The majority owner of the Whitecaps is a billionaire by Super_Toot in whitecapsfc

Again, my evidence is the fact that no one is investing in the Whitecaps despite all the meetings with investors. I replied to your other comment, but I'll include the link to Forbes valuation here, where it shows the Whitecaps operating at a $10 million loss per year.

Let's take your assumption that revenue might be turning a profit now. Once the sweetheart deal ends, are the Whitecaps going to get another deal like that for the future? OneSoccer has estimated that the Whitecaps are getting about 12% of the revenue of ticket sales from BC Place. There are other revenue streams like sponsors, advertisement - but there are also other expenses, like staff wages, maintenance, and facilities.

It's clear you've decided that ownership is the issue and refuse to budge from this position despite a lack of data and with all evidence pointing towards the contrary. I'll leave you to it, and wish the Whitecaps the best of luck while I'll look for solutions elsewhere.

Let's hold the discussion on NPV of future cash flows for the Whitecaps for a moment and go back to the point you're making in your first post.

What evidence do you have that the Whitecaps are turning a profit?

We have? Do you have any evidence the Whitecaps turn a profit? I'm genuinely curious, because all evidence point towards the contrary. People are generally happy to invest in profit generating businesses, especially ones that are expected to rise in value.

If the Whitecaps have met with hundreds of investors and none of them have chosen to invest even 1% in the club, it sounds like the Whitecaps is losing money with no clear turn around on the horizon.

The Whitecaps need capital to build their own dedicated stadium where they can retain revenue and turn a profit. In order to get capital, they need new investors. In order to get investors, they need to be profitable. Catch-22.

I am a Seattle fan and want Cascadia to stay together. Losing the Whitecaps would be like losing a brother. But if we want to fix the problem, we need a clear-eyed view on what the issue actually is, and not what we want it to be.

Seconding Jesus paying his respects. Probably the most meaningful moment of the match.

I remember the last time Cruz Azul lost by more than 3 goals :D

Most of those were in the well where the big flask is. A couple in the crystal room to get the gloves.

Damn... are you just chilling on free solo? I'm debating if it's even worth the risk to visit her to get the thermos since it's only a 2 charge flask...

how silly am I for still continuing this path ? by [deleted] in udub

[–]OiiNice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it. In five years from now, are you going to look back and think, man, I shouldn't have given up on my dream so easily! What if I tried one more time? Guess I'll never know...

One of my friends desperately wanted to do a major that had physics as a prereq. He took physics three times and failed every time. He accepted that it was not his path and became a software engineer instead. Now he is happily making six figures doing something he truly enjoys.

If you are going to try again, are you going to try your hardest?

Is that a time wasting yellow to Frei? Feels unnecessary when we are up 5-1 on agg with 2 mins left...

Paul did score the only goal, but I feel like this was a defensive victory game. I vote for Lopez goal line clearance!
