We look at the first team, the squad we now have is bigger than we have had in a long time. Then a brand new development squad, and although they are paid "peanuts" according to DC I bet we pay their rents AND the hundred and one coaches we now have, and yet we still buy players in.
and we wonder where the money goes

We better all buy an extra 50/50 ticket, programme, pint, pasty and pop in the club shop v Northampton (and order a table for Mothers Day) and we can soon spend our way out of a crisis!
Remember those posters around the ground v Grimsby following relegation? Something like 4000 fans x 25 games x 1 (more) pint at the Mem (rather than ROSE supporting pubs) = 300k.
We just need to buy 7 or 8 pints at the Mem per match, plus a few chasers and we got it covered!

Certain irony in the title of this thread. If you think of the Mem. there's not much to stop those losses.

If the club gave our best players better clauses in their contracts in favour of the club there wouldn’t be a loss Taylor & bodins should of covered that loss easily Have you suggested this to the club? They might not have considered this.

As it stands our home attendences are 400ish down compared to last season. In the great scheme of things not a huge dent in turnover but if were losing fans thats a real worry Last season we had Sheffield United and Bolton, plus a local fixture with Swindon. We haven't played the likes of Charlton or Blackburn at home yet, who im sure will bring sizeable away followings. I don't think we're losing fans.

Mods Can we rename this thread "Fact-less Speculation through the roof"? But it's facts from this year's annual accounts, £2m annual losses and £900K write off against the UWE, pretty much what was expected anyway.

Just a piece of gentle reassurance; Mr Al Quadi has undertaken to support the club for the next 12 months.
I believe the accounts said the same last year.
Tends to suggest the family are in for the long haul, there wouldn't be much point in running the debt to equal the value of assets then bailing out. That would be totally contrary to any sort of business sense, something I believe this family have in abundance.
Keep the faith and UTG!

900K written off on the UWE debacle but this is so wrong with the crowds we’re getting.
