The wages must have a salary budget set each season now the club will know what they have to pay out unless they sign extra players through the season which will add to the wage bill this applies to all clubs so if we’re losing that amount of money each year someone is not doing their job and don’t forget lansdowns have invested £180 million so we CANT be losing that much :laugh:

Losses on what

I agree Tony , the bloke seems an honest player to me and I think he’ll give 100% for the shirt not saying he’s any messi but as you say we’ve had worse

We all know SL has been great for the club but we mustn’t forget he chose this position of his with a promise of prem football and let’s not forget he has invested £170 million in the club one way or another , most of which he still has his hands on ie 2 training grounds and a very large amount of shares in BCFC so he hasnt lost all this money and also let’s remember he is VERY rich guy so moving money around like this doesn’t really effect him ( £2.48 billion ) can someone tell me where the £125 million in transfer revenue has gone ( not interested in wages as every club has to fork them out ) as this is the balance of bought and sold in last 7 years I just can’t make head or tell

thanks for putting me straight can you also tell me where the £130 million transfer income has gone ( not interested in wages as every club has them to pay ) just a question as I can’t find any answers to this one ?

I do agree with this but when you watch mission Burnley on tv you do realise the need AT PRESENT of the parachute payments. Last season the 3 teams that came down spent £140 million obviously with some big contracts on board then the season before when Burnley were relegated the parachute payment of £50 million was a pittance compared to the 100million they lost in prem tv rights ( what a nightmare ) so I’m glad we’re not there but it would be nice to challenge and let’s hope fa find some level ground soon

Pardon me for not understanding that wages have been near on halved and 2 players that only cost us development costs were sold for £37 million pound . Now I’m not the one who said we never had to sell , that was our 2 billion pound owner so if we didn’t need to sell surely some of that money need re investing, I’m not saying all but you have to speculate to accumulate in my mind

Is this not setting a precedent to future applications in Bristol maybe not so big where by council application is in for build but told not too commence but hey fack council I’ll build anyway ?

Seem to be selling Crown Jewels then go shopping in Aldi with money accumulated . Don’t forget we reportedly have halved wages and last 2 players alone brought in est £37 million but it was stated we didn’t need to sell ????????

Really good watch as is the first 2 Newcastle episodes

Is there any dates for such a Q and A session but then SL or JON were not at last one in hen and chicken

Anyone watching Newcastle series or the Burnley series great watches and great to see owners and CEOs mixing with fans and speaking to fans also the millwall love for passed owner was great to see . Does anyone know who our owner is ? Or CEO

Imagine they were to build without permission and say **** the council and someone had a injury whilst no safety cert in place

But by by I’m sure you’ll miss me always found in bs3 just inside door before games if you’d like a conversation just ask for Steve maggs always willing to accommodate

Mate magger 1 is trying to sign off I can’t talk to tossers

Mate I assure you I’m here all the time

Of course not but we are the home side and a little entertainment is expected they had 6 of their 16 shots on target we had 0 , no don’t be such a stupid ***

As long as your happy with that as entertainment good on you

There’s nothing out there to improve my club , just 14 guys taking money for false pretence

I keep saying since 2017/18 up till now we’ve spent est £70 million and sold est £125 million so come on let’s have a go at it and buy some quality, there must be ways around ffp how do these other teams do it bonuses, signing on fees , pay to play appearance money , lansdowns can’t be stupid even loan deals that are done off piste

Thank you

As people are saying other teams have to work within ffp not just us and the argument about wages pisses me off , the owners know what championship wages are we’ve been in this league long enough, every team has to pay wages and we all know about parachute payments just get on with it

For all those happy clappers out there take heed , for the top brass to come out with a statement like that “ we cannot compete “ shows that they expect defeat , well us city fans have had years of that and are fed up to the back teeth with being served up SHIT week in week out , we sell the Crown Jewels and then invest in Lidl , if you keep buying league 1 or 2 players we become a league 1 or 2 team we need quality weather from abroad or here , one minute owners say we don’t have to sell , then cop £25 million but can’t invest ? Does that make sense , let’s please get some owners in that have the FOOTBALL CLUB in the forefront of their agenda and not just buying investments in properties ie training grounds and pushing 17 year old under developed youngsters onto the pitch

That was dog shit to all you on here who slatted me for saying we need a big mobile striker I hope you were there to watch that limp pathetic attempt to win a game “ no guts “ no bottle , no idea and bell through the middle is a disgrace again no shots on target Pearson you really haven’t got a clue , I thought Preston game was boring but ffs that takes the biscuit and for our manager and owner to come out and say we can’t compete is defeatist to say the least , lansdowns if you can’t compete get out of the kitchen as I see a Newcastle United Mike ashley situation developing
