January Transfer window

Thank you. It's not off thread. These are all mitigating factors in why we sell our best players and look to recruit cheaply. -

Interesting. Turnover and costs increasing. As a trend, media rights are growing and match day income increasing. Although they get criticised, commercial income is also on the up. How do you turn a billionaire into a millionaire? -

In the trading year 18 / 19 the company turned over 16.7 million. With costs of circa 33 million. Pre-trading loss of 16.1 million. We lost a further 1.6 million on player trading. Total loss of 18+ million. In the trading year 19 / 20 the company turned over 13.5 million. With costs of circa 34.2 million. Pre-trading losses of 20.1 million. We lost a further 1.2 million on player trading. Total loss of 21+ million. In the trading year 20 / 21 the company turned over 14.5 million. With costs of circa 33.5 million. Pre-trading loss of 15.6 million. 13 million came in from player trading, but we also spent 3.5 million on player trading. Total loss of 6.6 million. In the trading year 21 / 22 the company turned over 16.6 million. With costs of circa 35 million. Pre-trading loss of 17.4 million. We successfully brought in circa 6 million on player trading. Total loss of 11.8 million. In the trading year 22 / 23 the company turned over 21.0 million. With costs of circa 38.5 million. Pre-trading loss of 17.8 million. We spent a further 3.1 million on player trading. Total loss of 20.9 million. I can't find figures for 23 / 24. If we average it out at 17 million losses. With circa 18 million incoming for Wharton, 9 million for Sammie, 5 million for Raya, another 1.5 bits and bats circa 35 million. 18 million profit for the year. Losses of 78 million for the previous 5 years. Losses over 6 years circa 60 million. Total losses north of 130 million. Total expenditure blown north of 450 million. So why do they still bother? 1) Indian pride / caste theory? 2) Skeletons in the cupboard theory? 3) Zero business acumen theory? 4) Zero football knowledge theory? 5) Cannot be arsed theory? 6) Tax write off theory? 7) The son of the sons plaything theory? 8) Hate Rovers fans theory? Whatever the reason, things are about to get worse for the owners. We have not re-invested wisely in either the stadium, facilities or squad. We don't have any valuable players left to sell. So those 17 million losses will soon need paying wholly out of their own funds. There won't be any player trading gains to offset them. I can't see that making them happy. And if they don't change anything then nothing will change. So I personally believe we are heading towards a critical period in their ownership. What would I do in this position? I'd do exactly what I believe Eustace wants to do. I'd focus purely on the short term. I'd gamble on getting in the play offs and getting promoted. I'd increase my financial exposure and get time served, experienced players in that can do an immediate job and try and wriggle into the play offs. If it didn't work, I'd sell up. As losing 17 million a year on a business i did not enjoy would be foolhardy. Like the rest if you, my family and I, have devoted a large chunk of their lives to this club. My mum and dad went to the Wolves cup final, I was there against Charlton, away at PNE, against Tottenham, against Liverpool. Therefore I'm hoping it's; 9) The fucking snowball theory. The most expensive snowball in history. That at least would be amusing. Where were you when Speedie dived?- 6291 replies

This season depending on what result we have just had and who is posting; Pears isn't good enough. Brittain isn't good enough. Hyam isn't good enough. Tronstad isn't good enough. Hedges isn't good enough. Dolan isn't good enough. JRC isn't good enough. ACD isn't good enough. Cantwell isn't good enough. Gueye isn't good enough. Leonard isn't good enough. Ohasho isn't good enough. Forshaw isn't good enough. Sigurdsson isn't good enough. Batth, Beck, Travis, Toth and Sanderson are currently good enough. Miraculously we are 5th with 14 players who aren't good enough. Eustace gets all the credit, but has still not played any minutes. Looks like im in the minority but I fully expect us to bounce straight back after the 1-0 loss to Oxford. Rovers 2 Coventry 1.

0-0 half time. Just as we like it. Tronstrad is a blow. Gueye booked for nothing. -

Yes. They fall under other expenses in our accounts not player salaries, or player trading. -

You said I was untruthful. Now condescending. Anything else? Yet i didn't allude to anything. I said they commit to cover 17 million in losses each year. Which is correct. We are ALL already aware that judicious re-investment in players can be beneficial. It's not a new footballing development. -

17 million losses x 2 years = 34 million. Minus Wharton 18 rising to 22 million, Sammie 9 million plus add ons, Raya 5 million. 18 + 9 + 5 = 32 million. Plus increased TV revenue = small profit. Ben iif your £ 135.00 million down over 13 years, then make £ 2 million in year 14 do you believe you are now in profit? Plus you need the 2 mullion to help offset the next 12 months 17 million losses. Anyway it's not rocket science. We are skint, unless the owners decide to wax their own money in ever increasing amounts.
