It's the nobby Europa Conference League, just in case anybody is getting it mixed up with the more prestigious Europa League

 

I think the place in the UECL for the EFL Trophy winners was withdrawn in 2020 - so no euro jolly for us.

As part of the agreement signed when they bought the club, Football Ventures paid out £2.75m to the Eddie Davies Trust Fund, and another £250,000 after promotion to League One. The accounts note that the Trust also wrote off the remaining £2.75m.

 

Got to respect them for that. 🙏

The £95 per £100 is a bit of a red herring (and undoubtedly a bit of clickbait on Maguire’s behalf) as the figures he’s used are only for the football side so don’t actually include the income from F&B, Hotel etc so the overall wage percentage is lower. 

Some references along those lines in further tweets.

Begs the question as to whether the "sustainable" model allows the hotel business to suplement the football side of things, or whether the football is meant to stand on its own in the future. 

Have you any ideas in that regard?

For as long as the club (read FV) are the owners of the hotel then I think the idea is very much that it is used as a source of income to underwrite the football side of things. In a similar vein to when FV were determined to bring the F&B operation back in-house so that ultimately it is back in their control in terms of the quality of service and ultimately it all adds to the bottom line.

Makes sense.

Always a risk I suppose, but you can understand the determination to keep up good standards at the hotel etc.

Bloody hope not with the way they’ve been disappearing!

(Probably worth mentioning at this juncture that the owners at Hibs in the late 80s tried to “diversify the business” by buying a load of pubs and restaurants in London that subsequently went bump and nearly ended up in a merger with Hearts!)

Yes I think FV have seen something of the original vision that it would be an asset to the club, otherwise what’s the point in it, I suppose.

Iles seems to view our financial situation as steady , taking into account the hotel business etc.

Custard will be along soon to give us the extrapolated version .

hopefully not .

 

 

 

Marc Iles is no more aware of the goings on inside the club than any of us.

The fat fucking retard

One of the ben mongs reckoned the much heralded link with the hotel chain fell through

Each passing day, he seems more likely to be corrected

If these accounts are covid times, when did we sell a bit to the govt?

There was an article/statement (think it was Sharon) at the time talking about the covid money.

It was linked to on here, on some thread or other, and it was explained quite well.

It has gone again now iirc.
