Fulham

[norfolk white]

Fulham have strengthened further by getting knockeart in , looking strong up front, Cardiff get flint in and looking strong, whereas we see roofe in a leg brace, sell Pontus and watch all our rivals strengthen, two weeks Mr orta, two weeks!

[lasher]

I am completely baffled and pizzed off to extremes. WTF is going on !? Nothing quite clearly...
Why are we so skint ? Genuine question if anyone really knows the answer.

[RetfordWhite]

My fear is that the money is being used to clear losses made by Radz’s sports broadcasting company��

[Rev72]

RetfordWhite may just have a valid point there.

Blame everything on FFP and clear yer 'other companys' debts....Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????????????????

[whitestomper45]

You lot really think we get all that money upfront?

It's very rare these days for any one to pay upfront, usually in instalments. (I think the maximum length of payments is 3 years and was set due to Ridsdale's antics with us. Brentford may have likely paid more upfront hence the lower selling price for Pontus.

What's wrong with mentioning the last gate receipts? There was inference that AR is trousering the money. Yes and maybe planning cashflow/balancing the books includes selling and buying players when you have no income you fkn know it all. Tho am sure such an astute football forensic accountant such as the calibre of WTF could advise LUFC how much better he could run the club.

You do make me smile sometimes (unintentionally I'm sure).

Of course "balancing the books" involves buying and selling (it helped a LOT according to the 2018 accounts!), and the planning you refer to helps that. Not quite sure what is so astute about expecting our club senior management knowing about borrowing against future income (It happens all the time, in business and personal life. You have had a mortgage I assume, or a bank loan to buy that which you can't afford in one lump sum?)?

It goes something like.......

"Dear Mr Bank Manager,

We have negotiated the sale of some of our assets, and will be paid £20m over a maximum of three years. That revenue may increase, if the assets sold meet performance targets, and/or are subsequently sold on at a profit, but the £20m figure is guaranteed.

We would like to borrow £18m in order to invest in new assets which we expect will increase our companys performance, to the extent that we may well be able to move into a superior position in relation to our competitors, compared to where we are at present. So please please please can we have that £18m?

Yours sincerely,

Andrea Radrizzani, owner, Leeds United Football Club"

If that counts as advice to LUFC and they take it, I'll send them a bill.

Oh, and taking your observations to their logical but completely farcical ultimate conclusion, no Championship club would be buying anything during the summer transfer window, as all gate receipts stop in May

If ever I needed proof of what a tw&t you are... oh and you don't think our club has had it's fill of borrowing against future income...
Maybe hop down to Bolton Wanderers, Macclesfield or Notts County and preach your daft mantra
