AtkinsonsBarmyArmy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just-visiting, I would say that sheffield is a true footballing city. Wouldn't you? The birth place of football. The oldest football club in the world (All be it a semi-pro club). The oldest football ground in the world. (Sandygate-Hallam f.c.). Real madrid and inter milan have sent teams over in the last few years to play against the oldest club in the world. The oldest derby in the world. Sheffield f.c. -v- hallam. Sheffield wednesday in the top 3 of oldest clubs. Plus even though I don't want to even mention there name. Our scummy neighbours from across the city are one of the founding members of the football league. Some of the members of sheffield f.c. include, leonart johansen ( uefa president) sven goran erikson, amongst many others. So if you want to thank anyone for the beautiful game you watch (may be not so beautiful at elland rd at moment) Then thank a true footballing city. Sheffield!!!

just visiting Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Barring the World Cup winning goalkeeper of England of course? Ps you're fùcked....absolutely buggered, 17k, forward sold income, spiralling costs. Keep smiling 6-0 You may want to keep an eye on developements at S6 very soon. From what I've heard last night, and this was from an Owls fan and someone well connected at the WRCFA, your last five home games, all in March, have failed to generate enough income to cover wages and other operating expenses. The club needs investment urgently, looks like we're both knackered. Edited April 3, 2014 by just visiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Wednesday make a loss every season, if we relied on Matchday income we'd be done for, Milan has been covering the cost. He may be sick of doing so but it's hardly in his interest to pull the plug on himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just visiting Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I smell bullshit...... It might be, but he'd no reason to lie, I was speaking to him about LUFC's finances, he brought up SWFC. You had five home games in March that had less than 5,000 average walk ups per game probably clearing £500k when it should of been a bumper month with a much higher income. You've only three home games left this season and the debts are mounting up. With little other income and a monthly wage bill alone of £1m, he's probably right.

latemodelchild Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Is our monthly wage bill a million quid then? Always thought we had one of the lower wage bills in the league, single figures anyway. Surprised its that high. What must other clubs be running at? Us and Leeds get higher crowds than most. Other clubs must be running at huge losses too cos there's no way we have got the highest wage bill. Ok, some have parachute payments etc but we are well within ffp limits even if we are running at a loss. Shame the ffp sanctions will be weak and toothless cos we could have taken advantage next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corneliusreeve Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 And folk think I'm a cúnt. :danny-wilson: :tango: I quite like you Whitey, and wouldn't mind you staying up this year, but you'll probably have to catch Brum or hope Weeds go t1ts up.

Orlando_Trustful Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As if our wage bill is £1 million per month, most of our squad are on around 5k a week. There's no way we're near that total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Our wage bill was 10m last season so it's probably gone up this year with all the loans. At least stayed the same. I just think that despite losses it's not in Milan's interests to trigger a Leeds type scenario Edited April 3, 2014 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sure your a SWFC fan? Your wages and salaries last season were £11.9m, even with my limited maths that's £1m a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which parts don't you believe? I don't believe any of what you put. And I find the timing of your post convienent. Because the problems at your club are being discussed. You always seem so keen to give your expert opinion on our finances, you did earlier in the season and look at your own club now. Throwingn stones and all that. And I'm not the one making digs am I?

Two midweek games against sides that brought 400 each, of course income would be down HOWEVER we haven't forward sold our income so it's not quite panic stations, is cash flow tight? maybe. Our average is around 3k down on last year and at our average cost per game (£11) that's 650k for the year. Our away average at Hillsborough is down 500 so effectively we've 'lost' 2,500 home fans per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, 1) you can believe what you want, 2) my post was a relevant reply to BoaM's "Ps you're fùcked....absolutely buggered, 17k, forward sold income, spiralling costs." comment. 3) they are not my "expert opinions on your finances".
