Colos Short and Curlies Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 If we start at a £69m loss as our going rate (basically Adidas equalling Champions League revenue) we are adding in the sale of Kelly and Miggy (probably £10m PSR profit as there will have been upfront costs with Kelly) and I think the Ashworth money comes into this year as well, so somewhere between £2m and £5m there we end up with a PSR loss of around £45m. Our position for the end of this year is then -54+9-45= £90m but more importantly we start 2025/2026 at 9-45= £36m loss which allows us a £69m loss in 2025/2026 (ignoring UEFA rules here). That's £24m of additional amortisation and wages so I'd say between £90m and £100m in transfer fees. You can then add on whatever the expected earnings will be from Europe, get Champions league and we can probably double that, Europa I guess we'd work on getting to the final which gives us a further £20m-£30m to spend. So basically anywhere between £90m and £200m depending on where we finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 13 minutes ago, Sibierski said: Only just made enough because it meant we sold a highly rated youngster in Anderson for essentially £15m. That's not a canny strategy, that was a scramble where we were always going to come out 2nd best. Obviously getting to June was not a great strategy but once we got there the gap was bridged with a (yes high potential) winger and a midfielder who played the sum of 10 games last season. The alternative was a Bruno, Gordon, Isak. They ultimately played the right card at the time, as much as it sucks that we had to sell either one of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I don't think the people in charge deserve much credit for saving their arses with the Anderson and Minteh sales. They fucked up badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fucked up badly. To an extent, but it’s exaggerated. We made some great signings and made up for the overspend by losing two players who may never have made it here. Not ideal but not a disaster. You could argue that we should’ve just bought cheap players since the takeover I guess, but I like the players we bought.

We should all just agree that all of the following is true and then never talk about this again: On the whole our business since the takeover has been spectacular We put ourselves in a terrible position through some combination of hubris, gambling, poor planning, and bad luck We avoided a points deduction and selling a key player at a discount, but we were forced to sell two young, solid players. This did not help our wage situation and we had to take on a useless player who we'll be paying for for years. It was not the worst (or second) worst case scenario; it was also not good. On the whole our business since the takeover has been spectacular Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted Monday at 08:37 Share Posted Monday at 08:37 This surely has to be a catalyst now for coming months to announce new big sponsorship deals, training ground plans, stadium plans etc. Ride a continuous wave all way to start of next season with some new purples/kids to add to the CHAMPION ranks.

greydos Posted Monday at 08:38 Share Posted Monday at 08:38 Now we’ve won a trophy, the club should just spend what it likes on players and spend even more taking the rules down. I don’t care about a points dedication. Let’s win everything. Trophies. Football regulation. Cartels. Win & destroy it all!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
