Rather interested in your Anti Delia Brigade take on things which i assume you see as a reincarnation of something along the lines of NCISA so do you think any new group will sponsor a player for 13 years, provide equipment for the Academy, buy shares as was done at the last share issue which added together came to an excess 0f £50,000 over the years ?

Duncan Edwards 2,231 Posted November 22, 2018 In fairness Tilly, you did say that you were headhunted; it’s not like somebody else has made it up to have a pop at you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted November 22, 2018 Never denied it Duncan but that expression was also used on a Twatter account together with saying i was on an ego trip. No intention to give it the Billy Big Bollox at all as we have discussed this several times in a lighthearted manner but it looks like Mr Sewell wishes to make it personal. I am a seeker of the truth Duncan,some might say a sort of Truthseeker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted November 22, 2018 If I can help out there - a quick summary of the meeting: Crisis! NCFC in financial ruin! Ben Dack says NCFC will be 5 million in the red by the end of the season! Ben Kensell essentially says they achieved nothing of importance in the last year! Kensell also said they know the Leo Vegas contract is immoral, but they paid the most money! Ed Balls said we can only hope to keep Farke and Webber, so perhaps the fans can ask them to stay! There is a new video with the usual marketing gumpf about values / working together etc of course! Zoe Ward says the club express concerns about new Sky deal! Farke says the next two candidates to take penalties both missed in practice! Farke says Buendia takes all the throw ins as he's too short to receive the ball himself! Webbers says they have NO plan for Promotion! Webber also says they have no funds to strengthen squad and he's off to Spain! Webber says if anyone wants to bid on Tim Klose in January, please do so! Ed Balls says fans can safely stand outside the ground so it not necessary to do it inside! Michael essentially admitted the club had been run secretly in the past as "the Club needs transparency"! Delia says everything is a dream come true! Best comment of the night - Webber says we will remove the away team changing room! OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Spanton 1 Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) The £5m cash flow deficit is not a great surprise but the £21.3m forecast loss for the current year was a bit of a shock. This would suggest that costs remain stubbornly high and it is proving difficult to make savings necessary under the self funding model. The figures as presented in the slides do not give a lot away but the 'other costs' are far too high at £17.1m. When we consider that forecast turnover is £28.9m, this leaves only £11.8m for as a 'football department' budget assuming no profit or loss. I would like to see the football cost to other cost equation the other way around. Player sales will clearly play a part but would we be selling players to boost the playing squad or to pay for non-football related costs? A figure of £1.4m was quoted as player trading costs. This gives us a clue as to whether any player sales are expected. If there were no player sales I would have expected the player trading figure to be approx. £6m, which represents amortisation only. The figure of £1.4m may suggest a profit on disposal of player(s) of c£4.6m has been included in the forecast. Given our current good form it would be nice to think that we could complete this season without having to sell players. Comments from the board/management at the AGM would support this. A worse than expected financial forecast for the current season and specific numbers presented yesterday suggest that player sales may have to happen sooner than hoped. Unless we are promoted of course. Edited November 23, 2018 by Andrew Spanton spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
