birch-chorley Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 1 hour ago, Spider said: Let's go back to basics for a bit How much does it cost to run/how much does BWFC take every year? Wages/Stadium/Matchday versus TV money/Matchday income/Commercials. Let's just look at it as a business. I don't know, but I'd say it would struggle to break even. It's just not an attractive business proposition. I think we did it about 200 pages back Broadly speaking, in League 1 the turnover barely covers overheads. I.e the Premier League / upper championship facilities are a burden - so the playing budget takes us into the red, requiring someone to put money in or bust In the championship we get an extra £5m Premier League loyalty payment, additional TV and gate receipts. We can live within our means at this level but will have a playing budget within the bottom half a dozen of the division Leaving us in limbo unable to survive and compete in either division It looks like Ken has gambled by overspending on shit players in an effort to avoid league 1 where he knew we would struggle to break even and we have run out of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is can you blame him for the gamble? It worked before, twice. Once those players turned to shite, the cracks could no longer be papered over with results and the tennis balls came out. What worries me most is looking around at other clubs finances. Even Hartlepool have someone covering their £28k a month losses. Covering being the operative word.

It’ll be reet I'd agree, it's just nuts that we're in a situation where nobody seems to want to touch us with a barge pole, and a large portion of our fans seem fairly apathetic to our plight. it's verging on disgraceful My main worry is that at some point a "big" club will go to the wall, and I think the league should actually let it happen, to teach everybody a lesson.......... I just worry its going to be us who they allow to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we can, however without someone willing to top up our income that’s League 1 level currently It would usually be championship but there are just too many other clubs getting topped up with extra income that are beyond us We need to find a way of living in League 1 without overheads taking too much of a chunk out of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
