    You made a statement that the club made a loss of £22 million while selling players for £34 million, you obviously did not just make a mistake, you did not understand the topic.

    From Nigel Pearson's first season 2020 -21 in charge the wage bill was £30.25m and this was cut by £6.4m by 2021-22 (wage bill £23.80m). The following season another £6m was saved. Amortisation on transfer fees saved over Pearson time was £20m. Add sales of players. Nothing to offset the losses? More nonsense.

    What player sales, I ask for the 3rd time. Maybe you don’t understand that?

    I thought the wage bill was cut due to contracts running their course.. didn’t see many sells!!

    Nor did I.
    I have an idea why there were no 'sells'.
    Do you ?

    The ‘buyers’ were waiting for contracts to run down (ie Palmer)?

    All of those were when LJ was manager, not Deano or Nige.
    Edit: Actually, I think Eliasson was sold when Dean Holden was manager.

    I must admit I don’t always read the whole thread - especially when recovering from Xmas festivities <cheers>
    We stocked the bar up with Guinness and Madri on draught - it was a blinder!!
    I need a serious detox now. Today is my last day I’m allowing myself a beer. I’m going dry from tomorrow until 6th Feb (with 2 exceptions for birthdays).

    I’ve been off work (Annual Leave) since December 19th and have also over indulged on the food and drink front, particularly on the drink
    Today is the last day of enjoying myself
    After that it’ll be back to drinking at weekends only
    Boring !! <cheers><cheers><cracker>

    I never used to be a part time drinker

    I was an all day every day drinker whenever possible, lager, Gin, Whisky, Wine etc, until I decided to change my ways

    It would be very easy to go back to it but I’m not going to

    I drink beer. Every day.
    Rarely any other alcohol - an occasional glass of wine with a meal maybe and an even rarer shot of spirits (3 times a year?)
    But I am very much a beer monster. I just love the stuff - it’s wonderful.
    I need to give my liver a break though - and prove to myself (and the wife) that I can do without it!!
    Desperately trying to finish off the rest of the 11 gallon keg of Guinness before midnight <ale>
