Swiss Ramble will hopefully be getting a good look and will let us know where the money is going/gone. I do also find it hard to believe that we are paying out over £100 million a season, in wages. And Brighton making more commerically? :D No disrespect to them, but that's the sign of how things have changed at this club during the last 14 years. We are ran with a League 2 mentality.

It’s mental. tea boy’s done good. He’ll be the only person wishing the takeover doesn’t go through as he’ll  have to go back to an office junior job somewhere. Actually he’s probably the fucker scuppering it the devious little twat.

Is the tea boy Ashley's son in law, by any chance?

Our commercial income was higher than Spurs’ just before Ashley bought us but now we’re £160m behind them and we also generate less than Brighton FFS! But, we should be grateful for him apparently! 
 

 

Fancy having a lower commercial income than fucking Brighton. A team that has had, what, 4/5 seasons playing PL football?

 

Fucking outrageous.

No, the other one is straight from accounts (18/19 for us as we delayed filing) which is what we should comparing to.

 

Yours is base weekly wage only of the playing staff and excludes a multitude of others costs - bonuses, sign on fees, the whole management/coaching staff etc plus 200 other employees.

Fair enough, I just hate that fat fucka so much I'm suspicious of everything he does, the loss wouldn't have been so bad if he put the Strawberry land money in his back pocket, but we should be all grateful because he hasn't called in the the debt he took on himself by not doing DD.

It’s Mikes club, he can do with it how he pleases. We have let him do that for 15 years now with zero complaints, so just keep silent, get your season ticket and carry on with the misery.

Those querying the wages, guessing that’s about right given the large bonuses he gives for every place above 17th as well?

I can see that resemblance. Brucie's tits are bigger than Barbara Windsor's, though.

Babs' tits would probably be more motivational as training than the facilities.....pity they weren't great even by the standards of the time

I can easily believe that, even without bonuses (if those bonuses even exists for the players). Villa will probably over take us next year and Wolves will gain significantly.

This one is damning.

 



Swiss Ramble on Twitter: "Despite the fall in 2020, #NUFC £153m revenue has grown £27m (21%) in last four years, entirely due to the new TV deal that started in 2017/18. It’s a similar story since Ashley’s arrival in 2007, as revenue has grown £66m, but £80m is from centrally negotiated TV contracts. https://t.co/7pUTGmZRR7" / Twitter
