Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
If I understand you correctly I would say - Not really - as we would have to use our current "dry powder" to pay off the existing contracts and our revenue would collapse to the £15-£20m mark like in Championship days. So much of our Revenue is dependant on the Money and reach of TV - that includes the sponsorships which are broadcast around the world for all to see.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Yes I know but I was just thinking about all those clubs who have gone into massive debt and the fact that we haven’t.

There would be a reasonably large number of clubs going bankrupt fairly quickly.
It would be interesting to see.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
It would be like the early noughties - lots of CVA's and lots of local businesses threatened with going bump as well of lot's of people on normal incomes being out of work. The big clubs was seize the opportunity to control their overseas media rights and generate more money than ever by selling their matches to view on the web at a few quid a game. we on the other hand would be stable but around 50 ordinary people would be out of work and our funding for the academy would be seriously challenged in the medium term

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Following on from the FIFA proposal to limit agents share of transfers the Premier League is to vote on dual representation by agents so as to limit the outgoings to agents - this could get nasty as it would be a unilateral move by the PL

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
So limiting dual representation won't reduce the amount used will it?
Still going to need two agents and they can just get their mate involved on the other side of it.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Outside the top flight we know life can be grim, and we also know what tends to happen to clubs when a football agent (or ex agent in this case) gets involved in the running or ownership of a club. So why do these people keep repeating the same mistakes? - Oldham are the latest in a litany of madcap takeovers by people who think they know better - the link is to a sorry tale of woe and utter stupidity

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Meanwhile Richard Scudamore thinks he has a plan to rework the distribution of overseas tv monies that will meet a consensus on Thursday as the Chairmen meet - I am not so convinced and the argument that the bottom 3 get more than the top 3 because of Parachute payments is ridiculous -those monies are available to all who go down that route - more is earned by another season in the PL and subsequent Parachute payments if that is how things go for them

Liverpool's owner is demanding more money for certain clubs, he's adamant things can't stay the same forever and it apparently isn't good for the sport.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
I hope that the rest of the league have enough common sense to tell the likes of Henry to **** off. It's pure greed.
It wouldn't make them richer, because the rest of football would just charge more for their players.
It doesn't make them a stronger team, because all of their peers would have the same extra money.
It's sole purpose is to widen the gap between the top 6 and the rest, and that just leads to an even more unlevel playing field, which in the long run will kill the game as we know it.
Personally I'd rather they all ****** off and joined a European League where the greedy bastards can learn the price of shitting on the hand that feeds you.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Paul
most reports suggest that it is a regular payment so PAYE makes sense though it is not clear given that the size of the payment thought to be around £4.2m which to my mind would also include VAT depending on the regularity of PAYE payments. The CE was suspended because he couldn't find the funds from other cash pots.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
for all the money woes and gambles of Aston Villa, Sunderland and the yet to be spoken of Middlesbrough - it is not hard to understand the dream to get into and stay in the Premier League - The last season for which we have financial results saw unprecedented earnings - helped significantly by TV monies and the reach that such deals bring to "brand value" (highlighted elsewhere on this thread) and therefore other means of earnings (primarily commercial). What is less acknowledged outside the boardrooms is how the new FFP rules in Europe and the Premier League is driving a path to profitability for all participants (good news for Owners, HMRC, and many local businesses that supply them but not necessarily so for competition, the ability to sign the best talent and therefore agents)

You can see from the article here how the new allocation of money in the European competitions is loaded towards maintaining the status quo with higher shares for those with higher European co-efficients.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
your right Aggi - I was going to post it last night but it appeared on it's own thread at the same time - however for a club like ours to achieve qualification on a regular basis is beyond credulity - the competition would just break us up by poaching players and staff - this is where FFP restricts us - it is all well and good players wanting bigger wages and seeing us earn healthy profits but we cannot spend all those on wages (should we want too)as we are restrained by FFP as to how much we can increase our wage bill - that is unless we significantly increase our commercial operation - I know Mike Garlick hinted at the time last years results came out that he thought there was a lot of opportunity for us in that space.

I thinks they will manage it if (ordered by probability):

- agree excessive interest on a loan (as the risk of non-repayment is now increasing)
- Tony Xia manages to persuade the Chinese Authorities to let him take money out of the country

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
I have posted previously about how the ownership of clubs in multiple territories is unfair and can lead to (at best) immoral practises in player trading/hoarding - here is another example from the owners of Leicester who now have a 2nd division Belgian side that is picking up young players for a snip in the hope of developing them for Leicester. The son of a Sheffield Wednesday Legend and a huge academy prospect for them being an example of how they operate

It seems that this summer's International Champions Cop (you know the won that gets the big European Clubs salivating at the prospect of a closed shop Champions League) has suddenly found itself not as popular as before with attendances significantly down on previous years.
Is this down to:
- too much football
- costs being too high
- lack of intensity of competition
- lack of big names after the world cup
- over familiarity with clubs going back to the same places each year and more games being put on

And more to the point Roy each of those has match day revenues a min of 9 times more than us and some much more - Utd and Arse took more in match day revenues that season than we took from TV (add in Champs League and their TV revenues were more than 1.7 times ours)

Effectively this is a glorified pre-season event so not a full-blooded match.
The same teams year after year takes away the novelty,this applies to the Champions League to some extent,but at least that is meaningful football.
The article suggested prices are double a normal MLS game,for a 'friendly' that's extortionate.

Following on from yesterdays report about the fact PL clubs can make profits without selling a ticket - A report on the financial chasm between the Premier League and the football League - no surprise to learn that the gap has grown significantly under the current TV deal - but an interesting trend on the scale and duration of the gamble now being undertaken by the Championship clubs looking for the rewards facilitated by a revised FFP post QPR Leicester and Bournemouth - though if you don't manage it in two seasons you are in for some serious cuts in year 3

the increase disparity between the new PL TV deal and the previous one can be seen if this report is compared to a similar one at the beginning of last season

If there's no such thing as a Money Tree, then why do banks have branches?

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Shows why Premier League status is vital to Burnley FC,if we maintain top-flight football there will be potential to snap up some of the top talent from the Championship,ala Gibson and Vydra,equally we are able to keep our star men and not have to flog the family silver.Chester Perry wrote:Following on from yesterdays report about the fact PL clubs can make profits without selling a ticket - A report on the financial chasm between the Premier League and the football League - no surprise to learn that the gap has grown significantly under the current TV deal - but an interesting trend on the scale and duration of the gamble now being undertaken by the Championship clubs looking for the rewards facilitated by a revised FFP post QPR Leicester and Bournemouth - though if you don't manage it in two seasons you are in for some serious cuts in year 3

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Remarkable is the only way to describe the lengths that many Championship clubs are now prepared to go to reach the promised land, and look which club are top of the pile in terms of Wage bill to Turnover ratio. Yes, it's Blackburn Rovers, weighing in at a whopping 150% and yet some of their numpty supporters still support the move to remove their owners whilst a minority understand the level of debt of gratitude they owe the Venky's. Without them the club would long ago have been filing for insolvency.Chester Perry wrote:Following on from yesterdays report about the fact PL clubs can make profits without selling a ticket - A report on the financial chasm between the Premier League and the football League - no surprise to learn that the gap has grown significantly under the current TV deal - but an interesting trend on the scale and duration of the gamble now being undertaken by the Championship clubs looking for the rewards facilitated by a revised FFP post QPR Leicester and Bournemouth - though if you don't manage it in two seasons you are in for some serious cuts in year 3

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Interesting article in the Guardian about fans chasing the funds of Usmanov for their club - comes with a proper warning that he sees it as an investment that he expects to make money from probably in a way he has seen the Glazers do at Man Utd

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
it is amazing how fans believe that their club deserves more money put ito it that is only visible to them in headline transfer fees - we seem to have it more than everRoyboyclaret wrote:Remarkable is the only way to describe the lengths that many Championship clubs are now prepared to go to reach the promised land, and look which club are top of the pile in terms of Wage bill to Turnover ratio.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Looks like the EFL are pushing through on tougher punishments for breaches of FFP (for those that aren.t promoted to the Prem) - Birmingham City are to be the first to feel the pain

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Just reading the article their misdemeanour isn't FFP breaches as such,but spending well under a transfer embargo,we'll see if the EFL sticks to their guns over this case,that much of a points deduction makes relegation to League 1 very likely.Chester Perry wrote:Looks like the EFL are pushing through on tougher punishments for breaches of FFP (for those that aren.t promoted to the Prem) - Birmingham City are to be the first to feel the pain
