Start with a 10pt deduction and have to sell a load of players with no chance to buy. They might have half a chance of beating our record then.

Ghost of Clough Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 3 hours ago, Mick Brolly said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68709502 Roughly £60m over budget afyer all exclusions are accounted for (rough estiamte without looking st any accounts). At least £26m of that due to 'budgeting' for a top 6 finish, and a further £10-15m due to sacking Rogers and his team. I can't see how they can explain the rest of the overspend.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Oxfords new stadium cost is currently running at 150 million -for a 16k seater stadium. Borrowing money and have already paid 5 million for planning with not enough info for the council to pass it. I assume it has marble crappers and gold taps. Boom but most likely bust incoming.

TomTom92 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Think it’s becoming more obvious that a super league or rules to benefit the top 6 will be ramped up in the next few years. PL don’t dare go against the big clubs because they want to be ‘the best with the best players’. EFL is that in the mud compared to PL that no PL clubs will want to help out the pyramid and instead will cross their toes and hope they never go down again. Or if they do parachute payments will allow them to go back up. Sad times for the English game.

Mick Harford Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Unfortunately aren't these figures pre-takeover, so next season they will look a lot better. Shame as I detest Brum after how they have acted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which the EFL agreed to halve to £20m if the billionaire owners agreed to inject £10m of equity and, when it was down to £10m after 5 years of payments, the QPR board tried to get written off by the EFL but failed. No club will ever be systematically hounded into near extinction by the EFL and "the football family" the way we were, ever again.

I'm going off what my Brum supporting mates have said, but they will lose a few high earners in the summer, people like Hogan, plus they have the money from naming rights coming in , but their main source of optimism is that they will be being run in a better way than the previous lot (How that tallies with getting Wayne in and then sacking him after a few months I don't know) RadioactiveWaste and Tamworthram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
