So..12mill plus add ons for brookes...how much does wilder get to reinforce?

Las years financials. No owner investment in the summer window. Owner investment in January: Prince: "This year we might break even but only because of the (Kyle) Walker and (Harry) Maguire (sell-on) deals. But we expect another deficit next season. We are break even only if we assume there is no activity in January and I think that is not a correct projection".

so we should be 5 million up then?

Nope, no losses only if no January signings were made.Then minus whatever the January signings cost in terms of fees, wages and agents fees. I would guess at minus 4 million - two million a piece. A cheap year for the owners at this level.

You won't forget though.

Care to suggest where you think it's gone rather than just asking questions?

I would suggest it's straightening the books, myself. Odd though. Since Wilder has been in the team has been pretty consistent and last season's attendances have been above average for the previous seasons. It's credible to speculate the club is haemorrhaging cash somewhere, surely? As I maintain, I am not suggesting (and never will suggest, regardless of other more speculative claims) that McCabe or HRH are 'on the make'. Its clear to see they are not crooked, but what could be suggested is that the rank incompetence we have grown used to is still there. Its okay accepting that HRH and McC shove cash into the club - but in big handsful - on what, exactly? If we are running constantly at a defecit, what is their business forecast (Dragon's Den Style) which gives any confidence that one day we'll be in the black?

I still don't trust either of them that they are being entirely honest with regard how much debt the club is in and what their strategy is to get us out of that. The only way you can get out of that is down on the pitch, and its pretty quiet as to what the forward thinking plan is to do that.

We won't be able to replace Brooks that's the first bit. We'll bring in someone else but I'd be amazed if they're the equal to Brooks.

As for the transfer fund its rare to see teams spend all of the money so I would guess half of it for the team would be there or there about. There's the wages of course to signing players so I can't see us being able to sign players for big fees as they won't be in our wage structure. It'll be hard to find players better than what we have that want to come on our wage structure which probably explains Wilder looking at loans but hopefully we might be able to go up a tad with the sale of Brooks.

The club loses money every year and has done for some time. All funded by McCabe initially and now jointly.

Increased attendances/increased wages. As expected in a higher division.


What makes you think the club is in debt? Who too? They wouldn't be putting money into effectively worthless shares if they were putting the burden on creditors.

Plus they've made no secret of the fact the PL is the aim.
