And what exactly does all this shit mean, is it that our chairman is lying when he says we’re breaking even and running on only the money we generate?.

It means what it says.

In the promotion season you made an operating loss of over £4 million reduced to over £3m when positive transfer activity is accounted for

The directors were rewarded with a 30% pay rise - unless other directors were added to the board

Absolutely no idea what you’re going on about to be honest, it’s like you’re talking in riddles, did we make a loss or what. don’t come back saying shit like, you had £30 for tea and biscuits but you spent £60 so that’s an operating loss of £30 but you charged £1.50 per cup to visitors, and you had a lot of visitors.

You’re the one who’s been reading up on all this shite, so you know a lot more than me.
Put it simply, answer next question in yes or no, no bollox just yes or no.

When our chairman says we are running on only the money the club generates its self, and we are breaking even, his he lying ?.

 

[Barnsley]

Don’t you have an accounts thread every year on your forum, with a resident accountant explaining it to everyone

We have one every six months, but it’s only about Wensdeh failing to hand in theirs, none of this nonsense your mates spouting.

You made a loss of £3.4 million

Im quoting the official accounts on company house not what your chairman says in public

The difference between us and most other clubs is that the income we're generating has probably gone up rather than plummeted. We we're getting by on crowds of a few thousand, mostly season ticket holders, at St Andrews. We've sold the same number of season tickets this year, will probably be generating significantly more in ifollow passes this year than we would ticket sales last and we've had the TV money dwarfing what we've had before. The sky games alone will have covered O'Hare's wages for the season.

This. I’d imagine we have a heads up on when we’re going to be on tv before it’s announced. It’s totally plausible that we’ve used the Watford and Brentford money to pay for James.

id not be surprised if we’re paying him 15k a week. that works out at roughly 300k. Robins has earned the trust to say that signing would get us over the line, and next season we’ll earn another 10 or so million.

Risk though considering we aren’t even safe yet.

It is. But that’s on Joy. She trusts Robins - I’d imagine that promotion itself has kept us running for another year or so, and after Robins has done what he’s done. I’d imagine Joy thinks he’s worth it

Also if you’re cynical - you’ve got the imminent windfall of selling Hamer no matter what league we’re in

We would be in an even better position if wonderful Joy stopped being a stubborn prat, got off her arse and sorted the Ricoh issue out, at the moment there’s only a year left at St.Andrews

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Just looked through remaining games and being pessimistic I think we will end up 45 which might well still be enough.

More than just her but she is a key player

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

5 wins will do it I think

Nottingham Forest (tomorrow)
Rotherham
Luton
Wycombe
QPR

Look like winnable games for me. Plus we still have Godden, Walker, Dabo to come back.

We will be fine this season

No panic playing better at st Andrews and we don't have any stadium maintenance costs

Of course there is panic - once crowds return we are losing millions of match revenue every game we play there

The scale of the “opportunity cost” for the club renting a stadium is greater at St A than Ricoh, but that assumes the contracts terms are identical. Due to assumptions that we would have increased attendances.

It’s obvious that until we own a stadium, we can’t maximise revenue streams. The issue is that I can’t see any serious investment being realised to make this a reality. It would need a long term commitment from owners.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I think Sheff Wed have just put another nail on their relegation coffin, as they've not paid their players in full - again. Their fans are not happy about the shenanigans

How many times do they have to take the piss before those 6 points come back off

If ive told you once ive told you a million times, stop exaggerating
an extra 10000 tickets @ £20 is not millions per game

Yes

I have no doubt we'd average more than before in the championship at the Ricoh, alot of younger fans not seen us at this level, our student population grows and grows and a long time away from watching matches all point to pretty good home averages in Coventry... I'd imagine every week between 17 and 23 thousand and more on big matches


We must get back

It's 4.5 million over 23 games give or take... That's a huge chunk if not all of the current wage bill, it would effectively change how We can operate.

Then ofcourse there is the extra F&B and parking if we can negotiate a slice

Add to that the 7-10 mill a season received for playing at this level

 

[Barnsley]

We’ll never be allowed back in stadiums on mass, as soon as we start mixing again infection rate will go up, so they’ll do what they’ve done for the past 10 months, and restrict our movements, this is our way of life now forever.

I dont believe that at all... You only have to look at the concerts etc in new Zealand to realise eventually things will be normal again

It isn’t going to be like this forever. The double jabs will have been given to the 9 groups some time before the new season and we have the capacity and orders for more if any potent variants arise.

Fuck the Covid Shit Barnsley.

Surely there’s been a meltdown on your board after you broke the ‘news’ (god knows why you haven’t got at least one person that reads your clubs accounts btw!) that your chairman was lying & in 2019 you had an operating loss of nearly 4m AND he awarded himself and his directors a 30% pay rise!!!!

It doesn’t surprise us lot on here but maybe your supporters should wise up a bit to the fact that your owners aren’t quite the knights in shining armour that they purport to be.

Not going to be an issue this season. There will be no fans at matches this season.
I believe we will start next season back at the Ricoh.
