The State of Sheffield United's Finances

[YorkBlade]

The 2019/20 accounts were recently released, this video with accountant Darren Smith highlights some of the key areas and looks ahead to what we will likely see in the 2020/21 accounts.

On the agenda

-Stadium and assets
-Playing budget
-Agent fees (eye watering)
-How much the Prince has actually put in of his own money (if any)
-How much the club lost due to the Coronavirus (eye watering...er)
-What USG going bust means for us in terms of sponsorship
-How much, in total, we will lose due to relegation

Any chance of the vlogs being put on an audio format? I don't get chance to watch the vids but I auto download podcasts to listen to in my many hours in the car, and I never have enough.

A briefing of the accounts by the one man who has continuously defended the Prince in every single decision no matter how bad it has been.

I have seen him on twitter and he is the Princes friends. Not even worth a watch.

You can download anything from youtube in either video or mp3. I use 4K video downloader the free one.

Numbers are Numbers though. Unless you're claiming the club is trying to con the tax man?

No, unless anyone wants to pay for that as hosting a podcast costs even more money and we are already spending a fair bit on making these for our fellow Blades BUT

You can listen to our videos on your journey to work in the car safely and legally simply use Bluetooth audio in the media option – press play on the video before you set off, place your phone somewhere where you can’t see it and listen through your stereo. I do this everyday and I'm a technophobe.

OR

To get our videos as podcasts: Download it from youtube and convert it to Mp3. Google 4k video downloader that will sort it for you and has full instructions.

No worries, just a suggestion, but understandable cost implications.

Useful video. A good summary for us non accountants dispelling a number of conspiracy theories about the Princes financial contribution to the Club. The only question I have is has Darren got the figure of TV money right for next year at £42m. First year of parachute payments is 55% of what we would have been earned. Reading the attached I calculate worse case scenario we would be due around £97m this year if we had stayed up. That gives us £53m? Could be wrong.

What bad decisions are you referring to?

He's obviously talking about the terrible decision to give away £3.4m in charitable donations.

Or the shocking decision to not take a single penny out to pay directors.

What a crook.
