newcastle got 54.2 million £s off sky taking an average of 50,000 gate x an average of about £30 x 19 gamesthis =18.5 mill £ totalling a knats bollock off 73 mill £ ,plus a few pies n pints n shirts i thinks mikes done ok lets see how much we "lost" 2011/2012
Bear in mind we got £47.5m Sky revenue last season. It's not as if we've suddenly come into the money.
i would of said 20 quid average with the amount of kids who have season tickets which are 100 quid each, brings it down alot. But baring in mind do the box's count as seats?
54 million pays the years wages. 1 million per game pays the staffing/running of the stadium. Theres no real money in the retail side of things when you consider the cost of running the stores (hence the closure of monument) vs customer base. So profits come from sponsorship and what remains from match day revenue. Then factor in the cost of away games. Going off last years figures I think were on course for a break even season.
http://www.nufc-finances.org.uk/ This is the only info I could find but it's very dated now. The Sky money has increased even more - turnover was still over £90m in 2008! From what I can see, in 2008, our Commercial income was £25-£30m Money from Sky/Media was £40m and matchday income was between £30-£35m per season. The wages are horrific! In 2001 the wage budget being paid out was £26.9m In 2008 it had rocketed to £70m!!!
If match day income is around the 35 million mark for a season then the average ticket price has to be over £20; otherwise each fan spends around £20 per game in the stadium too. I thought only Man U got over £1m a game from ticket sales in a 75k stadium. Commercial income must be sponsorships beyond kit and main sponsor. I.E. match ball sponsor and advertising hoardings etc. Still seems high considering the Northern Rock deal was rumoured to be 10 million for 4 years and paid up front to get owen.
hadn't someone put a link up with wages on tother day and ours was at $55m which would be £34m, rumoured to be half it was at relegation (c£70m) this would about right. so going on mag le rue's estimations we'd be making a profit.
£34m for wages seems low in comparison to our past and other clubs. Sure it was meant to be a $ figure? Though divide 34 million on a squad of 20 players they would have an average wage around 32k a week.
34m is nowt compared to some of the bigger clubs Some Man City players earn 12m-13m a year by themselves.
Money money money eh. The club made a 32.4m profit last year didn't it? I don't really give two hoots what money we have, what money we earn, what money we spend etc. As long as we're moving in the right direction, if we can do it on the cheap and make Mike a profit to pay off the debt then its all good for me.
Yeah deffo, it was done by an american firm/site and included all teams, i.e. baseball, NFL etc. we were 55th or summit, a few behind the mackems, bolton and west ham if I remember correctly! **edit** Apologies, we're at #127 http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/7850531/espn-magazine-sportingintelligence-global-salary-survey-espn-magazine
Yeah I put that up. we'll be losing Smith and hopefully Xisco which means 100k in wages a week is freed up, that will be put on another 3 players - looking at who we've managed to sign whilst still lowering our wages, I think £30k a week would bring in decent ones as well! As long as we have another decent year (top 10 and a reasonable cup run would be acceptable, Europe again and it'd be amazing!) then I can't see us NOT breaking even and wouldn't have a problem with Ashley taking back some of his loan. At the end of the day, I can't see how we'll be able to better Chelsea and probably Liverpool again. Spurs and Arsenal have CL money and know where needs to be strengthened so I'd say they'd be ahead of us too. Still, we did it this season, so why not?
