Smells of trying to raise funds but weren't able too, or trying to make space on the wage bill

Best thing about this win is ivorguy will crawl back under his rock until the next defeat where he can Stoke up more bile against the club

What is this nest egg, the club hasnt turned a profit once in 20 years

He's looking for new investment/buyer, to make us more attractive he will want to reduce overheads, plus he's probably sick of pumping in cash with little return

If wage budget is more then 80% of turnover then it rightly had to be reduced

Not really, we wouldn't have 4 points on the board without him

Thank god they aren't on coach 1 :?

When it's put like that, it makes me think k the Americans have it right in the mls *shudder* Wage limit except for 3 marquee signings per squad

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03230871/filing-history 20/21, 21/22 combine loss is over 60 million, Scots money doesn't even cover half of that

Seriously please read the accounts,

Turnstile money doesn't even cover the academy

The club has made a profit once in the last 20 years, that's where its gone, that as well as the ground redevelopment, wages that on average have been around 120% of turnover, buying players.....

That's where you are going wrong, lansdowns money isn't the clubs money, he doesn't have to put anything in, Also the speculate to accumulate, is that on top of the near 180 million he's already invested into the club and seen 0 return?, Until new investment comes into the club from a new owner or investor then we have to be self sufficient and not continue to lose close to 20 million a season

Good post, but the efl can do nothing about parachute payments, they are voted for and implemented by prem clubs, they won't get rid of them because it's a revenue stream for those relegated, It's just a different way of trying to keep the prem a closed shop

What money accumulated would that be, the club still is losing money hand over fist

It should be done imo, people won't like it but that and stand sponsorship are 2 revenue streams we are currently missing out on

I'm not a marketing or commercial expert, but I'm sure there are other things the club could do, though I trust that they are thinking of this already,

Or it could give us the next buffon, we just don't know, Not many teams have 2 senior keepers these days, they ether run with an understudy or a player towards the end of their career

O'leary isn't young any more ?

I think the money we got from Kelly and Webster has effected that, We had all that money and pissed it up against the wall causing us to get very close to ffp failure and points deductions, I think we've now become risk adverse, I think we should add a bit more to the budget personally

I think the answer isn't so much sacrificing a player, it's more increasing commercial revenue, That would of happened under Gould but sadly he got a better offer, This is where a CEO needs to earn their crust,

It's only pro rovers when decisions go against city, The council are pretty down the middle and have to apply the law

They won't get a safety cert unless it meets and is granted planning permission and building regs, The reason they are carrying is because they are tinpot and any delay will lead to increased costs

Consider we signed someone yesterday and about to sign another, how can you even say he hasn't been backed, That would make 6 players through the door, they didn't come free and the club is still losing 300k a week,

We all would, but I don't think we can afford too with our limited wage budget at the moment,
