Prospective new owners will be looking at lengths of the expensive contracts in part causing this...

Lawrence whose contract is up and Rooney wants to keep til end of contract at least. Bielik maybe ? Not many left on long contracts that I know of.

I'd expect Lawrence, rooney and Bielik will be by far our highest earners. Maybe Forsyth? I'd imagine the likes of joswiak, marshall and Shinnie are probably on decent, but not excessive wages. Other than those i dont really know.

With the income available wages for all players, in every club should be half what they are.

angieram Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Those interim figures released today bring that into stark reality. Even a club like ours with a decent attendance and a massively reduced wage bill can't break even without a benevolent owner bankrolling the club. Yet the response from Prem teams to the proposal to spread the money down the system is the usual one of protecting themselves. ? jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lure premiership is what drives this. So who is at fault ? 2nd tier football clubs wanting a cut ? Or the premier for creating a closed shop with a crack in the door .. it’s a one armed bandit with loaded odds and the championship clubs as the punters. The daft thing is, without the dreams and fears or relegation the Premier League would be a sterile media created construct. It needs to be mended for all our sakes and for the spirit of the game, all games. Sport has an unequaled ability to bring all of us together in a way that no other human activity can.

Gritstone Ram Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 May be if we got some Royalty involved it may help us. I heard King Edward was interested. Also why don’t we have a Maris Piper playing outside the ground collecting money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reading angie is that this doesn't take account of advance season tickets sales (which were shown as a debt). So as season progresses that debt will shrink but the MSD loan will increase (until the take-over happens). Overall the debt is not increasing. I could be wrong.

MaltRam Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Can't get my head round it. We've done 2m on wages, 1.5m on admin, plus 1.2m in legal fees, but we only spent 3.summat million? Can anyone explain, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 A lot of people forget that there will be very little in the way of ticket money this season. I'd guess that the majority of season tickets were paid for last season and that money will be long gone. I've got no idea how many tickets we sell per match, but looking at the gates so far, it can't be that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
