If you look at them the P&L is actually pretty good for a championship club, especially when you take out the "Southall element".
The balance sheet is awful. However it will will remain as such until the loans due to Roland are either written off or paid. It will look worse next year when another 11 million drops on as outstanding.
The argument that it shows that we shouldn't spend is nonsense. If anything it shows the exact opposite. Especially if you also view the previous years accounts. If we don't spend at all we will lose between 7 and 10 million in the coming season. And the season after. And the season after.
Anyone suggesting we aim for break even, in league 1, is either financially illiterate or an idiot.
The balance is spend just enough and spending it well. I honestly believe we are well placed to do this and the evidence backs it up.
These accounts don't really tell us anything we didn't already know nor do they prove that spending money to get out of league 1 ASAP is a bad idea.
Indeed. All sorts of rubbish gets talked about losses being lower in L1 or “we’re better off not getting promoted because we’re not ready”. The imperative is to get out as fast as possible.
Very much agreed. Though as a counterpoint it does also undermine the argument (by some) that Sandgaard isn't spending any money or investing at all. He's run up a lot of costs well outside of transfers etc.
Oh we should get these to carry the ball out at kick off for every home game lol
I did think that would be quite ironic if Thomas could get the match ball for the Chef Wednesday on the pitch this way, could be a good publicity stunt.
For a while he had the use of a couple of range rovers, a pad in Shad Thames, some large consultancy invoices paid and all the fizzy pop and crisps he needed on deadline day, all with no come back ? not sure calling him names will upset him that much

The Swiss Ramble thread includes tables of figures for the 2019/20 Championship clubs. A very interesting (and sobering) read.
