Missing cash

[pboromag]

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???

i would say so and more
im sure electricity and maintainace bills are high

transport and hotels for all teams
pensions we have to pay

accommodation for the youths etc ,for those brought in from outside the areaeither hotels or local peoples houses who are given a rent etc

how much a onth do we pay for the ground
match day policing

business rates

ground care both st james,s and the training facilities

The fat f00k is financially suffocating the club.
It’s also money made from merchandise and shirt sales,
Commercial revenue from advertising
And the outsourcing of the clubs catering etc
It all adds up to a stranglehold of money that could be used to buy players,fund wages or update the training grounds

[pboromag]

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....

what would this missing money be

you are operating in one of the biggest buinesses in the world

not some market stall where cash can be takn out and not declared

only a fool would think ash ahs a little safe with brown envelopes with nufc cash written on them

So why is Ashley running us like one of his sh177y shops and not like the global business that we should be/could be?

What other businesses hires a cheap director like Charnley who is out of his depth or diliberately puts obstacles in the way of its company operations
Starves it’s manager of much needed funds
And continually lies to its customers ( us)

Wake up and get your head out your @rse

The money is all legally distributed. Nobody says otherwise.

It just isn't paid to the club. It is PAID to 3rd party agents and management firms.

Not difficult to do and not illegal.

But the club doesn't benefit as "every penny generated" is filtered out before it reaches the manager!

[toonfalifekevbrown]

He chokesthe club every way he can then builds the debt up even more.

Yup and then to sell will want £400 million (if were in prem), plus debut paid off.

Meaning we're not in a good place.

This debt will keep his personal tax down
Saving him money
Us being in debt is beneficial to him

So has not every single club in every division in professional football got these items to pay.

Why does it need to be put up as an excuse for Ashley to be tight on funds when all of the clubs around us are paying these for items as well as buying decent players with the owners backing their mangers to the hilt.
