[Archived] The Business Case For Replacing Kean

[The_Expert]

Hello folks,

I've just run some basic numbers to see what the business case for replacing Kean might look like and come up with some interesting results...

Assuming we paid off the bald lump with a cash sum, say £600K, and looking at the immediate impact that might have on additional season ticket sales, with a further say 1500 walk ons per game (including me, I might add), this is how it looks:

• 1000 extra season tickets, plus walk ons = approximately £663,000 additional revenue to the end of the season (therefore a £37K benefit in sacking Kean)
  
• 2000 extra season tickets plus walk ons = £896,000 additional revenue (£296K nett of sacking)
  
• 3000 extra s t + walk ons = £1,155,000 additional revenue (+£515K)
  
• 5000 extra + walk ons = £1,673,000 (i.e. £1.1 million benefit)
  
• 8000 extra (yes, pushing it a bit, but if we were going balls out for promotion,..) = £2,45,000 (or nearly 2 million up!..)
  

I know the figures are quick and dirty, but I thought Venkys were supposed to be business people - the business case, in my opinion, stacks up for getting rid of the idiot right here, right now. What do you think?

Come on Venkys and Shebby. Grow some.

(assumptions:)

1) Cost of scacking coco around £600k

2) £259 per season ticket (pnly full tickets assumed)

3) Average cost for walk ons £18

4) 1500 casual supporters coming back to Rovers each week.

Not to mention sponsorship, increased revenue in the catering, merchandise sales etc...these figures therefore are VERY much on the low side.

I'm sure you could add to that an increase in merchandise, I imagine a good number of fans have chosen a full boycott.

If the powers at be chose a wise replacement you would imagine an amount of sponsorship would follow too.

We can but hope!

this should have been thrust upon Venkys after the 1st home match of the season. Any sane business minded person looking at that, knowing how to attain that would do the right thing ASAP

Assuming we paid off the bald lump with a cash sum, say £600K

I know that is an estimated figure and its probably not far off but it really made me feel sick that a guy who is nothing but an abject failure, a liar and a hate figure within the fans of the club he manages somehow manages to get a payoff of over 1/2 million, more money than any fan will see in their lifetime barring a lottery win.

What is the world coming to when a guy like Kean is entitled to cash like that?
