Chiefs have lots of income streams including rich people. Wage bill is kept tight.Not a jock wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 10:57 amYes, it'd be very interesting to see the corresponding figures for other clubs, especially the (current) near neighbours.Coops wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 10:15 am Income from ticket sales (the rugby income) only accounts for 26% of the total income:
Rugby income £5,391k
Premier Rugby Limited income £6,097k
Commercial income £8,923k
Total Income £20,411k
I don't know if the PRL income is exactly the same for all 12 clubs (is the PRL pot equally split?) but let's assume it is - we have a really good fan base and therefore probably have one of the largest rugby incomes. If that's case, it's really easy to see how other clubs are struggling to operate.
My brother sometimes goes to Sandy Park and tells me that Exeter Chiefs ticket prices are teh highest in the Premier League so that might compensate for a smaller crowd to some degree.

£20 would be fine. It's £1.25 a game. Surely people would be ok with an increase of £1.25 per game?!jgriffin wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 9:34 amThe bean counters should be able to roughly estimate an increase that would preserve sales. My guess is about 5%.
Beyond that we are at the mercy of behavioural factors as well as economic swings. My view is to sit tight while the latter resolves itself, as we may see unpredictable changes.

Re: Business question.
JGRIFFIN,
"Chiefs have lots of income streams including rich people. Wage bill is kept tight." is that tight as in secret and/or tight as in strict adherence to budget?

Re: Business question.
^^ bit of both I think.
They will start to come under pressure now I think with their wage bill. The player profiles have drastically improved since they got promoted, moved through the premiership and won silverware, some gaining international honours along the way. Their agents will be wanting to get their pound of flesh.
Does that mean some players will leave because Exeter can't match their demands (of other clubs)? Maybe so. I wonder what their long term strategy is for this? It's sustainable short term as players are already locked into their 3/5 year contracts but when they expire it opens up a problem IMO

Re: Business question.
A more interesting way to look at the business is to look at the EBITDA.
This is earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation. It shows the underlying profitability of the business before deprecation of assets etc.
I would be far more concerned if this was negative than if the operating profit was negative.

Neither them or their holding company look particularly profitable. Margins of less than 2%.jgriffin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 6:00 pmStuff used to happen through SW Comms, the boss's firm. Assume the shenanigans still occurs.Not a jock wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:55 am JGRIFFIN,

Re: Business question.
That's interesting! Wonder if the new money is where it's now at, although SW Comms never bankrolled the club as much as suggested, more a conduit for investors. The club is Rob, if he went a lot of loyal support would evaporate.

Take out the hefty directors' remuneration and you're on over 10%, after tax.Coops wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 6:49 pmNeither them or their holding company look particularly profitable.
