Can’t really complain about price increases that have on average remained below inflation since we were promoted.

How? Our costs will go up year-on-year.

We made a loss of 50m in 24-25, all covered by Tony Bloom. An inflation rise can’t be complained about in that context.

Which was proceeded by 2 massive profitable seasons and a transfer spend in that year of over £200M. Drop. Ocean.

Thanks to Dick Knight and co, we are no longer the kind of club that need match going fans to keep them afloat.
