And now for something completely different! Income last year was £137M ( Last trading accounts), £99M of this was wages, not my figures theirs, players wages were £52M of the remaining £47M was put down as other wages. Approximately 52% players 48% others? Anyone care to comment on the above?
Yep, that’s about it in a nutshell, until the money runs out of course, then we will be left to pick up the pieces.......
Did anyone except the clown think anything else, off course they are ripping us/the city/the club off, but we all knew this anyway. But, there was me thinking the players were the most important thing at the club, seems not. So we are trimming the amount we pay to players but not what we pay to none playing staff.
Only thing I can see happening today is Bony leaving. That depends though, on how much the board want rid. From secret agent 'The Man on the Beach', Galatasaray are trying to get us to give him to them for £0m. We've allegedly asked a £2M loan fee but they came back and said a loan is not an option but they'll take him off our hands for nothing to save us his wages. The interest from Besiktas is clouding things, they're hovering but haven't made any offers as of yet. Supposedly coming the other way is the youngster Dani Gomez, or Dani Gomez who when I mentioned him to Spanish associates. From what I glean he's a kid who up until very recently been on Real Madrids books as a development player. He's played in their development side as well as in Spanish lower leagues. Real recently upgraded his contract to a full one so his loan looks imminent. Whether he comes here though remains to be seen. If he does then hope he wont be another Renato Sanchez or Tammy Abraham. But if he doesn't come we could end up with only one, 9 toed striker, for the rest of the season (We can forget the January transfer window, we wont be signing anyone then either). Good to see that Potter is happy with the numbers he has in the squad. It will be interesting to see if he still feels that way at Christmas.
Dai, hate to be the one but you've been busted mate you can't own anyone. Now go put some clothes on before Matron catches you.
SKY SPORTS LATEST: We now go live to the Swansea City Transfer Centre...…………….. please log in to view this image
Does this mean that unless we add a couple of loan players in the next few hours Jerkins feels we don't have a fighting chance to compete until January at the earliest?
Well, we didn’t think much would happen and it looks as though we were correct. A fairly miserable day for Swansea fans. The safety net of the loan window has not been used. Dear me............... One positive, we still have Bony!!.....................
I did say some weeks back that the only signing we will make is the CB from Spurs, he’s a Yank of course.........
Isnt the Turkish transfer market still open, thought it was later than ours. So possibly still time for them to ship him out.
