So according to this the club have made a huge profit over the last few years? Think this must exclude the ongoign running costs of the club; it does a very good job actually of showing why Cov have been such a "selling" club - weed out the best players at a profit to keep the roof on,.

Just look at Juke, Best, Fox, Dann, Tabb is you needed any more proof than that in the recent era.

It only includes transfers but managed properly we should not be in the situation were in today.

These figures are not even close to accurate.

What's their source?

It's well reported that Dann and Fox were over a million together for a start and Best was way more than that.

Did everyone see the CT figures on Lukas today? They say we signed him from Everton for 100k rising to 300k, and he went from somewhere between 1.5m and 2.25, with Evertons sell on fee being a meagre 10%. That's a profit of over a million in 18 months; in terms of money in the bank, it's around 1.5m; if we are losing 300k per month, that keeps SISU here for at least another 5 months. And that's before they sell Sammy!

It also makes the claims that-

a) We owed Everton money, and
b) Thorn won't see any as it's mostly going to Everton as a sell-on

-utterly wide of the mark.

Salary costs have been considerably more than transfer fees paid or received in the past few years.

I dont believe the figures the CT published today. The wage seemed pretty reasonable, and probably explains why SISU were happy to sell (£7k)

I believe the 100-300k fee +10% was what we paid; it's what was said at the time and what Eakin has constantly alluded to; how much we paid for him has been gradually increasing based on nothing other than fan talk and a bit of spin, possibly by RR, to make it sound like we had spent big. No way were SISU splashing out 500k on an unproven reserve striker by last summer. Don't forget, Lukas was pretty raw when we signed him; many said he wasn't up to Championship class. His transformation under Thorn was akin to that of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Only, like, more manly 'cos it's football. Grrr.

We seem to have bought a fair amount of players for 88 k.... as for McPake, he signed a pre contract agreement with us, we then paid a nominal fee to bring him here early, I very much doubt 308 k was the correct figure.

It was very widely reported as 50K.

Of course but add money from tv rights, parachute payment and moderate revenue from other streams and its interesting to see.

Or just look at the accounts and see we are losing £7m a year after player sales. Unless you are accusing SISU of fraud?

I'll accept incompetent, but not criminal.

Are these figures really believable? We spent half a million on Carl Baker! Even more on David Bell? Keogh for under £100,000? So Baker and Bell's combined market value was 10 times that of Keogh? Mmmmm

Baker was 150k; Bell 300-450k; Sammy 500-700k; Keogh was "nominal", which usually means under 100k-wasn't he out of contract but under 24, and we settled on a fee as Carlisle thought they'd get less at tribunal? As with Dunn this summer?

Maybe SISU are geniuses for getting them on long contracts after all?

I can believe the Bell figure, and Baker was on fire when we signed him. As stated already, Keogh was a tribunal fee, and as we've seen they rarely are an accurate judge of a player's value.

I'm not saying the figures are dead-on accurate by any stretch-but I reckon they give a decent ball park figure for our ins and outs over the last few seasons; the wildly crazy figure I'd dispute is £20m for Keane in 2000!

It does seem like someone's tipped the telegraph off about the jukes transfer details.

A lot of the transfer fees are heavily influenced by the length of time remaining on contracts and what their wage, especially when the selling club doesn't particularly need/want to sell them.

just a question............... Note 20 of the 2010 CCFC ltd accounts states

"since the year end the company has signed transfer agreements under which a minimum net sum of £986,400 was payable" Who was that for ?

I thought the only players we paid for were Juke & Platt that summer but i could be wrong. It could be agents fees in part I suppose - wont really get a better idea until we get the 2011 accounts I suppose

Keogh as well...

Other than that we got King, Carsley, Sheffers, O'Donovan and O'Halloran in on frees.

The club at one stage owed £69m. It owed about £24m when SISU took over. ie £45m had been paid back.
