Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
No such thing as abbreviated accounts these days.
Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
My apologies. I thought you were trying to be helpful with some advice, inaccurate though it was, about abbreviated accounts.
Had I realised you were being pitifully nitpicky in an attempt to mislead, I would have phrased my answer differently.

Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
Hi CP, what makes you think the Premier League rec'd BFC's accounts in December? Wouldn't there be the risk of leaks, not just Burnley, but other clubs if the PL rec'd them so early? Wouldn't it suggest that investigations into breaches of financial rules could be initiated shortly after the PL receiving clubs' accounts? Or, create legal arguments from clubs that if the PL had had the accounts for some time and done nothing that it is too late to do something later on?Chester Perry wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 11:18 amand still we wait - The Premier League got them back in December I think
Of course, I'm giving the PL the benefit of the doubt, assuming that they'd receive accounts for the purposes of checking if financial regulations were being observed.

Each Club shall by 1 March in each Season, submit to the Board a copy of its Annual Accounts in respect of its most recent financial year or if the Club considers it appropriate or the Board so requests the Group Accounts of the Group of which it is a member (in either case such accounts to be prepared and audited in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements) together with a copy of the directors’ report for that year and a copy of the auditors’ report on those accounts.

Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
A loss of just 2.5m for the year is the first most surprising / positive I've come across, despite a 20m loss in revenue due to Covid/league position.
Wages also reduced played a part.

Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
So looks like ~ £37m in cash came from the club and another £65m from a loan (MSD presumably) was used to finance the takeover.
A large part of the loan repayments repayable on relegation.
Nothing too unexpected. Not much that looks particularly beneficial to the club.

Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
There has been a decrease of 30m of the 80m cash in the bank to leave 50m still.
From what I've read/understand, the 67m loan is not due to be repaid until 2025 UNLESS we get relegated, then a larger portion is due immediately. I'd imagine the cash reserves of 50m would be used in this case. The notes also talk a lot about player trading if we go down.

So how much did ALK pay for the club then? Do we know?
I saw quotes of debts likely to be £200m to fund the purchase?

We need to keep in mind that these accounts are for the y/end 31st July 2021 and that the cash balances reported at the y/end date includes an element of tv money that will be used to pay player wages for the following season.RVclaret wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 6:36 pmThere has been a decrease of 30m of the 80m cash in the bank to leave 50m still.

Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
There's been a lot of debate about how ClaretPete arrived at his "£200m debt" figure. To be fair to Pete, I don't think he was necessarily speaking of the accounts as at 31st July 2021.clarethomer wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 6:44 pmSo how much did ALK pay for the club then? Do we know?

Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
It doesn't include the debt in the headlines, it seems to me.
Shows assets of over £60m and a creditor, payable in a tear of £65m.
So does that mean the former owner has left the club's money in the bank, for one year, at market interest but wants it in own pocket after a year?
Question not statement

We've always known that relegation will impact on revenues, and parachute payments aren't as high as Premier League tv money.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 6:49 pmTell me if I’m wrong but it basically reads, if we stay up we are ok. If we go down we could be in trouble
Relegation will also be mitigated by relegation clauses cutting player costs - and there will be "player trading."
Yes, a "significant" amount of the £65 million debt from MSD will be repayable - but the accounts don't say what that "significant" amount will be.
Best that we wait and see where we finish the season. I'm sure we will learn how it impacts finances if the club doesn't finish higher than 18th.

Interesting interest rate is Libor + 8%. I might have to read up on how Libor is being replaced...

Bear in mind that probably £35m of that £50m is premier league money relating to the following season. If we were relegated we wouldn't be recieving that.RVclaret wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 6:36 pmThere has been a decrease of 30m of the 80m cash in the bank to leave 50m still.

We'd get some parachute payments, Chester probably has a better idea than I do of what they'd be. On the other hand wages would probably be much lower without a staying up bonus.

Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
Is the shares purchase on next years accounts as some item of other, now I'm not a shareholder I cannot be bothered going through them.
Re: Burnley Football Club - first accounts under ALK
Got it. So cash balance is ‘actually’ much less at around 15m.
So it seems to me, then, that relegation means player sales + cash balance to pay off a big chunk of the 65m loan. Is that your understanding?

Seem to recall CP suggested that losses would be £10-£20m during the COVID period (May have been revenue reductions vs profit). So, yes, very surprising.

Hang on. What date are the accounts to? Presumably the cash balance is the cash in the bank on that date?
I cannot believe accounts ending June 2021 include cash received for a 2022/23 season?

Almost certain that CP said the last thing about the £80m last year - it included some PL TV money & obviously some of that will be committed on future expenditure, as is normal for any business that receives all or part of its revenue up front. On a like for like basis, sounds like cash balances have reduced by £30m?Paul Waine wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 7:45 pmCash in bank is as at 31st July 2021.

- my view is that was primarily used for staged payments to the Sellers possibly the small shareholders
- I will also suggest that the £37m related company loan is made up of the original sum borrowed for the initial payment and a subsequent borrowing for a staged payment
note that VSL have now confirmed they have borrowed £47m from the club and placed the £65m MSD loan on the club with its interest payments being met by the club
elsewhere I note:
- we have only paid around £3m of the £12m for Collins
- cost of football (wages + amortisation/revenue) is over 93%
I am a little surprised at just how much I have been in the ball park in terms of the financial performance, and the takeover costs including size of MSD loan and the associated interest rate

So, all the work that Alan Pace is doing he's not taken a wage from Burnley - at least not for his first 7 months work.
