The Infrastructure Projects

[Username]

Does Marinakis actually have the money to build a half a billion pound stadium and a training ground at probably £100m while servicing a premier league club that costs him £40m a year, a greek club and now a Portuguese club? I know he's a wealthy man but that's an awful lot of money.

The stadium build would be mortgaged over a lot of years

Interesting. 

Surely the costs of servicing a loan of that magnitude would outweigh the financial benefit in the short and medium term?

Toton for example would be funded partly by a Grant you would think.

15 extra seats at £30 a game equates to an additional 10m a year in revenue
Then a brand new ground would absolutely dwarf our current commercial revenue not just on match days, but 365 days of the year.
We make about 2/3m a year from match day corporate hospitality.
That would double or treble with a purpose built stadium.
Then you have stadium naming rights that would be lucrative.

A new stadium would easily generate 20/25m more a year in revenue 

Infrastructure costs aren’t counted in PSR regs, so this is / would be game changing

I very much doubt it will be funded by a grant, in fact I’d happily wager that it won’t, that’s just a case of people putting two and two together. 

Therefore I suspect that the level of debt funding won’t be dissimilar to what will come in from a turnover perspective, especially if they are going to build a whole sports village.
