Turnover up to £320m from £250m Commercial revenue up another £40m matchday revenue up £12m Tv revenue down £11m staff costs to turnover 68%
Once apt2 goes our the window this kind of **** will go out the window. Fans talking about staff cost percentage rules ! I mean, for **** sake.
It’s an important metric for us going forward in the PL and Europe: in fact it’s even more important in Europe.
That’s because we where owned by Ashley and we where no where near Europe or breaking FFP rules. He ran a tight ship did Ashley.
Which gives you an idea how the low wages were, considering the revenue was also low. Was pretty much the first thing Ashley did when he came in, and got rid of all the high salaries from the Sheppard era.
Every fan and club are now. It’s just what it is. In an ideal world we would not be talking about it.
People have always spoken about it, especially if their club is in financial problems. Plus it shows the wage levels and how much the club is paying players which is always interesting to see.
Nobody ever used to talk about XG either (boils my piss) but here we ****ing are ! Sad world that we live in now sadly.
Eugh Finance talk The only thing I hate more than football Finance talk is people worshipping DOFs or chairmen. Suits who just manipulate the game to earn as much money as humanly possible Where's the days of Robson, Clough etc calling people gobshites
