[Football] Middlesbrough announce drop in losses

[Triggaaar]

Don't know but I've seen suggestions that the side promoted through the play offs have given their Wembley gate receipts to the losing side

That would be a gift. I don't know how that fits in with FFP.

-£120,000,000

It's gone even more crazy in the last couple of years.

I'm not a numbers person BUT purely from a punters point of view and knowing a couple of Boro fans...Strachan basically spent shed loads of money giving big fat contracts to carlos kickaballs and his Celtic mates.

Tony Mowbray came in and slowly but surely got rid of the high wage earners and built a team of youth and grizzled veterans. I remember Boro were always top 4 until about Feb then they ran out of steam, of course they started 2013 rubbish and he was given the tin tack.


So now they have trimmed the wage bill and with some financial skullduggery can "afford" to go large on going up...

There was a gentleman's agreement before the game that the losing team get both cuts. I think that has happened for a while now. Don't think it was anything new

and any Boro losses are offset the way Gibbo has the company structured as part of his Bulkhaul set up.

If those wage figures are true, I hope they rot. What a joke, £70,000 a week in the Championship.

Downing is on £27,500 basic a week. He gets £7.5k extra if he is named in the matchday squad.

And a £5m signing on fee

What's the latest with QPR?

They're sh!t I believe.

They employ very expensive lawyers.

Careful, we've still got to play them.

They employ very expensive lawyers.

Yes, yes.

How about their case for breaching FFP? Is it awaiting trial, abandoned, or what?

That is correct and recently it has always been honoured. I believe last season Boro got in the region of 3million from the Playoff final (1.5mil from Norwich obviously)

I could be wrong as that's without double-checking.

Incidently Rhodes is on around 40k a week as I think our highest earner, with a bonus guaranteed should we go up. Downing is our 2nd highest earner with a wage as a previous Boro fan posted.

Fair enough, the figures I was given include promotion bonuses.
