Article in Sunday Express saying takeover imminent.....

Sorry if this has been already posted, but I just spotted this on BBC's website.http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39566143

 

Due to the fun we had last season, do we think that we are one of those 3 clubs?

With zero(ish) debt. Very much doubt ut.

Smurf was posting stuff about the company that ran the school jobby being dissolved.

 

There's clutching at straws and being a complete bell wash.

madness

 

What does that mean exactly?

 

Is it better to be at the top or bottom?

 

Are we deliberately blank?

no accounts filed, so no accurate info

Where do you reckon we'd be?

Second in div 1

For every £1 Notts Forest take they spend £1.66 on wages.

So you want to be at the bottom then

 

And anyone under 100% is doing a good job

 

Find it hard to beleive QPR are under 100% unless they have shifted all their deadwood from their PL jaunts

 

:lol: at Forest and derby who just can't get near the PL

From that table, both Burnley & Hull got promoted! Now that's good business.

No that's hindsight.

Currently I reckon we're nearer £1 take to £2 spend, might even be worse than that. It will improve massively next season.

What about all the money Eddie and Garty were pocketing?

I'd think one is definitely us. Hopefully get promoted reduce wage bill and we then become self financing.

 

Self financing. Nice idea, but we won't be able to stay in the championship very long using that sort of a model. Let alone challenge for promotion.

I think you're right, it might even be worse than that this season

 

At least a lot of the big earners are out of contract this time, although we will still be left with Amos, who I can't see playing for the club again

I've heard emmerdale want him back. That's what MR58 told me on Saturday

Better that than what we were facing this time last year, a genuine possibility of our club being liquidated.

There has to be a balance. Sensible investment matched by good management. Eddie Davies did this early on and it reaped rewards. It went wrong when we started chucking money around after average players. I don't think we can be self financing and compete. We are 2nd in this league and mainly down to players we couldn't afford to pay if we were self financing.

We started chucking cash about because of desperation about avoiding relegation. Understandable as I can think of no other business where your income will drop by 66% and your costs remain the same.

As mentioned above, it didn't do Burnley or Hull any harm.

Burnley had a parachute payment and spent £9M on Gray. So whilst they may have been self financing they were probably financially able to compete. 

 

Hull also had parachute payments. 

We just pissed all ours away on crap players and even worse managers.

 

Hired the wrong people. Simple as that.

Indeed, the parachute payments certainly skew things somewhat.

 

I'm surprised to see Leeds down at 59%, I don't know why, but I just expected them to be a lot higher

aye, thats what threw me at first

no accounts filed, so no accurate info

If a man can't see he can't fight.
