The Holte Pub must be worth a few quid.

Increase revenue, maintain salaries, percentage of wages to revenue decreases. As we've massively increased revenue, job jobbed.

Exactly. Get ready for all the ‘we must reduce costs’ podcasts/tweets/articles now.

I mean, I know they’re football journalists trying to talk about financial stuff, but you’d think some of them would at least have a basic grasp of maths.

They don't have to or need to, the inconclusive noise is preferable for generating clicks and content, the truth is too boring.

Good points, as ever.

Indeed. And it’s a hotel by the way.

Just had a twitter-spat with someone saying our revenue ceiling is £300m. I replied that our revenue for last season is £360m+.

The geezer replied ‘you won’t be in the UCL every year, don’t know about hotels though’.

I said ‘we’re building one and we own one, and we’re building a 3,500 cap live venue.’

So we haven’t ‘breached’ after all. Nice one.  We can park this nonsense until next June.

Yep well said chaps and what snake oil salesmen like Borson do is run through all the possible scenarios without deliverig any actual genuine insight or analysis. Then when the event happens he claims to have predicted it without admitting he actually forecast every possible scenario.

This could well be the last year of PSR.

It was supposed to transition to SCR this season already. Postponed by at least one season.

Not that it will change the status quo in any meaningful way anyway.

I said ‘we’re building one and we own one, and we’re building a 3,500 cap live venue.’

However, if we sell it, we're selling the future revenue from that.

Maybe, but most likely a peppercorn rent for matches with the club taking all of the profits and the revenue for non football activities going to the 'owners'.

Here’s another classic:

With insight like that.
He needs to sort out his dandruff first before espousing on the state of our finances.

A different kind of nonsense awaits instead then!? Marvellous!

Unfortunately not. In that video it's all over his shirt.

That bloke irritates me a bit. He seems far to long in the tooth to be doing the whole YouTube self-publicising thing.
