| Latest Accounts Filed on 10:17 - Feb 10 with 4485 views | CroydonCaptJack | I am hoping Rollercoaster will be along with some valued input but given this is a Covid season, I am sure that the furlough money and any rates rebate would have hardly dented the wage bill and with practically no gate income this is not bad at all. Would have probably been profitable if not for Covid which must be very frustrating for Hoos etc. |  |

I think we may have spent a fair bit of that already. Austin, Johansen, Field, De Wijs, Dozell, Gray, McCallum, Marshall, Hendrick, Sanderson and Odubajo. |  | |  |

1.Without an owner with cash not a viable entity- despite being now one of the very best run championship clubs 2 On that year with Eze money close to break even - or possibly in profit slightly. But unlikely to be repeated Another 17m of Rubens cash turned into equity which he would not recover if he was to sell tomorrow |  | |  |

We got £515,000 from the furlough scheme (£305,000 in the previous year) |  |

Is that on the basis of the Eze money covering the losses, and the next sale retroactively covering this season's purchases? |  | |  |
| Latest Accounts Filed on 11:08 - Feb 10 with 4137 views | nix | What would our turnover be in a normal year? I'm guessing that it's been absolutely slashed for this financial period, and we'd be in reasonable shape otherwise as our costs have been significantly reduced. I know we've spent a fair bit of the Eze cash but some of it has been on players that may themselves bring a return, like Dykes, Dunne, Field and Willock. Surely other clubs that haven't cut costs and are still paying silly wages are going to be in more trouble than us? They can't all have sold £20 million players. |  | |  |

Are you sure? Looks to my amateur eyes that a normal non covid period we'd be in profit without intervention from shareholders? As long as we sold £20m worth of players every two seasons, which is extremely doable. |  | |  |

Thanks Brian. That's a good overall analysis. I thought the following comment was a very interesting way of looking at the finances: "The timing of the way we have come good this season just reflects that if you run the business well off the pitch it does feed through to the rest of the club. I like to think this is highlighted by the cost per point, which has more than halved since the 2014 high point." |  | |  |

I'd possibly downgrade "extremely doable" to something like "a bit of a challenge". We've only managed it once so far and 1 period where that guy who's going to balance your books decides he wants to run down his contract or he does his ligaments and you're looking at a massive hole in your finances. So I'd say running the club without the shareholders is doable but risky and would be a difficult challenge. |  | |  |

Don't worry, i'm not planning a coup! Eze was a irreplaceable loss year before last and now we have Chair AND Willock doing the same thing for £650k. That's before we get to Dickie, Barbet, and Dieng. Appreciate we didn't get here by accident and that investors have made it possible, but i'm always keen to seek evidence that English football is sustainable. Great news all round.

I could well be wrong, but I think our revenue for last year also includes 17m from Ruben converted to equity. So we’re 4m off break even last year, even with both the Eze money and 17m/year from the owner. |  | |  |

1) Need to look at cashflow as the owners input does not appear on the income statement. We made 12m loss in cash before they invested. 2) normal Covid income is say 19m (?), we seem to have 36m of costs. So, 17m loss every year. That’s a lot to cover from player sales I think. It’s difficult because Covid distorts the picture as no idea what “normal” revenues are. |  | |  |

i havent taken a look at these accounts, but i have read through them quite closely in years pas theres usually a line in the notes to the financials that says how much the shareholders funded... it takes the form of a "shareholder loan", but ultimately it is ultimately an injection of equity as the owners basically just convert the debt into shares- in other words, they write off the loan and never get paid back |  | |  |

I think (?) Baz was talking cash though. You can see what’s been put in by shareholders on cashflow. I could be wrong but that conversion is excluded for FFP, so whilst makes P&L look better, doesn’t really change much. |  | |  |
| Latest Accounts Filed on 18:50 - Feb 10 with 2960 views | derbyhoop | The operating loss was 21M Turnover was down 3.8M because of the pandemic restrictions meaning there was little gate income. But a massive revenue boost from player sales. That still left an overall loss of 4.5m. The only way that sort of loss can be lived with is to sell players. And for big money. Eze was an exception. We have never raised that sort of money from any player sales in the past. I suspect that this season will see turnover up as the fans have been coming back, we've pocketed a lot of money from being on Sky every other week; and we've had Cup runs (at least by our standards). We've also got a number of players who could raise 7 or 8 figure transfer fees but, probably not Eze levels. If we go up we have every chance of keeping the players in demand. But, if we don't, we'll have to sell 1 or 2. |  |

That's exactly what somebody planning a coup would say! It looks like our accounts are in a very positive position so hopefully we can get to a point where we're not reliant on shareholders to bankroll us each month in the near future. Some of the infrastructure to do that also costs money though unfortunately (like buying a training ground to avoid two lots of rent). So I think it's going to be a slow process. |  | |  |

Busted. Yeah facilities essential. The final missing pieces of our amazing progress over the last 8 years. Not a fan of owners as you may have gathered, but we have the least worst it seems. [Post edited 10 Feb 2022 19:37]
