How the fuck is our wage bill 112.2m, sounds like we didn't put any relegation clauses in contracts again.

 

Makes zero sense, total bullshit.

 

£30m offset for players not required, they've taken an accounting hit on a number of players contracts.

I wonder if one day it will click that running the football side of things badly has devastating financial consequences.

Timing on those accounts is very deliberate. Can't afford to spend, only came back up due to the overwhelming generosity of our owner etc etc.

 

Gearing up for the manager leaving and getting the excuses in.

 

My thoughts exactly.

A £90m loss (given incoming transfer fees and parachute payments) and such a high wage bill don't sound right whatsoever like.

 

Aye, PP not mentioned at all in that article. Surely they should be a factor?!

What was our wage bill in the relegation season compared to the championship? Im smelling bullshit

 

Parachute payment? players sales? and we still lost £90m?

 

There is no way most of those players were on Premier League wages.

Newcastle United’s wage bill for the 2015/16 season was £74.7million – a figure that eclipses almost all of their Championship rivals but is now lower mid-table in the Premier League.

 

More detailed club accounts will be revealed in the coming days but United’s wage bill to turnover is 59.4% of £125.8million – which makes the staff wage bill £74.7million. That is up on the £65.1million recorded in the 2014/15 season.

 

Lee Charnley acknowledged that United’s wage bill was STILL at Premier League level as he spoke about the accounts: “Our approach, following relegation, was to make further sizeable investment in our playing squad in preparation for the EFL Championship season ahead and our annual wage bill is, we believe, still above and beyond many current Premier League teams.”

What the fuck.  See, that sounds about right.  How the fuck do we have an "operating loss" of £90m?! :lol:

wasn't our spend something like £80m incoming, £50m outgoing?  i guess if you only get £10-20m of that that £80m up front it's gonna hurt like

The loss is £44m btw, you get tax relief on losses.

 

The massive difference (~£50m) will actually mostly be to do with player sales. That doesn't effect the operating profit in the accounts so they've purposely used that as their headline figure.
