John P Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The laughable thing is that even by showing a massive bias in the numbers they put up, it still looks abysmal that we've spent £3.6m. Not even SSN could polish that turd, but they've given it a good go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Also shows that we have spent less than we thought this summer. Of course, people will look at that and thinks it's all reasonable, which was the Ashley PR plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 2014/15 season we brought in £20.7m, so the actual spend was £9.8m 2015/16 season we only brought in £2m, so the actual spend was £76.2m (all for fucking McClaren too man) 2016/17 season we brought in a whopping £85.8m, so instead of it saying we spent a hugely generous £54.1m, we actually came out of that season £31.7m up 2017/18 season we brought in £25.9m so the actual spend was £16.7m Overall Sky are saying over those seasons flash Mike has spent £180m, when in truth, when you take off the money we have recouped in sales, it is actually only £74.6m. Massive difference and over 5 seasons it's absolute shite. It averages around £15m per season. Saying that, I didn't put this season's sales so far on that so it's going to be even worse.

Odear Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Out of curiosity, how much money have we brought in through sales during the period shown on the graphic? We can only guess for the most part because the club nearly always announce deals out for an undisclosed fee. It could be more than what we think or could be less.. Wonder will they break even with Sels leaving now? 50% loss on Mbemba apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 On that Finances Video on YT, it states that in Ashleys 10 year ownership (up to the Championship season), we have spent £308m, but recouped £244m - thus, our net spend over those 10 years is just £65m.... Or to average it, £6.5m a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 SSN and Ashley go hand in hand, at the moment. Very cosy relationship. I would say they are fair game to attack, as they are happy to push club PR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Suppose the difficulty of the net spend argument is that you can argue it's better to be bringing money back in for players you don't want/need, and running the club "sensibly". Not true as we know, but I can see people saying that on places like SSN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I wonder what assurances Rafa got in his contract to agree to the £6m figure? Will he get £6m if they sack him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true as we know, but I can see people saying that on places like SSN. Running the club Ashley's way has led to two relegations as well as seasons where the drop has been a real worry. Would SSN say that the likes of Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool are ran sensibly? Course they wouldn't. So why should NUFC be different? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It’s often repeated but I’m not sure I believe it,I seem to remember before he signed it he had a team of lawyers going through the contract with a fine tooth comb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymc1 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 To make the statistics even more in our favour it's better to report net spend per window as opposed to per season. Might as well join them in twisting things if we can't beat them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
