When they played at the Boleyn yes very much a similar size. Fair point. I could have used a number of clubs to make my point such as Crystal Palace which has a market value of around 800m.

I understand that lower Championship is not for you . What concerns me is that kids are saturated with images of the worlds top players and won’t give a fig about the “Bread and butter” , EFL . I have supported Derby County for over 50 years and been a season ticket holder for most of those years. Derby County is the only club I am interested in and want the club to ‘complete’ at the highest level. I don’t make any apologies for that. Unfortunately these days that takes a lot of money.

I could only speculate as to why you're offended on behalf of these unspecified fans, so I won't.

Ghost of Clough Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 3 hours ago, Tamworthram said: Villa are an interesting case and I don't profess to understand it. For the year ending May 2023 they made a staggering loss of £116m. Their accounts includes amounts owed to/by the group in both debtors (£206m) and creditors (£219m). Their staff costs are quoted as "only" £9m which I assume can't include players wages. 🤷♀️ Wromg set of accounts. Look at NSWE Sports Limited instead. £55.3m loss on a £217.7m turnover, mainly due to £194.2m staff costs Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Derby have never been a similar size to West Ham. We're a similar size club to West Brom, Norwich and Coventry City. Not West Ham who are and always have been a top 10 sized club in this country. Foreveram, Premier ram, Carnero and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
