No he/we wouldn't. If you think throwing away possibly up to 3 or £4m on one game just to send you down is worth it, then think again.

Come on now 64, I can see huwies brain ticking over, 4 million or send cardiff down, no competition. Thankfully it won't come to that I think, can't see Sunderland getting many more points.

£4m is a lot of money to a club like us goats even in the prem. But ye I think Sunderland could well be down by then, if they couldn't muster a result tonight then theres little hope really. Banter and shit aside, you do have a chance to catch either Palace/Norwich or West Brom. But Saturday really is must win, and I mean MUST!

Being the only team within 100 miles that has Premier League football amd with an expansion to fill on the horizon.... It makes business sense.

That's fine, but the extension on the CCS is already taking shape while there isn't even a bag of cement outside The Liberty Stadium. We will have a much needed increased capacity in August.
Financially, we are sound now with the promise of debt-free status on our horizon.

I dont quite know where to start with that.![]()
1. If you go down (which looks likely) the extension will be a big echoing white elephant.
2. You are about as far from financially sound as you could wish to be

I don't think it will come on the agenda other than fans and media harping on about it. I will be fairly certain your players will be more interested trying to finish the season in good form trying to catch a plane to Brazil if they are close for their prospective countries.
As for the white elephant of the extension as you call it time will tell but once it's built it's there for us to fill if the demand is there to generate extra revenue. Even if the seats are not filled on match day the conference and dining facilities are going to be used and could make even more money than match day sales

I think he is fully aware of the importance in being the only Premier League club in Wales financially. At least id hope he does.
I could definitely see us throwing it, but It isnt about players going out to lose as such but if we have nothing to play for then we can do what we did against Everton and play the likes of Tremmel, Vasquez, Amat, Lamah, Lita.... You get the picture.
Your stadium expansion is a good move if you can fill it, of course it is. However it should have been done when you were stable in the league, now it looks like you are going down god knows when you may be back. I doubt dining facilities or conference rooms will be making any sort of a real impact on covering the cost of the build to be perfectly honest, doubt ot would make a scratch.

Still cannot imagine huw saying saying to monk "tell the players to lose so we can send cardiff down".im no expert by all means on corporate events as such but I do know that having been to the liberty on a number of work events the number of people using that stadium on non match days is significant. The whole building of new stands and stadia in line with the Taylor report gave most teams the chance to increase non match day revenue with the extra space under the stands. I wouldn't dismiss it by all means but will agree that the primary reason is to fill the seats on match days.

As i said, it isnt telling the players to lose - it is resting our first team.
Id like to see some figures for revenue from these extra facilities, it would be my guess that from that alone - you could go 50 years and you still wouldn't have made the cost of the build.
