Case number 36 on the list. New courtroom, new judge - exciting times 😁😁

I could’ve mentioned the Raya sell on too…

Acquisition details below - ultimately they paid £21 million for a business which was revalued at £35 million. They got a very good deal, and proceeded to completely fuck it up…

To add to my previous post. Our recent operating losses have been reasonably constant at around £17.5 million. £17.5 million x 3 = £52.5 million Allowable 3 year loss for FFP = £39 million player trading profit needed for compliance = £13.5 million Bare with me 😁😁 Venkys London accounts have player trading profit for 23/24 + 24/25 at a combined £36.8 million. Based on those ‘back of a fag packet’ workings, we could have a net transfer spend of circa £23.3 million this year and still be FFP compliant. That’s before you take into account the removal of exempt expenses such as ground maintenance (ha!). Clearly those figures won’t be bang on but hopefully it demonstrates how far from breaching FFP we currently are. Of course if we spent that much and didn’t go up it would come back to bite us (as the Wharton and Sammie money disappears from the calculations).

FFP is a rolling three year cycle. Wharton was sold during the 23-24 accounting period so 25-26 will be the last year to include his fee. Sammie was sold during the 24-25 accounting period so 26-27 will be the last year to include his.

We don’t even have to do that. During the winter window players can play whether they’re on the squad list or not:

They paid around £21 million. Within 18 months that sum was almost matched by profit on player sales.

I wonder if we filled this vacancy… https://irecruit.efl.com/popups/displayfile.aspx?StoredFilePathID=AQmvdpkZgAYNZ7wWGf93AQ

Give it a couple of years.

I read that as five Mowbrays 😁😁

You realise they’re just saying things to get a reaction?

One man’s nostalgia is another man’s history book 😄 I love hearing these stories 😀

Side boob Rao?

It’s a budget, it’s just not a championship one.

Made me think of Dr Seuss 😄

What are the 999,999 others?

Got Toth back in the team.

Stunning save by Gordon.

The reverse Wharton.

We’ve reached my level 😁😁

Especially when De Neve’s in shot.
