BFC Profits
BFC Profits
Can anyone enlighten me what happens to the profits we make year on year...possibly 90 million in the last 4 years. This aint tied to the transfer market link or having a go at the board or any other agenda, I just wondered if that 90 million was sat in a bank somewhere getting 2% interest a year ?...
Re: BFC Profits
Looks great if you ever want to sell, then the shareholders will receive great cash, great multiples on their initial outlay
If the club sold out for 100m, Mr Garkick would get around 50m. Not bad for someone who's worth is only 80m ( not in his bank )
Would mean hes nearly made as much in 6 years than he had in his lifetime, not bad for someone who hasn't actually put in any of his own money.
Great business man, and like most great business men money comes first, regardless of what football team you "support".

Look at the balance sheets since he took control.
There's no loans or cash injections from Mr Garkick...
He doesnt bank roll the club.

The OP wondered if the profits were sitting in a bank account somewhere, giving the impression that he thought it was.MACCA wrote:

Re: BFC Profits
you can tell the posters on here who dont understand finance, they think like my kids...
"but dad, you earn £30k/year, thats £2500/month - why cant you give me ONLY £200 for a pair of trainers..."
they dont get the fact that the £30k/year is subject to income tax/NI/pension etc; then I have to pay bills like mortgage/utilities/food etc; then there's running a car and the costs with that; then food; then after all that if I have any spare I might have some free for footy and the like. Yeah, of course son, here's £200 for some trainers...

Re: BFC Profits
It goes on transfer fees mostly. If we make £30m cash income and spend £30m on players, based on 4 year contracts, the accounts would show £22m profit but there wouldn't be any cash in the bank.ewanrob wrote:Can anyone enlighten me what happens to the profits we make year on year...possibly 90 million in the last 4 years.

Back in the day, player purchases were written off in full in the accounts. This was a lot clearer and easier to understand, but doesn't fit the high-up accountants' view of accounts. Accounts, to them, must be logical to the nth degree, even if that makes them less clear. One of these days I might restate the accounts (in round numbers) based on the old way of doing things. I reckon it would be more helpful.

Wow
Macca - I know you said that most people understand the difference between cash and profits - are you sure about this ? Do you ?
Based on what i’ve seen posted on this thread so far i’m not sure how many could understand how to get cash out of an ATM let alone read a set of accounts

Or think of it like you not earning it, you get given it.
Bit tight of you to be given a big lump sum and keep squirreling it away hoping that one day you make 10 fold because you've saved someone else's money, to make yourself more money.
Looks good

Reading some replies on here, it is a a good job being self employed isn't suitable for everyone.
Some people are much safer being told what their wage will be each week.

£24m in the bank was the figure Mike Garlick quoted a few months ago, believe it was confirmed by the release of the accounts.

You really think people dont understand how to get their cash out of a cash point?

Re: BFC Profits
Nothing to do with being sycophantic, it's almost incomprehensible that people can still insinuate that our directors haven't put money in/take out large benefits/bonuses.I see that has woken up the sycophants

Re: BFC Profits
I have often thought about the amount of tax we pay. Not being an accountant or really understanding these issues, I may not have the right idea.
However if for example we would have a tax bill of say £10 million, would it not be better to spend more on the club, players or infrastructure. By reducing profit surely we will then give less to the taxman and have some benefits without it actually costing anything.

Re: BFC Profits
ok, so what constitutes a profit.
Sky + commercial + season tickets + sponsorship = £130 million (guess)
Wages £65 million (guess)
other outgoings - Ground, training complex. N.I = £10 million
Players in 40 £ million incl wages
Player out £10 million
leaves £25 million, is that profit or cash in the bank...say we do the same 4 years running £100mm profit / cash in the bank
I'm clearly missing something & shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an ATM !!

You are missing quite a lot of things unfortunately.
It would be a very long answer to explain the difference between a balance sheet and a profit and loss account.
But cash in the bank is more about cash flow - if you got paid all the money owed to you and didn’t both paying any of the people you owe money to - you’d have a healthy cash bank balance...it doesn’t necessarily mean you are making a profit.
Your cash at the bank basically represents your cash flow position at that point in time. It doesn’t represent the value of your business as you may a lot more money than is owed to you.
Profit is in basic terms all your income less all your expenses - it’s more complicated than that in terms of net profit, gross profit, profit after tax, dividends etc but at the most basic level that’s what it is.
