[El Presidente]

That's what he's brought to Palace.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Enough of you and your footballing nonsense [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION], we saved thruppence on FFP. Rejoice! Rejoice!

 

[SDG]

Lowest wage bill in the PL by £3m last season. Finished 11th.

Good achievement.

Suggested alternative Albion marketing slogan for next season: 'Never Mind The Quality, Count The Beans'

Thanks Gus

Probably one of the best run clubs in the English football pyramid

That said, the 2p in the pound club must look at these accounts and sigh..

30 goals in the promotion season.

Murray got them up.

Sigh.

 

[Megazone]

He's also kept Reading up.

 

[Seagulls1984]

The fact we could have had him back on loan this season and we still wouldn't pay the wages.

We could have had him back the season after we let him go (2012 I think).

I think the deal was ruined by Hoskins, who was linked in the move, getting injured in training.

Could be wrong.

 

[CPFC G]

Never really too sure what half the figures mean in football club accounts but total wages to turnover is around 50%. Good figure, CPFC2010 have done well.

But tuppence and three farthings of that went to pay Paul Barber's bonus

It was Gary Dicker who broke Hoskins leg in training, so you are right.

Does every set of fans who's club has made a mistake in the transfer market, mercilessly beat themselves up over it for YEARS to come.


Or are we special?

No. Most clubs retain their manager, progressively build up their squad, overtake the Albion in the fast lane, gain promotion and have no reason whatsoever to beat themselves up about anything beyond their last result.

If it's their leading scorer who they let go to their bitterest rivals for nothing, who then took them to promotion, whilst they replaced him with an expensive Labrador, and the club in question stayed below, then probably yes"

It's the irony that makes this story run, especially because he still lives here.
