Not sure this has been covered elsewhere but has anyone roughly worked out what our wage budget will is?
If we sell 2,000 per 'home' game (the upper reaches of what's possible) at an average of £11 a ticket the income from this will be £506,000 for the season.
I'm not 100% sure on the amount of money the club receives from TV and the FL this season but I do remember reading somewhere we received around £500,000 last season.
Merchandise sales wont be a lot but if the club sell 500 shirts at an average of £25 each that's £12,500. Can't imagine much more will be sold on top but for arguments sake I'll double it to £25,000.
Sponsorship/corporate income will be minimal and not really possible to put a value on.
F&B and parking is zero.
This equates to a turnover of £1,031,000.
We are allowed to spend 60% of this on the squad which is £618,600 or £11,896 per week which lets be honest is near as makes no difference nothing and pretty much confirms the rumour that Baker, Murphy and Clarke have been told to leave. In fact I'd hazard a guess that the Broad Street 5 would blow this figure on their own (GM - 6, SJ - 2.5, Malaga - 1.5, WE - 1.5, CD - 1.5).
I havent included things such as a big cup away day as we'd have to win at least 2 games in either competition and tbh I can't see that happening. Even if we did win two games there's no guarantee we'd get a Spurs or Arsenal again.
This becomes even more apparent when you take out SCMP and just consider other costs. £260,000 for rent, £200,000-250,000 for coaching staff, office staff £60,000-100,000, VAT and other HMRC, the Academy, insurance, accountancy ect. This is all before Fisher and Labovitch are paid!
Have I missed something or is this about right?
