Anyhow, wish him well
i prefer to think that some 2 bit country cola brand footed the bill
Awww bless, he thinks the ST money makes up a significant portion of the turnover.
I'm firmly of the belief the fans are a clubs lifeblood. It's irrelevant where the turnover originates from but it is very relevant to a huge number of ordinary people who go to the games that they get value for money. If the cost of season tickets was reduced by a given amount, say £100 or £150, then that makes a big difference to a lot of people's lives. 40000 tickets is only £4,000,000. Fuck all in the scheme of things. Sinclair was a huge waste of money. It could just as easily be Jo or Santa Cruz or Sagna or anyone who takes huge wages yet doesn't for whatever reason, contribute hugely to the club. He wasn't the first and he won't be the last dud we sign. My comment was that had he not signed and if the club wished to, they could have reduced ticket prices. It's a moot point as I know it's not going to happen that way, but it was just an illustration to show how costly he has been to the average fan
