would Ledley be big enough to ?

self finance the deal
5000 season tickets sales = 1.5 to 1.8 million £££
10000 season ticket sales =3 to 3.6 million £££
plus shirt sales
if he cost around 2 to 2.5 million £ could it be good business
also kenwynne jones wages should cover what ledley would want
personally I would like ledley to give us fans something back for the way he left us ,by coming back on a wage not too high ,and still playing to a good standard
I would also look at selling whitts as ledley would be number one if he came ,not sure how much we could get for whitts though ,but his 20 k + wages would be a good saving
I would love to see ledley ralls and o keefe with kennedy in the 4 middle /wide positions
doyle and mason up front would compliment the 4 .and with that 6 we have pace energy and lots of movement, no hoof ball required with that 6 in the team
for me if manga stays and is partnered with any one from turner Connelly or Morrison we have comfortability in the back /middle of defence .
we then need a new right back to compete with peltier ,leaving john to put pressure on mallonne
one more striker to keep doyle and mason upto it ,with ravelle and macheda or jones (who ever stays ) as plan b
that would leave us also needing midfield competition (again depending who stays from gunnerson whitts dikgikio adeymi
but come on we still got the squad to do some damage next season
so to recap what we need is a marquee signing to get 5 to 10 season tickets sold without breaking the bank
ledley hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????????????

No.
Not only are your figures wrong (you haven't taxed them or included manufacturers %), any money made pre season, be that merchandise or ticket sales is needed to fund the clubs running costs in pre and post season as the players must still be paid, yet the club has no matchday income as there are no games. We are still heavily in debt too, so if there is a spare 5 million quid then it should go to the dark lord really.

Think you've missed the point totally here mate
I have shown no figures for shirt sales in this thread
The question was could the signing of Ledley bring in enough EXTRA season tickets to make it an affordable deal
Are you saying my figures for season ticket sales are wrong as I've based them on an average of £ 300 to £325 ??

I was thinking this last night, am not sure you can get in to the maths of it all but I think it would definitely pay for itself and also show some intent.

No he is not big enough......Left us to make his fortune - No problem with that, they are professional athletes. It would cost more than his worth to sign him. Taking a punt on youngsters is the way to go for me.
We need to accept that the club need to slowly reconnect with the fan base. Gimmicks like the prodigal son returning won't attract a single extra fan.

Not forgetting of course that they'll have to sell an extra one to make up for mine. I shall not be renewing if he's allowed back The words "ship", "sinking" and "rat" spring to mind whenever his name is mentioned. Especially the last one.

Imagine thinking it was his fault when he was screwed around. Funny how we couldn't afford to give bigger contracts to Ledley and Bothroyd ey but can give 35k a week to Helguson and Smith?
