Sold for 16m. Fair enough, can't turn that down.

Can someone please point me in the direction of how that's moved us forward this year though? :dunno:

If the only purpose in selling our best players is to cover a high wage bill created by signing tons of shit players, surely the answer is to stop signing tons of shit players instead? :dunno:

Are you new to the world of football, perchance ?

I like the idea that the recruiters are having a strategy meeting one day when someone suddenly says, “I know, why don’t we stop signing shit players?”. Everyone else: “That’s it! Why didn’t we think of this before? Now we know the secret there will be no stopping us”.

It's the same as them suddenly thinking "why didn't we think of flogging the likes of Hefele and that?!"

I am going to take this attitude to my next divisional strategy meeting.

I tell you, we will have invented flying cars by Christmas.

Shows how badly we've been run under EM so far.

Most of that loss is due to the wage bill.

True, but the only reason the smaller figure is not the same as the larger one is due to player sales. They are inevitable, whoever owns us and whatever the wage bill is.

If we pay wages within our budget (self-sustaining) we probably get relegated because the squad will be terrible. If we pay better wages, we lose millions and have to sell players to cover losses. It’s catch 22 til we get in the PL.

Our revenue is around 12th highest in the Championship, but most clubs overspend on wages, so even if we spent all of our £25m a year on wages we'd be expected to finish around 16th every season.

So yeah, maybe not favourites for relegation but certainly bottom half and battling relegation every season.

Financially we're in the same group as Sheff W, Boro, Birmingham, QPR, Reading, Bristol C & Derby. The latter pair bring in slightly more revenue than the rest, but are still in the same echelon.

I think that includes the £20m we had to settle with Fawaz.

The Cash money will be in the next year's acounts.

Yes, it's been a gradual process of relative decline since 1998 but accelerated in the past 10 years.

There are many contributory factors such as the huge increase in EPL tv revenue, parachute payments, being stuck in tier 2, the train wreck of the Fawaz years, little opportunity to expand commercial use of the CG etc etc
