Mitrovic's wages means its a none starter. 

Wagner is investing millions and millions in the city of Birmingham and its different sporting clubs plus he has increased the commercial revenue of the club. They are expecting £50 millions this season in revenue. They have commercial deals with Delta Airlines, Vertu Motors and Coral have all joined Nike and Undefeated 

We were playing in the division higher than Brum last season, why are we not bringing in sponsorship revenue on this scale?

We really are hard up if we cant or wont sign players until we allow 3 players, none of them involved in first team squads, and none of whom will be on much, to be bundled out of the door.

You have a wage budget and we have one space for a right winger signing other than that, we have 2 or more players for each position. Pears isn't even warming up pre game as 3rd choice if case Michalski or Toth got injury. Can you afford to have here post transfer window if that the case. So you need one to leave in order to bring one in. Budget, but also to allow someone like Buckley to play regular and have a career

This reads very much as the venky party like being towed

Birmingham and Wrexham have exploited their owners' connections abroad particularly in the USA and signed highly lucrative international sponsorship deals despite only being able to offer League One/Two football up until this year.

Ambition. Thinking big. Not accepting your lot in life with a shrug of the shoulders.

Contrast to this rotten regime, refusing to look beyond Darwen for sponsors or fans, not having a commercial director. 'We're a local small town club' bizarrely used as some sort of badge of honour yet hamstringing the club financially.

These owners have done NOTHING in 15 years to secure the club advantageous sponsorship. Other than their own 'sponsorship' - forced to do it as a way of legitimately getting more money into the club (stickers on the shirts and filthy boards across the Riverside) there hasn't been a single sponsorship of any size or duration with Indian companies/firms. Zero effort or interest.

Delta, Virtu, Nike, Coral 

sounds like an ambitious commercial department 

meanwhile our lot go to one naff Lancashire networking brunch and get a main shirt sponsor from down the road and can’t bring in anything with reach outside of a 25 mile radius of the club (macron as the exception by necessity) 

 

 

edit: JH beat me to it and put it much better

If they'd actually made some effort and made us a well known name in India as they claimed was the plan we'd at least have a bit more income from over there.

Didn't want to spend any of their personal money though did they once the Venky Xpress UK plans went tits up.

It's another one of those strange situations.

A strange circumstance that doesn't tally up with having wealthy owners.

An ownership of this wealth, who apparently wanted to make 'Blackburn India's premier club',  has done zilch in 15 years to bring Indian brands on board for sponsorship. Why not?

They surely have plenty of contacts over there. Some might say they don't have a clue what they are doing football wise. No disputing that...but this is very odd.

In 15 years I can't think of one positive thing that has happened at the club.

Almost as though they want to keep their ownership of the club quite low key for whatever reason.....
