That particular existence is hanging by a thread and it’s just semantics isn’t it. They’re in an awful state. Worse than ours. In the past when the club wasn’t paying its tax it was debated whether we would even be allowed into admin. So keeping those wolves from the door is important too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 How Alonso doing with the Derby buy out? If he's genuine it shows there will be interest in Wednesday He was interested and probably knew the financial ins and outs as well as most It shows there would be interest It's the bloody starting over again I don't look forward to I simply in all honesty cant see Chansiri and whoever's is around him getting it right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident that someone will buy them I think now lockdown has been eased and football clubs can return to normal that investors will be looking to pick up clubs on the cheap and make money out of making them tick Wigan will be no different Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you what happened when they stopped funding it and the bank they were loaning from didn’t want to play any more and tax wasn’t paid. Whats your point? That because it applies everywhere we shouldn’t worry if the funding is pulled suddenly and we are open to all sorts on admin? Surely whatever happens a smoother transition and sale has to be what everyone wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Mr Chansiri, we all believe in you, keep up the good work. Exciting times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 160% wages to turnover is an absolutely ridiculous way to run a business - and there's only one man to blame for that. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Lincs Owl said: Those accounts are for 2018-19. Forestieri, Fletcher, Nuhiu, Winall, Fox and others were with us throughout 2019-20 so I expect the next set will be even worse. I'd expect the next accounts to show another big loss, but maybe not quite as big as this one. We sold Joao (when Chansiri actually realised that you do need to sell players to survive), and we got some more high earners like Hooper, Jones, Abdi, Boyd and Matias off the books in the summer of 2019. The Joao sale wouldn't actually be as big as the £6.5m compo payment on the 18/19 accounts though, but those wages would be a significant saving albeit not enough to get us in the black.

cbirks Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yep, paying rent on the stadium. I know this is the axe I keep grinding, but hopefully now we can put to bed the notion on here that selling Hillsborough was just an profitability workaround. Hopefully it's a wake up call to the more than 50% of us that didn't think the ground sale wasn't an issue. We have no home. We have no property. We are a loss-making enterprise without any tangible assets. Someone buying SWFC will not save us. Favourably getting Hillsborough off 'Sheffield 3' is the only way to save us, else 'Sheffield 3' will bleed us dry or just turf us out for a property development. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand owl Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So to be in trouble again with EFL, we need to post losses for 19-20 that are around 3 million worse than 16-17. That just isn't going to happen is it? The wage bill in 19-20 was healthier than 16-17 and we sold Joao. I can't see a scenario where we breach again when the next accounts are out, unless I'm missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
