Venkys London Ltd - (BRFC immediate parent company) accounts year ending 31/3/25

[wilsdenrover]

Pre player trading loss £21.6 million, post player trading loss £7.7 million.

It’s been asked a million times but why won’t they sell?

As an aside, staff costs up £1.7 million…

The tax fiddle continues.

How on earth do wages keep going up with the culling that goes on at Ewood? Something stinks as usual 

[JHRover]

So wages up significantly and still hovering around the traditional annual loss figure despite everything they've done over the last 3-4 years to slash costs.

Either they're making a right mess of things and somehow still losing the same amounts now as they were before despite everything they've done.

Or there is something seriously dodgy going on.

Those accounts wont reflect anything post this summer where we jettisoned so many experienced players and replaced with cheap crap from inferior leagues.

[MarkBRFC]

Yeah I can believe wages went up a bit last summer as we bought in Cantwell, and a few experienced heads in Batth, Weimann & Baker.

There isn't a chance they could have gone up this summer when the next accounts are released.

Don't be too sure , nobody really knows , who is actually on the payroll !

[Tomphil2]

The good old never diminishing BRFC payroll lol

Wonder how many 'advisers' are on there.

I'll say one thing for V's they have some very clever accountants.

Will cover our "significant expenditure" (otherwise known as paying a ridiculous sum to Emmanuel Dennis) last January

Also contracts handed out to Cantwell, Bath, Weimann, maybe Bakers loan, etc under Eustace, probably all on more than our current self imposed wage limit

Why though, do I suspect that the next set of financials will show a very similar picture despite this summers cuts to the playing staff?
