DarkFruitsRam7 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Sheer lunacy from their ownership. Surely they're completely done if they don't go up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nottingram Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Transfer fee is one thing but if you pay that much for a player there’s no way you aren’t talking £40k per week wages as well Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put in context, just the transfer fee is (off memory) roughly double our income for last season - with 30k most weeks. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the figures quoted (re BCFC) are the same as our £15m for ticketing, hospitality and sponsorship. Not sustainable.

Crewton Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It could be that getting promoted is the best thing that could happen, because then they'll come under much more stringent FFP rules and they'll need to get promoted straight off to avoid sanctions, though I agree that persistent failure to get promoted from league 1 would be utterly hilarious. Ultimately, it's grossly unfair to well run clubs in league 1 . I'm going to be rooting for the likes of Barnsley, Stockport and Peterborough for sure.

BCFC fans celebrating this should be cautious as this feels crazy. It's nothing like the Mel Morris situation, he gambled what he couldn't afford to, these sums are pocket money to the Birmingham owners and with the Lg1 rules the owners have to inject the cash into the club to cover the costs and not loan it, even if they chose to walk away from the club, they'd leave them in a fairly healthy state. Running costs would be high, but they would be able offload some players to cover those costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Has to be said, for the absolute fortune they've spent on players, their squad looks too good for League One but doesn't really look all that spectacular compared to some other Championship teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
