AGM - Protest

[avfcdale]

In both of the last 2 seasons Everton received approx £12.5m more than us in PL prize money.

So that leaves us with around a £10m shortfall compared to Evertons turnover. More surprising is a complete nothing club like Southampton
 now have a higher turnover than us.

No way Southampton can be compared to Everton

According to reports from both clubs, turnover in 2014 was Southampton £106m, us £117m.

2014/15 list on the deloitte website shows them as 149.5m Euros and us at 148.8m Euros.

It's down to them receiving £14m more than us in prize money last season, so while it's crap, it's hardly surprising.

Were Fox and Hollis sat together?

Foxhollis  a suburb of Birmingham all together in one place!

Pretty much yes. At that last debt conversion, there was some pretty blunt statement about this was the last £90M outstanding. Around the same time there was something from Robin Russell along the lines of the club being pretty much self sufficient for day to day operations.

Just done some digging and this Guardian article http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/29/premier-league-finances-club-by-club from April 2015 states that 'Lerner wrote off £90m loans, leaving £86m still owed to him'. I'm not convinced there has been any further conversion of loans to equity after the 90m mentioned here, I thought that was part of the reason we've been having problems selling the club?

That must be the one I'm thinking off.  My memory is obviously not what it was.

45 years old.
Doctor tells me I've got the knees of a 70 year-old earlier in the week.
Now it appears that I'm developing the memory of a 90 year old.

Ayew is hit and miss even though he seems to be one of the better ones.

Oh, so it is possible after all to say that some things are better than others?

You trying to back up Denmark's suggestion that we've had bright spots this season, because I'm not going to agree with that, you know that don't you? It's been bloody woeful and well you know it.

It's very flattering that you think I speak on behalf of a sovereign state, and the world's oldest direct line of descent monarchy, but I personally wouldn't be that presumptuous. Added to which I don't think more than a few hundred out of a population of 6M would actually give a shit.

Hmm, that's probably another indication of how low we've fallen.

If Troooels Hartmann agrees with you that's good enough for me.

They had the great sell-off of summer 2014 too (Lallana, Lovren, Lambert and possibly other L-shaped players to L-iverpool).

Something rotten in the state of Denmark?
Probably, but that's 21st century western democracies for you. Either that or eating 3 apples this afternoon after meatballs for lunch was not a good idea.

Something rotten in Foxhollis?
I can't remember, is that blose territory?

It's now a Lidl.

I'd like to think given the massive head start on them and with them being declared bankrupt twice in the last few years that If we had been run anywhere near decent we should be head and shoulders above them.

Player sales aren't included in turnover for these purposes.
