With £150m income and £50m loss, obviously cost £200m to run the club for a year. Has anybody got the running cost for same period at similar size clubs like Burnley, Southampton,Palace and any others. I would be amazed if anywhere near ours. Seems loss has been blamed on lack of crowds but if we had, had full house every game say with total income of £20m ish we would still have lost £25/30m
[Albion] Albion accounts 2020/21 [Loss reduced to £53.4m from £67.2m ]

No you’re right but no industry compares to football. But Tony Bloom sets the playing budget and agrees to offset it so not really Paul’s fault. I imagine his bonus based on the commercial side of the business as that is within his control
Incredible that Tony can shrug off £120 million over two years. Running a business that has net liabilities of £174 million.
Of note is directors pay approx £2.5million. Highest paid director got just over 2 million. Presumably Barber as would be pointless Tony paying himself !!

Particularly when it’s probably less than what Jurgan Locadia is on.

£10 match day admin fee for those leaving early would balance this in a few years, when’s the next Fans Forum?
Appreciate that but PB cant get much credit for the £120m TV income

Southampton have lost £23m and £76m in last two seasons, so be amazed

Not sure how seriously I can take data that includes Huddersfield in the premier League?? !!!
This.
FFS.
What is it people don't understand? If you want rip-roaring entertainment guaranteed from minute 1, try WWE/WWF, cage fighting, bare knuckle fighting in the car park at the back of Tesco, even....
If you want your home town club to make you proud.....look no farther than Mr Bloom and his VISION.
But if you don't mind who pays the bills, how much drenched deep in whoever's blood, or whatever, feel free to **** off to Tyneside. Or just **** off in general.

I think Matt Clarke will be sold. Two years in the Championship and I think he has found his level, so to with Ostigard as I think he will stay in Italy but not necessary with Genoa.
What the Van Hecke looks the best prospect to replace Duffy or possibly if funds allow Joe Rodon added as well from Spuds.
if Trossard goes surly Sarmiento will get his chance to stake a permanent claim and assuming if BASS goes then Mwepu will be first choice with Moises Caicedo as his understudy, the only worry there is that Mwepu seems injury prone so it could be a baptism of fire for the young Ecuadorian. The others I haven't a clue but I liked the work rate in the high press of zeqiri so whether he gets another chance we will see.

Wasn’t the £50 million being paid over three years? 20, 20 and 10?

Because they were, and the the data always lags a year and I said it needed updating for recent accounts.
Thanks. WRT the doom-clangers, my bed stays dry till you post that all is now lost.
If some on NSC ran BHA's finances we would have long since downsized to being a small guest house in Worthing, accepting only members of the Royal family, when open (between the twelftieth and umptyfirst of Never).

Usually the fee is paid out over the course of the contract. He signed for them for 5 years, so presumably we'll be trousering £10m/year from them.
I'd assume this kind of deal does NOT apply to CPFC2010 though. It would be foolish in the extreme not to get as much of the transfer fee front-loaded when dealing with the spivs.

The 50m will all go into 21/22 accounts. You’re thinking of amortisation when the value of an asset - in this case a player’s contract - decreases every year.
Wasnt it rumoured that part of the negotiations were slow because Brighton wanted all the money immediatly?
Might have dreamed this but.. though it would have made 100% sense considering the crazy inflation.

No, I'm aware of amortisation and the difference.
I'd been under the (mistaken) assumption for a long time that transfers fees are paid in full, up front. They are not.
This is why, when a club goes into administration, you often see a lot of "football debts" owed to other football clubs, which (after HMRC), are prioritised if/when funds become available.
There may be variations on deals depending on various factors (who's dealing with who, desperation of the buying/selling club etc), but it is quite standard for the transfer fee to be paid over the course of the players contract.
