where did GP once say thankyou to the fans for collecting money in buckets?????Where did he once put his hand up and admit things were done badly?.How did he repay the faith of the fans through the bad times....Yes buy fleecing fans .....yes by making sure 3000 were priced out....you can blame flav and co but as pete stated on here Gianni is chairman in all but name.....as pete said he attends all the chairmans of the league meetings so there for he has an input into these terrible decisions.1.3 million is what was extra revenue from season ticket increases had all 9000 renewed yet as only 6000 did it has generated an extra 800000 quid.Build into that loss in programme sales food and drink purchased in the ground etc etc and figure is more like 450k.Easy answer is get rid of one bad overpaid signing and save at least 10k a week and the club can reduce the season tickets by 125 quid a year.One thing people overlook it the fact we have spent hardly any money in the transfer market so if we get in a loan we pay a percentage of their wages.So how exactly has any of the extra revenue gone into the playing side.This begs the question of why the debt has increased greatly... A few years back we would sign someone for 200 or 300 k put them on wages of 2 or 3 k a week ..total spend 300-450k including wages.we used to lose 1.5 million a year and now its more like 5-6 million a year.All this extra sponsorship money we have now we never had back then either so where is the money goin coz it aint on the big money players we were promised is it .....Mind you we didnt pay all those agents fees!!!!!!

I agree with the price rise like any other fan and I have made that known many times however, the price rise has nothing to do with Gianni.
If you want to say it's all he's fault that the rest of the board should have the same amount of blame.
Like you I feel something has to change for next year others numbers could well drop again.Comment

They need to learn for all the mistakes made and get it right once and for all.Comment

Gianni cannot be blamed for the ticket prices imposed by the new regime
The blame firmly sit's with Briatore / Ali RussellComment

Correct but he can't see into the future so how would he have known they intend to put up tickets prices?Originally posted by The Merry Ploughboy View Post
In relation to transfers Gianni has his hands tied as it's not his money anymore so if Briatore doesnt want to splash the cash what can he do?Comment

In GP's defence, if he didn't bring them to the club, there may not be a club.Originally posted by The Merry Ploughboy View Post
He couldn't have foreseen the price structure the new regime would impose, so can't be blamed for the ST increase.
And im not anti or pro Gianni, for the record.Comment
