Is it today.....

[Old Programme seller]

Slav will at least leave because we can see what’s happened and we’d agree unlike the wilder saga where there’s 2 sides to that story

 

[Netsix_and_chill]

They are selling us some bollocks here, what hole in the finances? The one that the parachute payments fill, is it that hole?

It isn't like we were handing contracts out like Barcelona for the years we were in the prem, we couldn't sign anyone who actually wanted paying they went to Villa or Brighton instead.

I am calling bullshit on the having a £40m hole in the finances.

Players on high wages we couldnt sell at the mo

Frustrating though because we’ve had weeks to try and shift them. Doesn’t even have to be a greater offer for some of them. Burke can go for £500k in my opinion. Just get him and his wages gone. Same with norwood, fleck and others

£40m per year is about £770k per week, how many players can we possibly have who are on more than about £30k a week?

It doesn't add up and is beginning to smell like asset stripping to me.

The parachute payments and 2 years of the sweet sweet Premier League TV money should have us in a good position for this season.

We will see what is our wage bill when the accounts come out

It's currently looking like the biggest shit show imaginable. All we need to do to top it off is sell Berge and Jebbison on the last day and we'll have somehow out wanked Derby who are under an embargo.

What we seemed to be doing is the exact opposite of spunking money. Someone needs to tell the prince that operating at some sort of a loss in the championship is effectively impossible unless we restrict our budget to that of Salford City.

Heres my prediction, we spend nothing to help us cover losses, we don’t sign anyone of note and we finish mid table at best. Because we are resigned to the fact we are a championship club we have to sell more players to cover more losses associated with being in the championship in January. We then don’t sign anyone of note next season either because of the above, and fall further down the table.

or

Capitalise on the fact we actually have a small safety net now - parachute payments, a transfer fee and a really weak championship. Invest some money and attempt to get out of the division at the first time of asking. If we miss out so be it, but I guarantee Berges, Jebbison and the rest of the teams value off the back of a good season will be more than off a shit one. We could then easily sell players to raise capital for a rebuild.

No jam today or tomorrow

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I’d back him if he left. I wouldn’t want to be apart of such a shit show

I’d join him if he left

Who's going to cover the losses, though? Not our owner because he can't afford it.

Hey Seth

glad everyone is still pleased with the poundland prince. So remind me, do we have a 5m signino onloan in Belgium still? Well at least the prince is not Kevin McCabe

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

The worst part about this massive f*ck up of a transfer window is that those in South Barnsley are loving life with their new squad, winning every week & their ego/ chip on shoulder is regrowing.

Us on the other hand are making a massive cock up of a season where we should be one of the ‘better teams’, trying to sign players that don’t want to come here and watch Norwood/ Fleck/ Foderingham/ Brewster attempt to play foootball, Slav depressingly mumble his way through an interview

But I’ll still see you in Luton lads

Monies come in at the end of the season.
We have borrowed money to buy players and for two years paid higher wages.
So, we spent money on stadium upgrades before anything else and bought for us a lot of players.
Promotion bonus’s were paid on top of that.

All that money had to be borrowed as Prince didn’t have the funds to lend to the club to cover it. At the end of the season we spent on more players.
Like the others, all of them would be chucks of fee payable over an agreed period.

At this point, millions is lost due to Covid, wages still need paying and we have a shit season….despite another Chuck of money coming in it will cover that years wages and fees.
On to this season….more fee payments due, and even though wages were reduced the parachute money won’t cover it.
So he’s looking to find £40m in sales to cover the difference.

I think it’s very believable we have a big gap, just remember we were losing £15m when we paid bottom end champ wages, I suspect we will be top end champ wages now!!

 

[Netsix_and_chill]

So despite being promoted and spending two years in the Premier League we are now worse off than if we had just not bothered? Kinda leaves you wondering what the point of it all is then doesn't it?

Yep mixed interests! Should stop his hobby of buying football clubs!

We're gunna be left high and fuckin dry.

Saw the opposite to that years back. Local fisherman had tied his boat with too short a rope. High tide filled and sank his boat. At low tide it was still sunk and he was bailing.

Put your tampon back in!

This asset stripping bollocks has been going on ever since McCabe was at the club and guess what???

Each and every time our accounts, independently audited may I add, are released there is literally zero evidence of any money being moved out of the club.

 

[Old Programme seller]

I do wish that we had a fully trained accountant who knew enough to decipher where financially.

Hardly deserves such a reply.

Just a different opinion to yours, accounts can be made to show many things. To me it just seems that once again we have wasted an opportunity to improve.

Questioning what has brought about the current situation is valid and really is what forums are for

No issue with questioning the current situation at all. It's a fucking shit show all round.

The thing that annoys the hell out of me is claiming the owner, who has never claimed to be rich enough, is somehow taking money out of the club. The no evidence of this at all, just like there wasn't with McSue.

Not sounding great.

All sounding a bit hand to mouth.

That Brewster deal was so unnecessary on so many levels.
