Fox is the 6th highest paid Director in the Premier League, the mind boggles.

God bless him. He loses money and we lose our Premier League status. He's fuckin useless.

I've read every word of this thread and bow to the expertise of the accountants and business analysts amongst you.  However, as a football fan, it all makes me yearn for a simpler time when the only figures that mattered were 2 points for a win, we've won in 7 times, Co. Durham, 5' 7".

Cheers for clarifying risso. Not seen the accounts myself as yet, and this year is probably the first that I'd actually understand them better (studying accountancy).

The thing that's abundantly clear then, is that there has always been money, and Randy happily props us up regularly, it's just has been let down by not putting a strong structure in place within the club to succeed. As each year passes, the argument that MON spent all the money becomes weaker too.

I have no sympathy whatsoever. He's a mug with a lot of inheritance money.

Me too, it's all a bit over my head.

One thing though it's very clear Randy has spent money but has made a complete mess of the running of the club. If only from day one he had some advice and put in place a decent team to run things from the top and a structure if a manager doesn't quite work out.

I don't feel sorry for him and I don't hate him. He hasn't done it on purpose but you have to question his leadership skills.

Far too much has been spent for far too long on parasites like N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor et al. We've got such little value for money.

Thanks Risso!
Does any one still think that the Championship will be a walk in the park next season?

I think we are in a terrible mess financially and these results will make the squad re-build very difficult if not impossible.
We could be gone for a very long time.

Half a billion dollars he's effectively paid for a Championship club.

A lot of underperforming people, managment and players, have made a lot of money.

What do you reckon this does to the valuation?
