Really interesting post (BTW, are you still in California? If so, we are practically neighbours at the moment).
I'm sure there must be something missing from the potential income, as we would probably be mid-table Championship in terms of gate receipts, and certainly a fair few with gates significantly less than ours. Sponsorship money would definitely increase significantly, but we definitely need to balance the books. I also believe players wage expectations at all non-Prem clubs will have to be modified in the aftermath of the huge costs to clubs of Covid (which is where we are lucky with the Eisners). That said, we have a reason to expect the Eisners to increase the budget enough to be able to stay in the Championship if we get there, it would be as much of interest to them as to us. Meanwhile, let's get that elusive CF in!
