More importantly I liked his attitude yesterday, gone the flailing arms and the joy on his face when we scored seemed to show he's bought into it.
Allahyar was a favor to Fener to let them avoid financial limits they are enforced, if you really thought making money from him... Well you must be naive. Zorya did not use 3M option, before he was loaned to us, then sold.
There was talk at the time that we were trying to get the buy obligation from Leverkusen set aside in the event we were relegated so that we could play him and not worry. They refused so they clearly didn't think they'd be able to get more money for him elsewhere. I'd prefer to keep him as I think he can develop under the right guidance and in a more settled environment.
I like him,I think he's a decent little player,decent skills and he's not afraid to get stuck in to a challenge.Not sure if he wants to stay(that was the word going around prior to pre-season) but all up in the air at the moment anyway. Wonder what sort of coin he's on?
Giles has looked a bit more up for it in pre-season, maybe now his options are just to just us, we'll see the best of him. At least we now know we find out our fate when our appeal is heard next week.
All clubs are. Championship clubs made more money in revenue in 2022-23 than they spent on wages for the first time in six years, Deloitte said in its annual report on football finances. A total revenue of £749m was a 10% increase for clubs in English football's second tier from the previous year. It was the fifth most attended league in Europe, with its cumulative attendance of about 10 million putting it behind only the Premier League, Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A and La Liga in Spain. Despite this, no single club generated an overall profit before player trading, with the league recording an overall loss of £316m, the report said.
The warning signs are starting to rear their head on a more regular basis... Sheff Weds have problems,we've hit a snag,how long before there's a literal avalanche of Clubs accruing debt they can't afford to service?
On this thread and now in the transfers thread are posters still so thick as **** they don’t think there’s a problem and we are been picked on?? **** me
Wages to turnover doesn't seem to represent our situation,weren't we way above that? Of course I could be wrong and I'm sure I'll be rapidly corrected if so
I know bugger all about accounts but I think black is good and red is bad. Perhaps a proper accountant can confirm?
We are been picked on, Acun has been skirting his way around spending rules and the EFL hate it. They are out for him. Why do you think they are dragging their heels over the appeal?
Not sure anyone has said that, but as has been said by a few for a long time the football finances are in a mess. Even including the Premier league only a handful of clubs are making any profit and tiny ones at that. Some get lucky and unearth a gem which gives a short term boost but in the long run something has to change. Then we come to the governing bodies which are hopeless from top to bottom. Fifa, UAFA and the FA all make stupid decisions with little concern for the fans and the game itself. Money comes first and foremost, their money. If any club gets into a hole what good is a transfer embargo, especially when any appeal or amendments take months for them to agree on. Fit and Fair owner checks, you're having a laugh. They gave away the first division when now you get £150 million for coming last and dropping into the championship where losses are restricted to 15 million ish a year. The FA give relative pennies to the FA Cup, hold playoff finals at Wembley so they get income to pay off the stadium but on occasions it cost more for the team to go there than their earnings. The live real game of football is near to been ****ed completely, whereas the TV game is where the money is. Another example of trickle down economics not working.
Acuns written everything in Turkish and it's hard to get hold of a decent Turkish-English translators these days?
Kieran Maguire has long stated that we continue to rely on the owner funding us, he said the same under Allam, and as long he continues to fund us we're ok. At the minute it seems like he's spinning plates and keeping them in the air, hopefully the tax and VAT plate is still spinning. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
