The definitive breakdown of Rovers financial position from Swiss Ramble. It doesn’t make pretty reading https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1417004830372122629.html

Crystal Palace in the cup; Barcelona in Europe…

The yellow kit is NOT our away kit…

…or Warren has a new wine supplier….

The CEO of a normally functioning club I would have expected

There is an argument to not reveal a weak hand until the last possible moment & given that the EFL allowed a deferral due to Covid Rovers might have feared predatory activity by other clubs if we revealed the numbers sooner than everyone else ? Might have impacted upon potential transfer income ? This is little more than a theory clearly…🤷‍♂️

I’m reminded of a time when my u15 team was awaiting delivery of a kit to a shop in Rochdale & got it on the morning of our 1st game. When unboxed pre-match, the stripes on the sleeves had been sewn on upside down 🤦‍♂️

I suspect it’s just luck of the draw as to what team wear Macron could get their hands on.

...& they may well be for all I know. 🤷‍♂️ Covid & Brexit has impacted upon loads of supply chains.

I’d guess the processing delay was at Companies House. I’d also guess that the separate profit & sustainabilty submission to the EFL was submitted at the same time & it is the outcome of that assessment that matters.

Depends how many of last season’s are unsold after the concourse sale 😉

We were in touch with his sister & we were all set to send him a Rovers shirt until the club stepped up. 😉 Our terrific sponsors The Terrace are sending him a BBD22 mug 👍🏻 His sister is overwhelmed with the generosity. Truly a heartwarming tale.

Link to a little thing I did with the folks at the Sheffield Utd podcast “The Shoreham View” if anyone has 20 minutes to kill…

The relativity of our income to other clubs isn’t the issue. The issue is the high proportion of our total income that our match day revenue represents….largely due to the piss poor merchandising/marketing throughout the Waggott era.

Indeed….perverse isn’t the word…

That’s easy, some clubs are more dependent upon matchday revenue than others. Some clubs earned more from TV than others. Some have better sponsorship deals. Some have better iFollow sales figures. Some pay lower wages. Covid has hit the industry, but not all clubs have the same business model. Some also have fully-functioning executive boards…
