Here's hoping that Bruce may somewhat change his style. I can't bare to watch Plan A of bombard the box with crosses with zero impetus/success. Maybe Elmo leaving would be a blessing in disguise.
Championship fixtures released on June 17th 2015. The 2015/16 Sky Bet Football League season will kick-off on the weekend of August 8/9 and conclude on the weekend of May 7/8, with the Play-Off Finals taking place over the traditional May Bank Holiday weekend. Roughly speaking, it looks like you have to win half your games and score over 70 goals - now that could be a problem. What's Jordan Rhodes up to? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table
We haven't had an £11m income for years, the lowest it's been was our promotion season, when it was £17m, the season before was £27m. Premier League TV revenue last year was £68m, that will drop by 43m this year(I cocked up the parachute amount in that previous post), but some of that will be pulled back with Championship TV revenue. That puts us about £40m down, but lower attendances and commercial revenue are likely to push it back up to closer to £50m.
Maybe so. It was a tweet from I dont know who but I only follow respected journalists and it was a quick skim on Sunday eve.
Not a chance of this. We will struggle to make the top 10 imo. We will probably lose most of out players.
Wonder how much it would take to get Gestede or Rhodes from Blackburn, 22 and 21 goals respectively this season.
They wouldn't sell to us last season - and so I don't think they will this. They will see us as promotion rivals and so would be reluctant to let their best players join us.
The £11 million quoted was our income excluding the parachute payments for the year ending July 2012.
The 2012/13 number is wrong then... Hull City 2012/13 - Turnover £17m, Wage bill £25.9m, Wages as percentage of turnover 152%, Loss £25.6m.
I think that includes the parachute payments and profit from player sales. Excluding those items the turnover was just over £11 million.
Whats abundantly clear is now more than ever we all need to renew our season passes. Parachute payments arent that massive, some of these lads are having their wages cut 20-25 grand a week. Think of their suffering, now more than ever we need to support these down on their luck Championship players.
