I think if the precedent is set it’s harder to roll back on. Finch farm funding was a precedent and set the funding model for the increase, if they allowed it then, it’s harder now to take issue with the 6 mill increase.
It will be the same with 30 mill, If it’s accepted, the precedent has been set like the training ground, while the window dressing points we have shared look strong mitigation.
I agree as with FF, it’s the first foot in the door with the powers that be, that then can be expanded on, while the boundaries in terms of market value have now been set.
Tonight is encouraging. We look a bit safer then I thought, but it’s left field stuff tonight, no one could have predicted.
It’s a win for Moshiri and Sasha, I wouldn’t ignore Sasha contribution to small fry sponsorship, it’s largely wiped out a non European revenue deficit that hugely impressive.
With the good vibes though, it’s also important to be fair. Moshiri/Usmanov have shown an amazing finial commitment to writing of our losses.
I will say, though his intentions are incredible, his/their decision making has been rank. He/we should never have been in a position that he/theyhad to fund 350 mill of losses and be looking over our shoulders at the championship year three into the project. Some of the decision making on DOFs, corportae governance and managers has been terrible. It’s fool and money stuff.
So while I’d commend him/them on getting us out of a hole, it’s important to recognize that bad decision making dug the hole in the first place. It might all work out in the end but getting there hasn’t and may not still be a path without adversity and clangers.
