Oh well. If you can't be bothered, we'll just have to soldier on without you. Ho hum.
I'm sure you'll manage,i will pop along every now and then to see how you are getting along

Put enough people off going to gillingham ...the time spent travelling is not too different
It's disingenuous for him to be say we're losing £1million per month, and he's making a rod for his own back. When profits from player trading are added in that figure is drastically reduced. We have the Barnes / Bridcutt sales in 2013/14 and the Buckley / Ulloa sales in 2014/15, so when the accounts are published and the losses are single figures people will quite rightly remind him he said losses were bigger in order to justify sky-high prices now.
I don't think it's disingenuous to say that we're losing £1mm a month if that's what we are doing. We might have a kitty thanks to the sales of some players, but if we end October with £1mm less that we started October with that's a loss.
We aren't going to sell an Ulloa-a-like every summer so looking at the operational costs over a month matters far more for the future of the club than the overall numbers for what is undoubtedly an exceptional year.

Indeed and maybe that is all there is to it.There is a difference between total losses ( 1 million / month ) and FFP losses ( which are only part of the total loss ).
Infrastructure costs don't count towards FFP calculations.
As for the 1m per month, it probably is an approximation of the last set of accounts released - season 12/13. Either that or depreciation of the Amex and the Academy are now being factored in to the accounts, both of which are paid for, and neither of which count towards FFP.
Ok - I'm not professing to be an expert in how a professional football club is run but how on earth can we be losing £1 million a month when the amount of income that has been generated is huge and the money made from player sales is also massively outstripping the money we are spending.
Something appears to be not right with the financial side of things at the club at the moment and it appears people are choosing to keep quiet for various reasons, I don't know why but the more the supporters bury their heads in the sand and chose not to question the current board, the worse it will become.
Has BHA repaid any moolah to Tony Bloom, for the stadium? Big money up front to build, I would be wanting some return by now..
I wonder how the club would be standing now, if he hadn't stepped in.
Withdean is a thumbsdown scenario not a thumbsupAbout 150 million less debt and playing at withdean
We were told that the break even figure was budgeted at 15K. You have to wonder what is going on.
We seem happy to spunk money on expensive fancy infrastructure, furniture and fittings but harp on about FFP and losing 1m a month.
Seems to me we have prem spending levels off the pitch.
...It's no coincidence that we've narrowly come within the acceptable losses limit every year so far, but it certainly does help them to justify charging the prices they charge.

Why are you so confident that we won't become a selling club? Ulloa, Barnes, Bridcutt and Buckley have all been sold in the last year.
