Brighton were paying £1.3m per year to rent their ground and training complex on previous accounts. You could argue it’s wooden dollars. I wonder why Bloom isn’t writing the debt off? The reason is likely that he expects it back, and there will come a day when that debt gets called in. That’s when t...

Just think about it. FFP prevents fairy tales like Jack Walker enabling his small town club to compete with the big boys. Why would anyone other than your tight assed board be happy with that? One minute they are crying foul when someone suggests they bought the title, and the next they are talking...

The biggest budget quite often gets you the most success, and Blackburn’s past is littered with seasons of success when someone has allowed them one of the biggest budgets. It’s no surprise they’re up there when a club like Portsmouth, one of the biggest clubs in that division with 17,000 crowds, ha...

Rovers fans pretending they’re boycotting, or have boycotters (I don’t mean 100 who have principles), to explain away the non-attendance. Rubbish! If there was truly a boycott going on they’d have 3,000 crowds by now, not the same or bigger crowds than when previously at that level. They even have a...

[quote="claret59One last plea (apart from banning blasphemy!) is for some recognition that there are many claret fans like me from all over the country that do their best to support the Club, I get a bit fed up with the constant comparing of the size of the town with the size of its support as thoug...

As much as I’m happy that BFC are reaping the rewards right now, I don’t think that the TV money is amshared our enough. I’d be happy if Premier League clubs got half of what they get, if that meant more money for the lower leagues and non-league, and not seeing owners pockets. The wages in the PL w...

We did, it's not even up for debate. We were so financially f**ked Kilby had to persuade fans to pay for 2 season tickets at once by offering refunds on the 2nd year tickets. ITV Digital collapsed 7 years prior to that. I’ve not read the other comments since, but yes it seems it is up for debate. W...

Trouble with not Being West Brom and Stoke that season. They were the supposed big boys of the league weren’t they?

Claretforever

In 2008/09 we needed to be propped up financially to reach the PL, what's your point? We gave away free tickets and financially crippled ourselves over a number of years, I'm sure we even had a transfer embargo. You make it sound like we were throwing free tickets about all over the place. You also...

They have, but they are allowed a total of £39m over a moving 3 years period. From the losses you see I’d imagine they claim a few million are to do with their academy, which doesn’t count as losses for FFP.

Claretforever

FFP is about losses over 3 years, and they are under that. I don’t get what Venky’s are getting out of any of this though?

Claretforever

I also wonder if they’ll just spend a fortune to try and sneak promotion to the Premier League*, or are they doomed to another relegation fight where Venky’s might then say ‘enough is enough’? The former is a risk, and could lead to Venky’s calling time on it anyway if not successful. *I’m assuming ...

Well I’m sure you’re all like me here, and feel dreadfully sorry for the dire financial state they’ve got themselves into? :shock: Who’d have thought when they had a benefactor ploughing multiple millions into them that they’d be such a mess when the tap was turned off, and they were expected to ope...

I remember trying to do the workings out based upon a Luton Town statement on their sell on fee, and I think I worked it out that we’d paid £5.7m up front guaranteed. We then had to pay a further £3m in total if we went up and then stayed up. We did both, so thought our total fee was about £8.7m, gi...

Outside Wigan there is zero challenge in the division for Blackburn. Even shrewsbury aren’t good. It seemed to feel when we were last down there 18 years ago that the standard was a little better, although it probably wasn’t.

It’s a big step up to the Championship.

So guns, knives, bombs, knuckle dusters are all fine providing you don’t have your face painted?

There are far too many games in European competitions now. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly wouldn’t complain as a one off. I have always believed that it should be straight knockout like years ago. Even the group stages could be improved by only playing each other once. Pot luck whether you play mor...

I’d definitely want to go to a couple if we qualify, but like above, I have a feeling Leicester will finish 7th and we’ll finish 8th or even 9th.

From last year I believe they were published at Companies House 29th March but sent out to shareholders a week or so later. Looking forward to a gross profit around £25M + for 2016/17 and between £40-£50M for 2017/18. Simply staggering stuff!!! You say that, but the training ground seemed to be men...

Leicester fans think it would be “abject humiliation” to finish below Burnley. It’s that arrogance which cause our fans to take a dislike to them in 2013/14 on Clarets-Mad. They got a bit lucky and stayed up when they were destined for the Championship. Momentum and confidence carried them through a...

Leicester fans absolutely hated that stadium for years after they moved in. The only reason they’ve now accepted it is because they won the title in it. It was a horrible soulless bowl to many fans for years, although the club have made improvements over the years to the outside with fancy tarpaulin...

You say that, Morpheus, but there are games a couple of seasons ago where SJP looked like 10,000 people were missing, and they’ve never struggled in the Championship when they’ve dropped down this century. Sunderland are in a mess, and you can understand their fans not bothering. They look like they...

And Wigan also finished poorly, W2, D2, L4.

You’re right, CFC. I really do hope we spend a little on the ground soon though, whilst we have the riches. If we do eventually go down it might now happen for a very long time, and the outside of the ground needs some serious attention on the main stand (it’s the main stand!) and arguably the outsi...

I think we’ll need 54 points and to avoid defeat against Leicester. Maybe a win against them.

They’ve not got a bad run in have Leicester, with 2 of the top 6 like ourselves.

I’m not sure how many our post match press area holds, although I suspect it’s less than 75, but we have enough studio facilities etc. We’ve had UK and overseason broadcasters at the same time previously haven’t we?, and one of the areas is the corner of the Jimmy Mac near the police box with a view...

Scam as in ‘I am a director of Burnley Football Club.....’?

What’s he up to? I’ve just noticed that Mr Turner has created a company under that name, with him as the sole Director. Upon searching his name it appears he has done the same for a number of other football clubs, all Premier League sides apart from Leeds United. Future revenue from clubs buying tho...

Building a big ground does not a big club make. Wigan do better now than you’d normally expect because of the Prem years, but the tickets sold thing disguises the real attendances. The same with Reading in that the 8,000 announced may have been 5-6,000. Regardless of the size, Reading never seems to...
