Fascinating work and well done !

When you read about these Companies though its clear they have never read the bible on how to communicate in plain English, They seem to talk a complete load of ballhooks and marketing Companies are amongst the worst. Reminds me PG site services for all their faults at least are able to talk plainly about they services they offer, Whats that old advert " it does what it says on the tin?!":Winking2:
I'm assuming Crate will come on and say it's not them but until that happens they are the best I can find.
 
From the horses mouth our player wage budget last season was 1.4 million.
It was certainly the budget, It seems to get forgotten this includes employer costs like NI, pensions, insurances etc. So you cant just divide by 20 and say here you are this is what they get paid.

The £1.4m budget was competitive - top half rather than high I think?

We have been through before that very few football clubs don't lose money. Very few. In NL on average owners are putting in over £100k per month. For individual clubs to buck this trend and stay competitive the football model as a whole needs to change, and few individual clubs swim effectively against the tide for long...regrettably...

If the trust are looking into buying the club, it's probably worth signing up. Either to get involved or to tell them to stop lol.
 
We are back in court in 14 days time and unless the club gets a cash injection upwards of £250k we will be on -7 points and staring national league south in the face.

Now is not the time for things to go quiet and for us to say yeah, we will be fine.
 
If buyers were there at the weekend chaps we did ourselves proper proud. What a team and what a fanbase. I don’t care about the debt, any buyer would be lucky to have us. Utterly priceless.
They might figure keep what we have and add say 6 new bodies and the right ones then promotion is not by any means off the table. Certainly should boost their positive thinking about what is possible. If they indeed have got as far as conversations with the football department then the result would have been timely and helpful you would hope- everything crossed....
 
I heard from someone who works the bars at the hall that the manager of the bars confirmed that Aussie ( potential owners) were their.

Both of them were there and of course the Secret Hateful Eight group.
 
We all loved having an academy, but the fact of the matter is that selling a few young lads for the price of a pack of biscuits to City doesn’t help it to make money. As sad as it is, it needed to go sooner from a business perspective.
Agree with most of what you are saying but it's the later sell on fees that make us the academy money, i.e. Hayden.

been saying this all summer. The sqaud we have only just missed out last season and we know why that was. If we could have added last season we may of gone up. We are as you say 5-6 players short

Is it the same source that told you the Kimura sale was done? Not discrediting you, but you’ve had some very incorrect sources in the past.
Don’t mean this to cause offence!

£2m I believe. Think it's all creditors + other HMRC debts
