Bill 1,788 Posted March 9, 2019 It is often the case on here that some of the 'not too bright' over excite themselves when I question figures that are not only bandied about, but accept as gospel. when it comes to transfer fees. So this might add to that excitement " Ipswich spent just £436,000 on players in 2017/18 and had player sales of £4.1 million. Total spending in last 7 years is £7.3 million and sales are £22.5 million " https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/454874/full-accounts-published/#27 Scroll down and click on a blue twitter link - Elder Grizzly, 10.54am Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,948 Posted March 9, 2019 In 7 years worth of player sales, the cumulative total isn't worth one James Maddison or both the Murphys 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted March 9, 2019 The question is what happened to that £14m difference ? Was it used to meet any shortfall, and then dressed up as Evans loaning the club money ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 495 Posted March 9, 2019 The 2018/2019 accounts should look better. After all Agent Lambert had a £10 million war chest to spend in the January window. 😐 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,431 Posted March 9, 2019 Rumour has it in these parts that the point at The Hawthorns could see an open top bus parade , and another star on their shirts. 1 win in 9 home games for WBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 700 Posted March 9, 2019 Benjamin Bloom has done a series of interviews on YouTube with a financial whizz, talking about parachute payments and their effect on the Championship. He also talks about Marcus Evans and his contribution to 1p5wich over the last 10 years. Well worth a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was it used to meet any shortfall, and then dressed up as Evans loaning the club money ? The obvious answer is that Ipswich spent more money on wages alone than the total amount they brought in from tv and gate money. That isn't sustainable unless you get promoted. If you leave the division in the other direction it becomes a huge problem. There is a suggestion in the thread that the combined cost of 3 players was only £400k. I suspect that figure is actually the written down value of those players at the accounting date, not the amount they originally cost. The new financial fair play rules are going to give them a problem next season. They probably need to halve their salary budget which means moving on poor players on good contracts. As we've found in the last couple of years that isn't easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
