions.

In a week where Spurs announce a £6m loss on revenue of £113m it sort of puts into perspective how much commitment it has taken from their board to keep pace with the megarich owners of Man City and Chelsea.

Liverpool and Man Utd have been left with huge debts by stupid owners borrowing mega amounts of money to "Buy" the clubs.

The only chance we have of clearing our debts is if we are promoted keep our current squad and wage structure and take our chances. But would our fans accept that or would they expect big money signings either throught transfer fees, bosman or loans.

The madness would soon takeover IMO and we would risk increasing our already massive debts if we are ever promoted.

Your posts have been excellent and Really interesting

I think to be honest its us the fans that help put our clubs into Red. We as fans demand success and of course the clubs know they have to have in big players to get that. So the clubs go out and spent Millions on players,that's got no real interest in the club, but know they will get there money anyway win or not.
We our self's have found that more people are coming to games now, Why ? Cos of Bellamy ? Or cos we are now near the top and going for the prem. I would say its both! All the Uk knows of Bellamy and how good he is, and the kind of player he is.
Now he is at Cardiff City and the crowds come, and we all now think that's it, were all 100% sure the prem is ours.
By bring in Bellamy the club has raised the fans expectations and any less will not do. So when or if he goes back to Mancity
Do we as fans demand another big name ? And if so where is the money going to come from.? Event top Clubs like ManUtd are in the Red. I think players Big money demands will kill the game,and in the end there be more players our off work as all the clubs go bust.
There is only so much money that people can put aside for there Saturday afternoon,working or not. So as we the fans demand more and more top player and want more and more success and Fast!. The club have to put up the price of Tickets more and more. Where will it all stop? Players should have there money capped, to safe guard the game itself. Is any kind of player worth 95k a week ? And then theres sponsorships on top ,which runs into Millions. Come on lets get real!
