We might be paying JJ Watt ?

Just saying there is no information on what the management fee was paid for or which affiliate it was paid to.

Paul Waine

But you claimed that none of the directors received any remuneration and no shareholders have taken money out of the club. So, which is it? I didn't claim, I quoted the accounts that state it. I also said a management fee paid to an affiliate doesn't indicate that Alan Pace and other directors were...

Paul Waine

Is it not possible that the £2.5m management fee was paid to another company of which Alan Pace and co are directors? It's not only possible, it's certain. The accounts say it was paid to an affiliate. But, just because Alan Pace is a director of the company providing management services doesn't me...

there appears to be a lot of matchday and event staff in those figures - it hides all the full time numbers on the administration and commercial activities previously we would not have have mentioned the matchday event numbers the football side has grown marginally, and is now a handful above the y...

Who do you think BFC paid a £2.5m management fee to? I’m not suggesting that the directors shouldn’t be paid for the work that they do, but I don’t think you’re naive enough to claim that the accounts clearly state the directors haven’t been remunerated. Note 6: The Company had no employees, other ...

Paul Waine

So are you saying directors/shareholders are sucking out funds, or 'improvements'/operating costs of the admin side? Hi Ian, I don't think anyone has answered your question. The latest set of accounts very clearly state that none of the directors received any remuneration for their services. Equall...

Didn't the new owners have 3 transfer windows before we got relegated? The club was in decent shape, how the club is now (good or bad) is down to the new owners. Bought club 30th December 2020.

I think you have misunderstood the rule there is a 3 year period assessment 2022/23, 2021/22 and 2020/21 the latter two seasons giving you T1 and T2 respectively - due to covid rue relaxations the figures for 2020/21 are actually an average of 2019/20 and 2020/21 I've read the relevant sections of ...

Apparently they’ve already contacted Gifton Noel-Williams, and he’s going to head over tomorrow and take a few penalties…. Said he’ll have that bit of metal down in no time. That’s what you call efficient.

I don't understand why they didn't get Muric to knock it into shape at half time.

GREAT SAVE!
Burnley 1-1 Wolves

Really important save from Arijanet Muric to deny Rayan Aït-Nouri a second goal.

He's played in over the top and gets the better of Maxime Esteve but Muric comes off his line, stays on his feet and makes a big block from close range.

Fair comment.

However, the price of houses in Cornwall does seem to suggest that more people than not think it's a good place to live. Hospitals and football notwithstanding!

Isn't that more an indication that people like to own a second home there?

The price rises always seem to be passed on much quicker than the falls.

Price changes, whether up or down are passed on in seconds in the wholesale side of the industry, Traders lose money and businesses go bust if they don't.

Retail side of any business is, of course, very different.
