All being equal Tony Stewart will put £3m into the budget for this season. He seems happy to lose this amount on order to stroke his ego, make connections/advertise his businesses and make a contribution to the town but that is probably his limit.
We as fans have bought around 6500 season tickets. How much is that worth to the club?? A lot less than you think. When you take into account concessions, VAT, the football league levy and the cost of the direct debit system, the club will receive about £1.5m. If an average of 2000 fans pay on the day (they won't, that figure will be less) you are looking at 700k. One thing is for sure, Stewart will put more into the club this season than all the fanbase put together. Does anyone seriously think there is someone out there who is willing to do more? I seriously doubt it.
Well the club generally generates 11.5 million in total with 9 million on outgoings apart from that Blackstock year where we had outgoings at 13 million and 1.6 million of that was transfers. Big player wages like blackstock halford are gone so it should be making money but we won’t know for sure until figures for the coming year come out.

However you can’t run a championship club on freebies
