Tyketical M'stroke · Nov 2, 2006

Can we put a stop to it now please. They are massively in profit in the transfer market over the last season and a half.

Wages and agents fees

RE: Wages and agents fees

You'd think an 'accountant' could see beyond the headline figures. Jeez.

EastStander · Nov 2, 2006

Chopra = free?

Didn't they have to pay £500k for him......also factor in having to pay higher wages for these players.

Tyketical M'stroke · Nov 2, 2006

RE: Wages and agents fees

Knackerss, I can't be bothered.

Yes, I agree, let's all laugh at their financial suicide as they waltz their way into the Premiership.

Guest · Nov 2, 2006

RE: Wages and agents fees

You reckon Big Sam pushed him out??

Guest · Nov 2, 2006

RE: Wages and agents fees

ff

how do you reckon they're funding it? Against the income from the new ground?

Guest · Nov 2, 2006

mate you are wasting yer time on this lot.. They all wear rose colored glasses..to a man

they cannot or will not have a bad word spoken about Barnsley, despite the facts in front of their faces.If you criticise you are branded a heretic and should burn in hell.But when we go down and back to the mess we were in before I wonder..I just wonder....how the leopards spots will change then.Until then mate save yer breath its wasted.

RE: Wages and agents fees

Big Sam's son said he could get another ccountant from Tanzania for half the money.

Not criticising BFC, Baz, just stating that people going on about Cardiff all the time is a bit tiresome.

Glad that's cleared up.

BRF · Nov 2, 2006

As has already been stated - they paid a £500k fee for Chops and their wages are huge...

pompey_red · Nov 2, 2006

city hedge funds now own the club

ridsdale has taken on the investment offered by city high risk hedge funds ,these have paid sam hamman what he was owed and covered the current debts which currently stand at 23 million punds , the new stadium is in the planning stage and will cost over 30 million pounds , paid for by further investement, selling the old ground and payments from comapanies such as tk maxx and boots who will both open shops in the complex when the stadium opens.

one word - gamble !

two words - no thanks

Guest · Nov 2, 2006

RE: city hedge funds now own the club

pardon my fiscal knowledge which is less than zilch, but how do the debts get serviced under that arrangement ? Or is it simply relying on promotion and assuming they'll stay in the Prem ?

McPhail's on £8k per week apparently.

Owen Blackadder · Nov 2, 2006

I think the council own the old ground

and will own the new one.

BRF · Nov 2, 2006

£400,000 a year? And I'll bet that Chops is on £500,000 or at least the same.

pompey_red · Nov 2, 2006

exactly that

the debts are secured both on future development and future earnings , both of which the hedge fund managers expect to exceed current levels ...

Jay · Nov 2, 2006

TM and Dragon sitting in a tree...

Guest · Nov 2, 2006

RE: exactly that

Excellent. Dunt Ridsdale learn ?

We've seen teams run away with the Championship afore and then struggle after promotion. Jones is a decent manager though, but it's still a very heavy risk imho.
