Re: The breaking News thread...
The latest collated figures I can find relate to the numbers in the Club's Accounts to the end June 2014 (we haven't submitted Accounts since then)..Lord Kangana wrote:So where does our wage budget now sit re the rest of the division (does this data even exist?)? And where our theoretical finishing position, based on financial wherewithal, should be?Worthy4England wrote:Each.Lord Kangana wrote:Each or collectively?
I'd be interested to see how tough a time of it Lennon has actually had (admittedly, finance doesn't automatically = position, but you get the crux).
I suspect there's an awful lot of overhang of wage budget through each manager Megson-Coyle-Freedman-Lennon (I exclude Lee as he appears, on the face of it, to have been given f*ck all) as each would have been promised to get some new blood in probably in exchange for agreeing over their tenure to reduce. I'm presuming that's a large part of why so many are out of contract this summer. Only the second half of the deal, "you can then reinvest in your own" is a little bit of an empty promise right now.
We reported in the press that we were nearer £16/£17m for year ended 2015 no idea if that's true or not and there have been suggestions that we're now heading towards £10/£11m currently...Nixon's figures are £6.8 with only half a squad, but I presume the most expensive half...

I suspect we are still around the 15M mark.

£10m he says. There is another £10m allegedly on "non-playing staff, services and so-called corporate costs"
Re: The breaking News thread...
to have dropped from £26.6million to £11million in 2 or 3 years is quite a decent stab at getting the wage bill down!

We were 16M as of September according to Iles at the time. I suppose we released a few but even then presumably we are still having to pay some of their wages.Worthy4England wrote:Not according to your mate Iles from a week ago...He couldn't be wrong could he?BWFC_Insane wrote:^^numbers in the accounts include the younger players and permanent reserves etc...

I make it Amos, Madine, Heskey, Osede, Dobbie + he renewed Pratley's contract - approx £60k per week for 6 players (if the numbers are true)

Assuming you can get over the hurdle of why anyone would want to own a football club, it's not that hard to see. If (and that's a big if) ED left us with £15m debt, that would be one of the lowest debt positions in the Championship. 16th out of 24. If he left us with £30m which is still lower than when he arrived, we'd still be in the bottom half...if it was only £7.5m we'd be in the bottom 5 debt positions...

Re: The breaking News thread...
Interesting.
Do we know what our current position is, or has the deal still to be finalised?

Re: The breaking News thread...
Bit difficult to tell really. As I understand it, the deal is complete and signed between us and SS, subject to FL ratification. What the actual figures are, I suspect might half surface in a couple of seasons...I don't believe there are ongoing negotiations between BWFC and SS.Lord Kangana wrote:Interesting.

So SS own us, any bills to pay are theirs, I'm not sure what any back-out position might look like, should SS not be able to convince the FL...I guess there's some sort of transfer back agreement.

Re: The breaking News thread...
I find it interesting that these wage figures are suddenly in the public domain. Feels like someone has an agenda.
I'd find it potentially off-putting as a player.

Re: The breaking News thread...
It's a share purchase agreement. I wouuld think it has a clause in it which states that it comes into operation once the FL ratification is complete. I would think until then we are still owned by ED.Worthy4England wrote:Bit difficult to tell really. As I understand it, the deal is complete and signed between us and SS, subject to FL ratification.

Re: The breaking News thread...
So it's a bit pointless passing judgement on ED's reign until such information is available then.
And it would offer a whole new perspective if he left us so relatively debt free. Despite the turmoil.

I'd normally agree, but I thought I'd read somewhere they'd actually enacted the transfer...which wouldn't make much sense...Lost Leopard Spot wrote:It's a share purchase agreement.

Re: The breaking News thread...
with that Sun article - surely a HELPFUL thing to do would have been to provide some context? Like we have had to do for ourselves - the wage bills of other lower-championship clubs... the wage bills of promotion-hopeful div.1 clubs...
lots of numbers look BIG without context - but to know if they are BIG or not - you need to see what's normal!! (like all those "Government spends £XXXXXmillion per day on YYYYYY!!!" - often SOUNDS big - but in the context of Govt. Spending and a nation to spend it on - it turns out to be not that big!)

Re: The breaking News thread...
I went to a lecture given by a guy (the head guy that is, from Cambridge Uni and everything) who compiles all the data for government. He said, in essence, that most of what you read in the papers is a load of old shite, as it's either the paper's agenda or the current stripe of government's agenda of very select data that you're reading. So there.

Indeed - unless you have the facts, you don't have the facts - you're just going off someone's interpretation of truths and half truths..and there's always an agenda even if it's fairly neutral...Lord Kangana wrote:I went to a lecture given by a guy (the head guy that is, from Cambridge Uni and everything) who compiles all the data for government.
