Monty Burns Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If you think for one second that anyone makes a healthy profit from a League 1 football club with average attendances barely scraping 4,500 then you are seriously misguided. I would love to see some "healthy profit" figures to back up your theory. Love it, just love it. Oh :censored:, I've come over all Keeganesque. Corney seems to be doing alright with his housing estates and hospital units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Losses are in brackets; (867877) (875562) (619639) (537846) (414006) (1523937) (784815) 7519 283725 450180 (4882258) Culmulative to 30th June 2014 Are these figures reliable? If so how have the club managed to make a profit for the last 3 seasons, that's some turn round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Are these figures reliable? If so how have the club managed to make a profit for the last 3 seasons, that's some turn round. Very basic answer but the early years include carrying old contracts from the previous regime and spending on squads with the likes of Wellens, Liddell and Whitaker in their primes (OK, but Ronnie was given money) with no money from the loss of Porter followed by lower salaries and some player sales plus cup runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Are these figures reliable? If so how have the club managed to make a profit for the last 3 seasons, that's some turn round. The figures are reliable as they were calculated for me from Companies House information as per the official Accounts submitted. There is a lot more detail on another thread relating to cup matches and player sales etc to explain how profits may have arisen in each period. The basic truth of the matter is that we are in fact a loss making enterprise-as are most Football League clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobOAFC Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Old contracts died with the old club! You mean the ones like Matty Appleby who we was paying £3,500 a week until 2005 and no doubt Chris Killen was on a relatively high salary considering he played 90 games for us and apparently ended up costing us £13,000 for each game he played in overall...

leeslover Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Old contracts died with the old club!As pointed out below, you are incorrect. No football club is allowed to retain it's League registration without paying all of what are considered to be, "football debts." This is why we and Leicester are old clubs but Accrington Stanley and Glasgow Rangers are new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected if that was the case, Mind you it couldnt have really been a major reason behind all those Losses for the first 7 years. I think that the real reason was that TTA had a belief in a long term plan for the club and were willing to make an Investment, which they are now unwilling to write off!

They certainly spent for promotion the first few years. I guess the rest is tied up in a lot of other things.

NewBlue Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Perhaps it's a reflection of his capabilities? If he's Conference then Cassidy must be Dog & Duck. Anyone with half a brain could see he's decent at this level. Strikes me as a Lockwood-esque move downwards.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOAFC Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Already played for two teams this season hasn't he? Don't think you can play for a third in the same season at league level.

nzlatic Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Disappointed about this as I thought he was the type of experienced striker we were missing. Maybe the budget went on Gerrard and we're only in the market for free loanees. Or Shez doesn't fancy him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Assuming Tranmere are paying the kind of wages we could we really should have been in for him. If he could score 5 in 9 under Dunn he'd at worst do the same under Shez and he'd have been our player with a good 2 or 3 years left in him (pace not part of his game).

PlayItLivo Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) I didn't realise he out scored Memphis Depay in the 2013/2014 season in Eridivisie. That's less than two years ago. It's bizarre that he's ended up as far down in the Conference. Edited February 10, 2016 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
