UEFA Cup and Pedro's budget

[kris1984 1,272]

So been trying to work out how a run in the UEFA cup could affect Pedro's budget.

This is assuming we make the groups which is a HUGE assumption.

3 qualifiers with £200k prize money for each. So £600k

thats 3 games I think we'll sell out given it's a return after so long. 50k at £25 a ticket x 3 games = £3.75

So we've made £4.35m if we get this far

if we go in the groups there is £2.6m straight payment and £200k per win. Another £500k if we get out the groups. I'm going to assume we don't win a game 

so another £3.75m for selling out and the £2.6m added to the £4.35m we already made

That's £10.7m in the bank. Potentially more if we don't scrape a few wins. 

With that in mind and real possibility I thinks it's worth gambling £6-8m to give Pedro actual money to spend. Plus whatever he sells and King coughs up

wishful thinking?

Still tho say we do get to the groups and get the near £11m and King/extra fro. season tickets come up with say £5m. £15-16m extra we never had this year. We COULD spend some of fees. I guess what im getting at it, there MIGHT actually be readies to spend.

[simplythebest 11,453]

Very generous there's still outgoings to open the stadium etc so no real money to be made before the group stages 

I doubt we'll sell out all the early games either the opposition won't be glamorous and it's in the middle of the summer holidays, know us being back in Europe after all this time should be some attraction but still can't see it

I'm no trying to make you look daft here but we've paid fees in the last four transfer windows.

not huge but we have spent fees

[DavieMacRFC 850]

Your missing juveniles and concession prices so ain't gonna be 50,000 at £25 a game mate.

Fair enough, even half what I've came up with. That's a lot we've not had access to this year.

We used to spend millions on players way above two million quid.

Fair enough, was just randomly thinking we might not be totally skint this window

[Debian 42]

No any outgoings then?

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

You are only accounting for income.

There are substantial costs associated with each game we host, this would reduce the profit from the participation.

Police for one

So half what I've said for overestimating and not including expenses.

its still over £5m we never had a sniff of this year which I would say is significant to us these days

[eskbankloyal 19,446]

Without an extremely favourable set of draws there's no chance we will reach the group stages.

Without the group stages which will be very tough to reach it'll be next to nothing in truth

Well this won't come back to scud you in the chin.....

[The Specky Forum Organiser 65,096]

We're not getting anywhere near 50k for Europa League qualifiers anyway. 

[The Godfather 72,074]

In truth there is very little money to be made unless you make the group stages as we all know. Sell out's ect also never happened when we were actually in this in previous years before groups (even in the groups) so again that's pie in the sky.

Too many 'might's' and 'ifs' in this thread. I'm out.

[simplythebest 11,453]

Got to admire the optimism I guess!

Think you've added an extra 0 at the end.
