The value given in the BBC report is conflicting. One figure states £120 million, while another says that Ireland, Wales, Scotland in line for £35 million each with the Italian and South African teams in line for something too. £120 million would be £80 million less than CVC paid for an equivalent share in the Premiership last December.

Re: Pro 14 - General Thread
There's that 27% again - any idea why? All I could find was that Special Resolutions of a company need 75% of the shareholders - so some power being held by them. Anything else?

If the rumours are true the irfu could be getting about €85m from both CVC deals (pro14 and 6 nations). Its a big injection of cash but raises the question of what should be done with it.
I suppose the aviva could be expanded. That would be a good investment and more than cover rising costs for a long time to come.

No it isn't. It isn't an injection at all. It's simply an upfront payment of cash that would be coming to us anyway.

Re: Pro 14 - General Thread
They might. But as things stand, next year our commercial revenue is down 27%. For us to even see a 1% increase in that revenue, the total revenue has to increase 28%. Thats a sizeable increase.

I can't remember how many you would need to significantly expand LR but it would be minimum in the teens of millions before you even spend cash on a feasibility study
Plus you would get architects "horrified" that more of old Dublin was getting destroyed
Re: Pro 14 - General Thread
Assuming the structure of the deal is as you describe, this isn't really accurate. We have 27% of anticipated next years revenue up-front from CVC. So if revenues remain static, it's a wash - except that the clubs received 27% up front and 73% in the following years. And they should account for it that way - spread as income over the lifetime of the deal as opposed to a one-off windfall in year 1 and 27% reduction in revenue in the following years (though seeing some of the commentary on-line I'm not sure people understand that).Dave Cahill wrote:They might. But as things stand, next year our commercial revenue is down 27%. For us to even see a 1% increase in that revenue, the total revenue has to increase 28%. Thats a sizeable increase.
So if overall revenue increases by 1%, CVC will get 27% and the clubs get 73%. So for the clubs to see a 1% increase in revenue, there needs to be a 1.36% increase in overall revenue (1.36 * 0.73) = 1
Of course - if some clubs went and splashed the initial payment on Teddy's ice cream in the first year, then they are going to feel a lot of pain in the following years

Re: Pro 14 - General Thread
Dropkick, do you not remember the saga that was the rebuilding of the Aviva. The locals wanted the stadium gone, or at least at reduced capacity. The soccer games had a 33k capacity in the old LR (thanks to Liverpool FC fans (Heysel)) and I think they wanted to keep that for both codes. Hence we have a 3/4 stadium. €85m wouldn't get the irfu through the planning process.dropkick wrote:If the rumours are true the irfu could be getting about €85m from both CVC deals (pro14 and 6 nations).

They should hire Brendan Mullins as their legal advisor.
The IRFU should have (maybe they are) be buying up those properties any time they come on the market.
Take the long view.
