Good analogy.Breadman wrote:But that's my whole point - I simply can't envisage any scenario where a "sustainable model" can be applied to what we've got.
It's all far too bulky and has far too much inherent "leakage" built in to the infrastructure.
If we could potentially get the missing 15,000 fans back next week and they all started pumping their money in in vast quantities via the concessions, like back in the heady days of the Prem under Allardyce, then it might just work.
But we both know that ain't going to happen.
Whoever takes ownership is buying a Scania juggernaut complete with three or four forty foot trailers to transport one cow to market.
But the Scania's got dodgy brakes and it leaks oil everywhere so nobody's interested in taking it in part-ex for a far more sensible Tranny van.
So I can't understand why anybody would buy it unless they had one eye on its scrap value and weren't really interested in the cow.
Sort of........
I think ED won't sell the Scania unless the buyer loves the cow.
But there are still plenty of scenarios based around the owner spending money on the Scania to hire it out or spending money on cattle or cattle-breeding to work the asset. Or just leaving the Scania in the condition it's in to give the cow a chance to breed.
Hang on - this analogy is limited in scope....
