A: Income (gate receipts + TV revenue pool+ commercial etc)
B: Expenses (wages etc)
C: Profit / Loss
A-B=C
Sad to say, Venkys have been subsidising our loss for the tune of millions - for years.
More sadly, in the medium term, they need to stick around until we’re in a more elevated position that someone else finds it attractive to invest millions (hopefully) in a smaller loss making activity.
I dread to think of the alternative.
Up the Rovers!
