If his aim is maximising profits rolling the dice on us staying up would be a big gamble.
We've been on an upward trajectory for nearly a decade, going to be difficult to keep it going.

It will also be when interest in taking the club on should be at its peak, it'd be a top flight club complete with its own stadium complex. That and the running costs in the Prem are on another level entirely to the Championship and while he's a successful businessman he probably doesn't have the funds needed to sustain the club if we managed to stay in it for a few seasons.

Whole different set of challenges
He’s very exacting in what he wants hence the changes within the running of the club in his time here
Made many fabulous decisions and very few mistakes

Maybe a stupid question, but do accounts have to be made public? If so, showing to what extent you are in debt opens you up to undermining offers for key assets.

Some interesting loss figures for other lesser clubs. Have they got anyone that we might be interested in for such a tactic on our part?

All companies have to submit annual accounts available to the public. Depending on the size of the company, you can limit what you show although all companies have to show a balance sheet (which will show debts).

As most football clubs are seen as ‘large’ companies, they also have to disclose the profit and loss figures for the period.

Got to trust that as and when the time comes to pass the club on, it goes to people with a similar ethos, just more resources.

I’m very happy to accept that he’s done very very well
Not just in the lucky bits - results etc but in a whole host of other ways

He nearly hit the absolute jackpot in 2023 having spent a minimal amount to nearly have a top flight club fall into his lap. Over these 3 years the club just looks and feels so much more professional than it was before, and he's driven a lot of that.

All slanted by a huge purple patch in terms of results over 18 months but that’s probably always the case and a bit of a no brainer

I thought I'd heard that they were changing requirements in the Companies Act now so even some small companies would need to publish a P&L account

Our wage:turnover ratio has also improved by a couple of points as well.

Not too bad all told - heavily reliant on Doug continuing to fund (which we all knew) and if we’d have sold Van Ewijk we’d have been near breakeven after allowing for depreciation/amortisation.

Must have been some big payouts to sack Robins and his coaching team. Says operating loss increased by £3.5m and that is mainly due to 'a restructure within the Football Department carried out in November 2024'

Imagine how much some of premiership merry-go-round managers get. Ange' must have made a fortune being sacked by Forest and Spurs.
