Great game

Wtf Leicester

That's reassuring.

So 33% of all of our income is going to siphoned off to yet another corporate entity.

Large percentages of it are already corporate

This is the bit I don't understand. But I also note that we are building a new stand which will be 10's of millions annually during the construction, and yet our debt has once again gone down. The costs of the stand build doesn't seem to jump out as an exceptional item somewhere and yet we must be paying for it with cahs, as opposed debt. I would have throught it might have been visible for example with extra debt etc. Therefore I wonder if the costs of the stand build have been put into this category? I note our EBITA is very strong, which as I understand is the main value of a business i.e. the actual cash flow being close to 100m. I'm not an accountant so please feel free to correct me.

looks like they have paid a further 20m off the bank debt. And the inter company loans remains the same.

Have the accounts actually been released ? Or is all the info/speculation arising out of the clubs release yesterday which was lacking in substance?

Unless the balloon in operations is due to paying debt/paying for the Anny Road which case is understandable. Although we would disagree with the need to be paying it, we would say that, that money should be spent on transfers. The question is; why the massive increase in operational costs? Are they exceptional (debt payment/Stadium builds) or are the every day running costs out of control?

And Man U have less income than us, higher debt/servicing costs, make more profit, and blow us out of the water with transfers fees. Although I accept they made a significant loss last time. Generally they spend a lot more than us.

Because if they make no profit the money must be going somewhere. It's not gone towards transfers, so where has it gone? Why are our costs so high? Is it wages, or paying debt off? If its paying the debt off, then once paid, that means there should be a lot of money to spend on transfers. If it's going towards wages, why are they so high? Are they high in comparison? We are being left behind, because we are frugal. But if being frugal produces no profit, then their is a problem. I agree it's low, with low interest by comparison, but its still around £270m. If we have paid 150m of the debt, resulting 7.5m profit, then sooner or later there is another 150m/270m to be spent annually on transfers once the debt has gone.

7.5m profit is very poor. Hopefully its because we have been paying the loans off. If they are paying the debt off, once its gone the clubs value will be very high. I wonder if that's the strategy.

It beggars belief that man.

Does anyone know what happened to the fella getting CPR after the match. I was walking from the Kop to the King Harry. He was on the floor getting assistance. Lots of stewards doing a great job. A car ambulance arrived shortly after. I've seen nothing in the news so God willing he made a recovery.
