Yorkie Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/17584706.accounts-show-limit-of-uniteds-ambition/ Glad to read that but a bit frustrating that the point about transfer expenditure is being missed. Charnley says we've spent £111m since we came back up. That needs pulling apart and exposed as the nonsense it is, when no one else in the league factors-in certain costs like we do, just to make it sound like we've spent more. Transfermarkt has our expenditure on transfer fees at roughly £93/94m over the past two seasons, with incomings of around £57m. Therefore, going by the same rules as everyone else, rather than Charnomatics, it's a net spend of about £37m. Just bullshit coming out of the club at usual. Thankfully I can't see many falling for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Another point, why did we have to take out an overdraft for the Almiron signing if there was still £11m left in the kitty? Why wasn't that used in January too? Probably because, due to the way we divide funds intended for transfers, there was probably about £1-2m of that £11m actually available to contribute to the transfer fee itself.

Probably because, due to the way we divide funds intended for transfers, there was probably about £1-2m of that £11m actually available to contribute to the transfer fee itself. Probably more to do with cashflow than anything. The kitty will be based on profits I assume but as the TV money (for example) is spread out through the year, the cash for a January transfer might not come in until later in the year.

morpeth mag Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 If LC wants to include the total costs of a player purchase he needs to compare this to the total savings from player sales, transfer fee and saved future salary. Notwithstanding that it is difficult to make true year on year comparisons with the way they put provisions in the 2016/17 accounts I see that the wage bill has fallen considerably from £112m to £93m pa. In the clubs own words we have a very low wage to turnover ratio (52%) and enough spare cash to pay back MA £33m so there is no excuse for saying we don't have the financial clout to back Rafa going forward. Also note that LC's pay doubled from £150k to £300k between the two years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 LC is an incompetent little shit. His comments are all spin and all worthless to me. He’s no ability to grow commercial income, no ability to manage the cash flow, no ability to convince Ashley to spend wisely, no ability to lead this club, and overall he’s a worthless fool. The comments about transfers and training ground are so stupid. MA not investing into facilities is what’s hurting his ability to sell most. I’m shocked he hasn’t figured that out. No wait, not shocked. He’s just not a smart guy. Capex needed in this type of world and he’s not the brain power to see this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 There is no way Ashley put in the figures quoted as loans to the club, no way. There is also some serious money missing from the club over the last few years, hidden in the account under various things. Also, he’s not owed whatever he paid for the club, he’s owed fuck all, he bought the fucking thing and it’s his like he would buy a car, a house, a holiday. The lack of even a half arsed investigation/questionining from the local media/journos is staggering. A panorama style investigation into our accounts and the affairs between agents and SD and Ashley’s so-called loans would reveal criminal activity.

TRon Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Ashley took back £33m in one payment? What the fuck was he going to do with all that anyway? We stagger payments over 5 years when signing players for half that sum, could he not have taken his money in instalments as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Even without commercial and match day income we'd be above or on par with WBA, Huddersfield, Swansea, Stoke, and £1m under Watford. The way this club is run, Ashley doesn't need a single bum on any of the seats in the stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If normal folk operated the way this club does no one would have a house or car.

Wallsendmag Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I never take all that much interest in the financial side of football but does this mean the club debt has now reduced by £33m or has it remained the same because in the past when he's taken money out of the club the debt seems to have either remained stable or even increased? Either way we're being bled dry and there's nowt we can do about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way we're being bled dry and there's nowt we can do about it. We've been in debt to Ashley ever since he bought the club (£111m). We became £33m further in debt to him when he injected that amount to aid running costs during the most recent Championship season. That's what has been paid back to him recently, but the original debt from when he first arrived still remains and will do until the club sells.
