More redundancies at club

[bertlambshank]

They do.

Indeed. I used to go to a lot of Science Fiction conventions with work, and even the fairly small ones could get the run of most of the hotel pretty cheap. Hotel rooms would be well below the usual price, conference rooms were dirt cheap and it was because of the bar takings.

Weddings are even worse where I work 2 grand all in.

Frozen unicorns' tears are only available for the 1%, if I remember correctly.

Public Sector 'golden pensions' have been dismembered to pay for some of the damage done by the investment banker terrorists.

This was a pubic service announcement.

You are required on the redundancies thread.

Thank you.

Did you ever do Starfury events? The bar takings would be huge.

The wages to Turnover ratio has come right down its almost at 50 percent now . Club looking to break even this year operationally . Haven't got a clue what our budget is but like most of the clubs other than the usual suspects unlikely we are going to be doing anything like we did of the Bent magnitude.

Still see more high earners going out and replaced with hungrier something to prove types .

It's hard to see how we could possibly have reduced wages to turnover that much, that quickly.

[PeterWithesShin]

Does seem a big fall, but we have to remember that over the last couple of years the likes of Young A, Downing, Heskey, Milner, NRC, Collins, Young L, Curtis, Sidwell, Carew, Big Brad, Carlos, Bouma, Shorey have all gone. That's probably a large percentage of our top earners in there.

I also wonder what happens with Stan's wages. I'm guessing insurance pays them? Not sure whether they would be included in the figures though.

No, by the time I worked there we didn't do media cons.

I'd be very surprised indeed if that was the case.

We have lost more players than we've gained over the past couple of seasons.

Someone could work out how many and their wages (approx) over the past 2 years and we could have a guess

I'd imagine, Ireland, Bent, Dunne, Given and Agbonlahor are up there with our highest earners.

Sounds like utter bollocks to me.

I'm not biting.

I'd also concur with the comments on the wage-to-turnover ratio.  Man United's is about 45% on revenue of over three times ours.  50% would have only them and Arsenal in a better position.  Very hard to believe in such a short space of time given where our ratio had got to.

I'm not certain but I think insurance only pays up a contract is a player's career is ended. Otherwise I suppose you could have clubs claiming that players such as Beye who aren't getting a game were always 'injured'.

In Beye's case we should have taken out 'if player is lazy and shit insurance'.
