It will be much more now, because most of the £4-5m in TV money will have gone, and season ticket sales have fallen through the floor. We just won't find out until next March.eaststandmike said:
Sadly this sums me us as well, my first thought when I saw the figure was "I wish it was more", sad times indeed.Greenie said:I never thought that the day would come that if my club lost £13.5M it would make me happy.
Well that day has come, and that, Rat Man is failure. I hope it hurts!0 -
Our strategy for Charlton Athletic is that we are a financially stable club, who can be competitive in the Championship but has Premier League ambitions.

Roland doesn't do failure.

a lot was spent on ground improvements, re-laid pitch at the Valley, the training ground .. am I right in typing this ?0

A pack/bag of 12 vol-au-vents from Sainsbury's costs £2.
Just saying.2 -
Time to get this old chestnut out again!

Dear oh dear. In one way yes we are all a little bit happy he's taken such a hit financially, but it does highlight the need for a quick sale imo as you can be sure KR will no money in the summer at all, and that could really mean a real threat of relegation next season4

Imagine what's going to happen to the price of the Pomme frit (chips) now. Shame Roland my heart bleeds sweet nothing for you, only for CAFC. Go Now0

Hows that 1.5% looking Roland?4

Total staff costs (wages and salaries, social security and other pension costs) were 14.06 million (116% of 12.1 million turnover), so other costs would be about 11.6 million.SE10Addick said:Turnover increased from £11.8m to £12.1m. So basically, that season we spent £25.6 million!
14.06 million staff costs compares with 11.48 the previous year, an increase of 22.5%.2 -
What on earth is 'Premier League Productivity Data' .... is it their measure for the number of players we were priviliged to watch before they moved on to Premiership clubs as per KM's Dublin appearance?!3

Sonogo, Fanni, Motta, Yun, RoJo, Rhys Williams (but only for a month), Tex--who else am I missing?WSS said:"Increased football costs of nearly £4.0m spent primarily on player salaries and transfers as the club spent money in January to try and maintain Championship status"
Lolz.
I've said before that I don't think this is about money to Roland because we spent a fair amount in January (not all of it well, mind). I think it's about ego.
Looking at that list, Fanni and Motta were definitely quality players but both took a while to get fit. Tex was a very good addition, Yun decent, but it just sort of reeks of desperation and having no foresight or planning in place.3 -
Why not, they were all sold in the summer? Did we get no money up front? That seems really strange.RedChaser said:According to note 21 it would appear that none of the Harriott, Pope, Cousins and Gudmundson transfer fees were included in these latest financials and of course the Lookman and Fox fees definitely won't be until the current years financials are prepared on 30/6/17.
Whether these windfalls will have offset the ongoing monthly losses this season against the backdrop of lower gate receipts, TV money and sponsorship remains to be seen.
I should note there may be tax reasons for not including those sales in the '15-'16 books.

So the season-ticket boycott and the plummeting gates won't be shown until the next set of accounts. Hopefully Duchatalet will be long gone by the time we get to laugh at those.SE10Addick said:Turnover increased from £11.8m to £12.1m. So basically, that season we spent £25.6 million!

The accounts are due for March 31st, so the accounting year for the club ended 9 months prior - or June 30th.SDAddick said:

Weren't most of the sales done in July?1 -
If we in any other 'business' other than football we would have been shut down long ago. A financial shambles.MountsfieldPark said:Total debt now = £65.2 million.

If the loss rate is still the same, I take comfort in knowing that since this thread started an hour and 10 minutes ago, he has lost what an average U.K. person takes home per month.17

The incompetence is mind blowing and yet Meire remains. I can't see that total debt ever getting repaid in full.5

No worries, I had to look up the dates to try and work out exactly what was going on in that period anyway. There's a few bits that seem to defy explanation!SDAddick said:

@MountsfieldPark picked out an interesting bit though:
This may be relevant to trying to peice together some of the later decisions!MountsfieldPark said:"Since the year end the disposal of players' registrations has generated income of £6,057,000." (see note 21 on page 26).
