No one knows how this is going to pan out, but for me, the questions being asked are important and can't be brushed to one side with what appears to be the ultra simplicity of GIADJ - amounting to 'just increase revenue' and 'think big'. He's been there I suppose with his growing businesses and vas...

Sounds like you're putting yourself forward for the Global Advisor role. I remember another East Lancs club with big ideas who had one of those.

In a post Covid landscape that’s a very punchy aim, people are cutting back on spending not increasing spending, when all said & done though money will be tight everywhere it won’t just be BFC affected.

Hi DJ, I just want to say thank you for a decent long debate yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

And the ill merited arrogance of fans like yourself who willingly accept this ridiculous business model without question is staggering. What price would you put on integrity and solid values ? I can see what they want to do, I have ideas about how it's feasible. If we sold an extra 10k shirts at £4...

Will ‘increasing revenue’ include a significant increase in season ticket prices? Don't know as yet. If they can increase the commercial aspect with out increase ticket prices then great, but we have to wait and see. The fact that we can't sellout TM with prices this low, it doesn't make sense to i...

To be honest, if an interview like that one about lookalikes attracted new fans, I would be happy they were far, far away , and nowhere near the Turf. All this image making, branding, or being alluring to certain markets abroad (usually gambling) is a billion light years from what Burnley football ...

I think saying it stinks is a bit dramatic if i'm honest. We need to wait and see. Kicking off about things after a month and off the back of media speculation is just OTT.

Standard operating procedure on here though

GodIsADeeJay81

Can’t escape the fact that paying a high rate of interest on a multi- million pound loan is taking money out of our transfer budget and out of our club. £8 million (educated guess) out of our transfer budget every year is a significant amount and it now seems we will have LESS to invest in improvin...

Someone's made an error somewhere and left Ajax's new signing out of their Europa League squad

They're trying to work out who's done it, but if it's at their end they can't do anything about it, they're probably hoping the mistake was done by Uefa.

These are literally my thoughts. All these financial experts clearly know what they are talking about. It's okay looking towards the future and a 5 year plan but if results on the pitch are bad then we will take a financial battering. The squad needs massive surgery in the summer as mentioned and i...

Tbf Leeds were in the champions league which is fantastic marketing in itself. I admire you're optimism I genuinely do, I just can't see where millions and millions of pounds of extra revenue are coming from as DCwat has said They then spent virtually a generation outside of the top flight after th...

I think a lot of the items you’ve mentioned, whilst they would all be great, would predominantly benefit the everyday or visiting fan. That’s certainly no bad thing, but I don’t see it pulling in the sort of sums we are talking about needing to achieve. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t do them a...

GodIsADeeJay81

Well United are a massive club in history so they've never been in a position like ours. Regarding Leeds, it's quite clear when you've got a city of around a million people and a ground that holds under 40k then it is not as difficult to market and attract new fans. Easy maths. For a club like ours...

GodIsADeeJay81

And it all happens without us spending a penny or costing us anything at all. Simples. Nope, it requires money, time and the sheer will/enthusiasm to grow the revenue streams. You could throw money at a marketing team, but if they aren't willing to put the long days into it then it's a waste of tim...

You just going to ignore the size of their cities then?

They don't target Manchester with their marketing campaigns, they don't need to worry about that.

They look at the world around them... Think big remember.

GodIsADeeJay81

You make many good points there it has to be said 👏 I do think though more or less everything you have said is dependent on us staying in the Premier league. Merchandise and ticket sales for example are only going to reach their potential by playing in the Premier league. A wider audience isn't goi...

GodIsADeeJay81

The items you have mentioned there are going to improve the turnover of the club by a couple hundred thousand. Unless we can get significantly larger sponsorship deals, however I believe for a club our size we have one of the largest. The items you mentioned could increase revenue but with the lowe...

GodIsADeeJay81

Leeds and Manchester United is a ridiculous comparison given the size of the 2 respective cities and fan bases it must be said. If we get relegated our attendances will drop several thousand. That would be catastrophic for any vision that ALK has. We are going to lose several players in the summer ...

GodIsADeeJay81

He's offering a very speculative viewpoint of ifs buts and maybe but refusing to deal in the here and now. What happens on the pitch ultimately effects all of these "visions". If we don't improve the team in the summer, we are likely to get relegated. For us to be marketed properly we need to be pl...

I must have missed your comments on it. I’ve seen you mention growing revenue streams, increasing our appeal to a wider audience and the income that might bring. I’ve seen you mention us getting into Europe and now pointing us in the direction of Man United, Leeds and Sheffield United. They’re all ...

To have had another trip into Europe.
To have finished 10th or higher more of than not.

Most neutrals in this country hate watching us play, its pretty far fetched to think we're going to start attracting legions of fans from across the world. Growing the commercial side of things is probably doable but it all depends on Dyche keeping us relatively competitive on the pitch. Making us ...

Thinking big, tell me what is that exactly? All your buzz words mean nothing, its results on the pitch what matters to the fans.

Now there’s an interesting question. I’ve seen a lot of criticising everyone else and accusing people of being dense, but nothing of substance. I've made numerous comments on this, as have others like Darthlaw. If people aren't going to bother reading or learning how businesses grow revenue streams...

GodIsADeeJay81

And you're being extremely naive thinking all of these are both realistic and achievable. For everything you have mentioned, staying in the Premier league (yes that's short term) is the most important of all. Success in terms of trophies or playing good football attracts fans nothing else. And ill ...

GodIsADeeJay81

Not at all. What exactly do you think we can achieve what we haven't already in the Premier league? We can't improve on the 7th place finish no matter how optimistic you are so not sure what you think the next level is. Are you purposely being dense? Increase revenue - larger sponsorship deals, wit...

GodIsADeeJay81

Its called being realistic. In that season we had two players for every position, with some real quality in the team. You are obviously the type of person that is blindly optimistic regardless of the situation. I have seen a few of your posts over the last few days and you don’t even seem to be cau...

GodIsADeeJay81

Imo as long as Dyche is in charge I can never see us growing with youth. He's not going to change his managerial style completely which has brought him/us so much success. I don't want Dyche to leave and if he did then surely that would be a big negative. That's my point regarding the vision of bri...

But they have a bench full of players good enough to start. We definitely don't. Look at the bench tonight.

Liverpool and other clubs seem to have good harmony amongst their squad despite larger numbers so I'm not having that. As regards my thinking, of course its short term as we're in the Premier league.

When did we last improve the starting 11? Genuine question. The players we have previously signed won't get us new fans with the style of play.

So what if we have a quiet transfer window now and again, if we get our dealings correct then we aren't obliged to sign for the sake of it.
Our dealings thus far have been pretty spot on in the main.

Unless our style of play changes dramatically i think its very optimistic to think we're going to start attracting legions of new fans, even with the best marketing in the world. Stay in the PL.
