18 million Euros allegedly

Seems it's down to Tony the away fans are upstairs

Because you can't coach a silk purse out of a sows ear

Could have bought a completely new spine to the team for the 12M.

There is absolutely no evidence we are playing higher-up the pitch this season!

Can't find any previous reference to special additions in previous years accounts for transfer activity going back to 2012. Which raises questions. With the amount involved you have to wonder if this is the BB transfer plus agents fees and signing on fee which has been funded from a separate pot

Cost of purchase of intangible assets on page 13 is 4.2m so certainly doesn't include full amount of the 7m for bb. The transfer fees are divided annually by the length of the initial contract as per notes in the accounts. However the special additions terminology is different to most recent years looking back to see if this term has been used before

Not a bean counter but trawling through accounts for year end March 2019 signed by directors on 26 June 2019 so excluding the summer purchase shows page 8 profit on disposal of intangible assets (players to you and me) At 1.29m and 2018 1.03m Point 23 in accounts talks about maximum liability for amounts due for registered players due to football clubs and other third parties for first team players is 3,970,054 subject to total appearances. ( Depends if BB considered a first team player) Point 10 gives cost of player additions between April 2018 and 31 March 2019 at 8.862m and described as special additions!

For both the league 1 season year to March 2018 and the year to March 2019 the wage to turnover is exactly the same at 154% coincidence? or an operating model?

My impression of him was that he is what a number on here were calling for earlier in the season as a typical championship stopper.

One of those in the second half was close to Mowbray and he had gestured with his arm to Armstrong to get back on side before the ball was kicked and he was still caught. Mowbray is then tapping the side of his head to Armstrong to think use his brain. Frustrating player is Armstrong if he could work out how to stay on side would be a huge bonus

1600 less yesterday than 12 months ago.

Reading John Duerdens book Rovers Revolution writing about Alex Ferguson and his treatment of Eric Cantona. Not a managers job to publicly criticise his employees. That is no good for work relationships. Tony take note

Helps them out by selling them David Raya for 3M. To be hoped there's a big sell on percentage in that deal!

The damage caused to the club during that period is unquantifiable

Very true depends whether sheff utd see him as a squad member or better see what happened to been heneghan

They were only talking at 2million last time!

Indeed we were. Recurring theme like this summer with the keepers of not getting the deals done.

Heneghan has been on the market for 18 months. Been loaned out to Blackpool until this Jan. Contract up this summer. Never started for sheff utd.

Reading the accounts published 30 December this does not seem to be the case. It states a net spend on transfers of less than 1000 pounds since the year end in March and a net profit of over 1 million in transfer dealings in that twelve months

Just put it in an area where he expected big Al to be attacking.

This. After nearly 3 years I am still not sure what he's trying to do other than the long diagonal to his right striker playing out of position

Who?

Yet another England collapse 7-39 there is not one player who can regularly bat all day in this side it's all about the instant gratification of t20 and God forbid the hundred these days bah humbug

Utter bonkers could have fit them all in that side of the lower tier look better on TV or fit them all upstairs I suppose club would say we have to open lower tier for the disabled support which is fair enough so if doing that put them all downstairs
