Our weasly, but financially very astute, chairman said lack of ticket revenue during lockdown added to our already enormous debt.
We were also hit by being unable to use our shiny new stadium for other sports and events.
It's also true to say broadcast/media rights are a far bigger proportion of clubs' income.
Increasingly, that comes from many more sources than just Sky.
I'm told we are quite a big noise in South Korea, purely because Son is a Tottenham player.
Win-win for us, a decent striker who is also good for the income stream.

I did include Sky subscription etc which is 'broadcasting' revenue. Sponsorship would be dead pretty quickly if they cannot get their products on TV.
P.S The premier league Broadcasting rights cost £5.1bn. Broadcasting rights cost £5.1bn

The point I attempt to make in my original post is that why most (incl me) disapprove of footballers wages and Dido Harding's etc etc. Given the opportunity we would all, (almost without exception) accept similar remuneration for our services, assuming we were top footballers, if we had the chance. I guess that makes us all hypocrites ?

Quite a few of the food shops around the Emirates rely on the local University (London Met) and the football for their custom.
Hopefully, furlough schemes and the rates amnesty will have soften the blow a bit?

FPL - anyone took the plunge and put Lukaku into their team?
Not yet……..

Maybe make a judgement call after the 28th?
As ever we are looking forward to this annual fixture - generally a bloody good match whichever way it goes.
Probably a bit too early for RL to be properly integrated - it's been some time since we've had a proper 9 as a target man.
May the best team win!
Chelsea have a strong squad this season….lukaku defo adds to that for sure. Should be a good season tbh

Would be good to knock City off of their perch!
Beat them 3 times last season but I expect Pep' to be more on the ball this season.
Agree…..but if they do get kane, then that will be tough

Early days yet but it looks like Norwich are in for a long season.
The National League got underway yesterday with Notts County winning 5-0 away; their fans vastly outnumbered the Barnet fans. Last time they won 5-0 on the opening day was the crazy season they, and Sven, thought they had massive financial backing which turned out to be con job.
It was great being back in a crowd yesterday but I couldn't help but feel this could all go wrong very quickly. We've gone from masks, social distancing, isolation and being (mostly) well behaved to jumping straight back in to 50+ thousand crowds and people hugging folk they haven't seen for 18 months. Still, we appreciate what we can have.

You can see what they are up against ? Man city's owners are reported to be worth close to £20 billion (richest football club owner in the world) Norwich's owners, (Delia Smith & husband) are reported to be worth around £20 million. ( poorest ! owners in the Premier league) Personally, I wish Norwich all the luck in the world, but like you, I fear the worst.
