    Missing cash

    If Ashley took last years missing tv Monday and sold Lascelles for £50 M and then said he was pocketing the lot but would take £250M for the club to sell up and leave
    Who would be happy?

    I would take a hit to get rid
    What do you think?

    100%!

    One payment / lump of cash no one is talking about & doesn't appear to be recorded in the accounts is the £42 million quid 'parachute payment' from last season.

    I understand that the accounts are for the last season however with the +90 million made from sales - the 50 million on players in +42 million parachute payment - how did the club still lose so much money?

    However back to the point.

    Surely there is an argument to be made for a fans consortium financing the purchase of the club in the same was the Glazer's purchased Man United?

    The Glazer's raised finance through loans from big banks based on the value of the club, cash in the bank (obvs our cupboard is bare), cash flow & potential additional income from returning the Club's commercial income to the levels it should be (circa 1996 - higher than Barcelona FC) as one of the top 10 biggest football brands on the planet?

    He will probably take all that anyway and not sell the club.

    so if he takes the money we wont take a hit
    the playes will as most goes on their wages
    im not so sure that would work

    we are stuck with him
    i dont see why so many bitch

    we are getting players in
    not multi million pound players

    but they dont always work

    the club are not in a position where they have to sell lascelles

    thats a decent position to be in surely

    Why can Fulham buy mitro for £22M but we can only scratch around and spend £10M on Muto and look for loan deals

    Face it once and for all we are just another of Ashley’s sweatshops

    I don’t know why you hold the man in such high esteem unless it’s just to troll people in this forum

    The morbidly obese one doesn’t care about NUFC unless it’s affecting
    His sh17edirect

    The missing cash is well hidden in the books...somehow syphoned out into Ashley's sportdirect

    How much does it really cost to run a football club?

    Wage bills, agents fees and other operational costs?

    Nufc revenue last season; £175m (not including player sales mind)

    Wage bill; £80m
    Agents fees; £10m
    Operational costs; ???

    We don't have money to spend??
    Does it cost £1.5m a month to run a club???

    The money we all know about is needed to run the club. The missing money NEVER appears in the books.

    Money handled by 3rd party companies, companies that are paid to make sure the club doesn't see the money....
