Could Ashley fiddle the wages and pay himself ? Eg. Say in the accounts he's paying £110 million but in reality only be forking out £60 million and pocket the rest ?

Approx £150m on wages and about £80m on player amortisation (iirc).

How has Ashley been able to sustain running the club on the shoestring and the club not collapsing? Genuine question.

 

A loyal fan base willing to cough up? That he spends only when in the absolute shit and stopping a Mackem-esque collapse?

He’s got lucky. We should have went down more than twice and he’s lucky we came straight back up both times

Record TV deals being replaced by even bigger Record TV deals as they expire combined with Rafa and Chris Hughton bailing us out the two times his gambles backfired and we got relegated.  I think both the club and him would've been in trouble if we didn't bounce back first time asking.

Amortisation is only a paper loss though, isn't it?  If I have £100 in cash and my car depreciates £50, I still have £100 in cash.

My dad who has been going for over 60 years cancelled his season ticket today. It will be interesting to see how many gaps there are next week.

Amazingly there are still people excited about going to see a friendly v Norwich on Saturday

Probably the novelty of actually being able to see a game live at a lowish price will entice a few idiots. Let's see if they're still smiling at HT.

And seeing another decent team live…
