Supporting two loss making operations can't be sustainable can it?

£1.5 Billion, I doubt it would even touch his interest, he'll probably be getting £74 million (pre tax) a year in interest according to https://www.projectfinanciallyfree.com/ ... on-pounds/
:D I doubt he has that money invested in the bank :lol: :lol:

But your point is a valid one.
Even a third of that would would probably be enough to run both clubs :D

People with money don't stay rich by throwing it about willy nilly.

I really hope your correct and I'm wrong but everyone is celebrating before any impact on the club is actually know.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Does anybody have any information on when the stadium sponsorship by DW expires, as it would be nice to have a refresh should the stadium finally become a dual home rather than what it has become over the years

was there ever a formal sponsorship or just vanity from DW himself?

pretty sure he wouldnt have paid for the privilege of sponsoring the stadium and he has nothing to do with it now, so up to the new owners how they are going to generate additional revenue for hopefully both clubs

I’ve asked & I still can’t use confetti 🎉 as the stadium company complained about it 🤨
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
