FSG are not shit

[jimmycase]

Projection is real jimmy, you moist quim. 

 

Oh, I think Ive just been savaged by a dead flea.

[Lycan]

Spend some money, you utter fucking mingebags!

I might be wrong here, but I'm sure when there was a walkout to do with ticket prices and FSG reversed their decision to increase prices they issued a statement including something along the lines of "the fans should be careful what they wish for". Am I imagining this?

[Harry Squatter]

I think it was Ian Ayre who said that in an interview when he was leaving. The Echo did a cringeworthy series of interviews with him reflecting on his "successful" time as CEO.

Yes, remember it now. Interesting thing is that people are generally their most honest when they have less to lose. He would never have said that if he was staying on.

[Duff Man]

They're better than Mike Ashley. Stop being so ungrateful.

Yes. The club said nothing of the sort.

[Red House]

Ian Ayre definitely said something along these lines when defending the ticket price raise.

[eeyore]

Yes. The club said nothing of the sort.

Ian ayre was in charge when he said it. So the club did say something of the sort as he was the official mouth piece of FSG.

Fair enough, I stand corrected.

[Pureblood]

I'm utterly sick of them.  Everything they do is cynical and calculated from ticket prices to bigging up our £200m war-chest, which seems to strongly resemble a pie in the sky.  Fuck off already.  

[Russ Atmosphere]

[El Rojo]

Shit sorry, I meant this one

 

They'll both be gutted looking back at that.

[Einch]

Look shit to me.

[Arl arse]

Fair enough, I stand corrected.

Said the man in the orthopedic shoes.

That's the story, ever since that fan backlash I have felt as though there has been a tendency to focus on generating revenue from other areas than the ticket prices.Perhaps it's a cynical interpretation of events but it seems as though there have been opportunities to improve the playing squad that have not been taken.

 

Maybe this is what he was referring to, maybe it wasn't.

 

Thanks for finding it, anyway!

[Elite]

They need to fuck off.

Same just on a bigger scale

Have you ever seen Ashley's scale - it is a 300kg model fella - plenty big.

To be fair that was only last year, we've been holding back on a few windows before then.

The relationship with FSG was never love - it couldn't be, but it should have been mutually beneficial. I think we had that for a while but now I'm not so sure. I do think something broke with the ticket thing and since then they've not even pretended to show their affection. It's business, no more no less.

 

They felt a bit of steel or resolve from the fans but I half wonder if it's not being reciprocated. They are not being overt about it, as that would be bad for business, but you get the sense that they aren't exactly extending themselves in seeking sporting success.

 

If they have been holding themselves back and waiting for the right moment i.e. CL qualification, then I could get on board with that. Now that we are there, qualifier notwithstanding, it's time to speculate to accumulate. But is that what they want to do?

 

I have a nagging feeling that they are content to just keep an appreciating asset ticking over. We will know more soon enough.
