Fredy fee

Remember that we have been tied to the wage capping for the last couple of seasons; we can only use 60% of annual turnover for wages.

This "wonderful little club" has been in trouble for at least twenty of the thirty years that I have been watching the Shrimpers. You kinda get used to it ...

Go wash your mouth out with soap!

Sorry for speaking a dirty word! But remember they helped in the rise of Fredy, surely a lil redemption....just a lil lil bit. Still hate them though!

Nope! Didn't I hear that they pinched him off our Youth setup? I'm giving the Spamsters nothing!

Take it:

a) you don't have an electronic copy

and

b) you're not prepared to type them up for me.

Nope. But we're an hour or so south of Valencia; Ryanair fly there too.

Seriously :

a) no

b) I could. But it will take some time. Perhaps it might be better to speak to someone in the UK ...

Yeah, was a bit of a long shot/joke.

It's a nice thought that you imply you may have done it were they a few pages shorter

On the subject of wages -vs- turnover, is this year's wage structure based on last year's turnover? otherwise, you could say "how long's a piece of string"!

The club is certainly running better than under the previous ownership, although it was saved from oblivion by Vic Jobson, so I have to agree that the club has had a tumultuous existance.

New beginnings come May? here's hoping!

 

[Thenewblue]

Yeah actually i agree, give them nothing! Love to see them stay where they are! Their a championship team, championship manager, with a premiership ground, hope they continue to slide!

Good point. I don't know what reference they would use. The last accounts available are those for the year ending 31 July 2003. If we went by those figures, the turnover was £2,194,162, which would equate to just over £1.3 million available for wages?

[Javea Shrimper]

BTW - Wages for year ending 31 July 2003 were around the £1.6 million mark ...

I heard Thomson financial were good payers.

 

[southend4ever]

I apologise...

Fred was signed for £30,000 not £40,000 as i previously stated.

 

[BoyWonder2]

Does anybody actually know how we did in the last financial year? Bearing in mind we went to Cardiff, and appeared on SKY twice we must have done pretty well.

 

[Technician]

The 02/03 & 03/04 seasons were pretty similar with regards to turnover from league games I suspect, but with TV appearances (Canvey & LDV Final), we would certainly have been around £500k up including the preliminary rounds of the LDV.

 

[The General]

When is the financial report for last year going to be released?! Surely we should have been due one in July 2004, or am i wrong in thinking that?!
