It’s pretty dispiriting losing so much money and still being uncompetitive

Well, those accounts covered last season when we came up, so I guess you could argue it worked.  This current year's accounts are going to make pretty grim reading though.

I would have thought they would not be as bad proportionately.
And that revenue would out accelerate wage growth.

Wonder what our transfer strategy will be if we go down. I assume it will be to go for reasonably proven but still young championship players like Joe Lolley and Eze of QPR who reminds me a bit of Grealish way he plays.

Players who can get us promoted and also have potential to play in premier league like Jarred Bowen.

Plus O’Hare, Ramsey and Green. I don’t want it to happen for all the reasons we’ve mentioned a million times but should the worst happen we’d be in a way better position than we were last time.

The cumulative losses for the past 5 years must be eye watering.

O'Hare should certainly get a chance. He's been talked about long enough and done fine at Coventry. Not sure on Green, think we'll sell him.

Louie Barry aswell will probably get chances in the early rounds of league cup so could well force his way into the 18 during the season.

How can a medium sized company keep making these losses year after year, we must have a very understanding bank

Over a million pound per week loss, that is staggering - and yet we continue to pay over the top wages and bonus's - Other clubs seem to make a profit - when was the last time we did?

No other business would continue to make losses and keep going.

We have very rich owners, why would we need an understanding bank?

We were promoted last season and fighting to stay in the PL this season. We’re very much where a lot of people expected us to be really. Stay up then become more competitive hopefully.

If our owners are pouring the amount of money into us to keep us compliant with FFP with the premier league - then if we are relegated we will be in real trouble.

They must be mad, because there is no way they will get there investment back if they decided to sell.

There's a thread on a Bristol City forum that I glance at everytime a financial statement comes out about us. Looks like its attracted a couple of Villa fans too (anybody off here?).

It's basically the internet equivalent of a child jumping up and down saying it's not fair!!!

A site called OTIB and in the FPP thread.

Those few years in the Championship were odd, there are some weird as fuck clubs down there, Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday developed gigantic hard ons over us.

That’s probably why they won’t sell then, unless they take advice from that idiot Lerner.
