Club accounts for last season are now available on Companies House: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04032392

I'll leave it for the accountants on here to analyse but the £20m loss looks more than expected, mostly because of "amounts payable upon promotion to the Premier League" which total over £10m (player bonuses, transfer add-ons etc.)?!

One thing to note is Allam took out a bank loan of £23m - would this be a bridging loan until the PL payment came through?
 
Did they give themselves another huge pay rise like they did when we got relegated?

No idea but the £78.4m had interest of £2.6m and the £77m plus £23m bank loan has £3.8m due. This suggests to me that the bank loan interest is about 5% which is much lower than it could be. Or I've read it wrong.

Edit: It could have been a 3 month loan at 20%? I've been out of the accounting game too long.
 
These accounts don't tell you anything without have a breakdown of the figures provided so I won't waste my time analysing them

Fair enough
I haven't read the accounts, and I wouldn't know what to look for in any non existent breakdown anyway. Also I have no accountancy experience either...but I'm prepared to give it a go if you won't

My analysis, with the caveats above, shows that it's about time that the Allams sold us to someone else

No need to thank me

Thank You Dennis and a clear and concise conclusion to your analysis

This is what relegation does to you.
 
Was this caused by a fat finger?

Is this why the pound's fallen to a thirty year low against the dollar?

Has it contributed to why ReAssure seem to be buying up every ****ing policy I possess?




You'll have to help me out here Peter, I'm useless with money.
