Glad you're settled somewhere nice Gaff My point was more to try and get you to consider that 1.9% return on an asset isn't very good, especially when inflation hovers between 1%-3%. Doesnt really matter what the asset is; a house, a sports card trading company, whatever you like really.
The theme is that both Topps and PFC are being run very conservatively, to the point where it is hampering growth. Last season was the weakest the league has ever been and was a real chance to get out. I think a lot of people are frustrated at the missed opportunities due to having owners right at the opposite end of the risk spectrum. We won't go under in a big bang like last time but you do wonder if its a slow death being starved each season.
Promotion brings an additional 6M just for showing up. Thats before you factor in increased crowd size, ticket prices, triple the fees for televised games etc.
This season is transitional and I'm happy to be patient in January because I can see the foundations of a decent team being put together. However, I do think peoples patience is wearing thin with L1 after 5 years (10 years without championship football).
