2025-2026 Season Budget (2 Viewers)

SkyBlueSteve81 · Monday at 11:48 AM

So, what do people think the budget will be for Frank to take us forward again? I am purely speculating here but this is how I see it:

Season Ticket Sales - My ST is £500 as one of the first season Doug did the Premier Package with prices frozen for 4 years or something. I know the number will probably be more than 17,500 but with the different cost for children, OAP's etc I have used 17,500 as an average:
17,500 ST @ £500 = £8,750,000.

Gyokeres sell on - Lets assume he goes for the £60,000,000 that is rumored, our 10% equates to £4,000,000. We then have to give Brighton 15% of that:
£3,400,000

Player Sales - Lets assume a couple of players do more on for reasonable fees:
£10,000,000

Total = £22,150,000 - That is without Doug putting his hand in his pocket at all so maybe push it up nearer to £25,000,000.

Would that be enough?

There are operating costs that need to be accounted for so I would expect the budget for recruitment to be a lot lower.

I'd assume there would be in the region of £10-15m to spend.

Saddlebrains · Monday at 11:58 AM

Fuck me

Robinshio · Monday at 11:58 AM

and VAT so your £500 ST is only £417+VAT

Kingokings204 · Monday at 12:02 PM

Depends who we sell really. We know roughly how much ST we would get and maybe Vik going but the big money is player sales.

MVE and wright both could command 10m plus. I think we are stuck with simms and rudoni would only leave if 20+ plus is offered.

Frankly_Mr_Shankly · Monday at 12:03 PM

Add the Sales of Collins, Bidwell, Sheaf, Wright, BTA and Simms to that please

Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon · Monday at 12:13 PM

I'd expect it to be largely determined by players sales, we run at a loss so i can't see significant fees being paid without a relevant amount incoming from a sale. MVE, Wright, Simms, BTA have all been mentioned for moves so it could be a fair bit of money, especially if moves come early in the window.

skybluecam · Monday at 12:19 PM

Just not how football clubs, or any business at all works is it?

This isn't football manager

Marty · Monday at 12:24 PM

Think we'll generate about 30 mill. Lampard given in the region of 20 mill to improve the squad.

How much will that add to the budget mate?

shmmeee · Monday at 12:26 PM

Ballpark figures:

Wright and MvE - £20m
Sheaf and fringe players -£6-10m
Vik - £4m

ST sales, TV money, etc will go on wages which is where we are behind the top of the division, whether we can increase that will determine how much we can upgrade more than the fees we bring in I reckon.

stgeorge1966 · Monday at 12:35 PM

Don't forget Shelagh's pay rise

Sky Blue Goblin · Monday at 12:41 PM

Ignoring operating costs, maintenance and wages there. I’m sure the club will have a decent amount but probably no point us trying to work it out. Lots of variables

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Monday at 12:48 PM

Most of that will be on operating costs and wages and bonuses rather than to sign players

Wages for staff - ground repairs - Ryton upkeep - tax payments etc all need to come off any income before we have a transfer budget to spend . Ultimately none of us ever will know but my guess would be he will get a high percentage of what we bring in plus Gyokeres money and no more

Domo · Monday at 12:59 PM

i dont think ST sales has any real impact to transfer budget at all.

Not this again. I am sick to death of the various calculations about the Vik sell on money

It was 1/3rd of club turnover in the last accounts, since then ticket sales have improved.

Viktor17 · Monday at 3:54 PM

Roll on the season, some utter wild posts here.

we are loosing money year on year, this is not football manager. We have to sell players, to have any budget.

Alkhen · Monday at 4:47 PM

Also have to factor in Binks second year pay bump from 35k to 55k p/w

Cally Fedora · Monday at 6:31 PM

He’ll probably have around £20m but to get that it will mean he has to replace MVE and Wright. You’d get a top notch RB for 3-5m. Main chunk on a striker. Then any other bits in equals other bits out.

What are the operating costs?
Wages
Ground rent
Training ground costs
Transport and accommodation
Agents fees
Groundsman costs
Electricity costs
On going transfer add ons
Performance bonuses
The list goes on and on!
In reality we are probably running at a loss.

Did your non-returnable outgoings for the first half of the year exceed your deductions for quarterly VAT return?

We definitely run at a loss

StrettoBoy · Monday at 8:29 PM

In the financial period ended 31st May 2024 the club made a net profit of £8,688,193.

It would have been a sizeable loss but for the profit of £23,678,475 on player sales.

It’s all here:

blunted · Monday at 10:32 PM

Think we are going to get screwed on the CBS rental deal which will have a knock on effect on our transfer budget,
What will be important is where we are in terms of other teams in the league.
The relegated sides, the playoff final losing side, Stoke, Birmingham, Wrexham and possibly Derby due to their gates may have higher incomes than us. Not sure if the Hull owners are still pumping in cash.
Income does not always equal success, but it goes a long way.
This is why DK is looking for more investment.

Lamps · 2025-05-20T07:47:51+0100

We're in a better position than most Championship sides as we don't have debt that has to be paid back and have a squad worth a lot of money and under contract for at least 2 years. But the vast majority run at a loss and we're included in this.

Hiw deep are King's pockets? How much more is he willing to put in? What players are getting sold? Without knowing any of this it would be difficult to guess anything.

Don't we still have another two seasons on the initial license agreed when Frasers got the stadium? So surely bumping the rent up would not have any effect yet?
