Funny that Masters is never available for comments in the Citeh charges.

Not sure what he would be allowed to say with an independent procedural process going on currently.

[Percy McCarthy]

He’s a Villa fan isn’t he?

[eamonn]

Yep, the treacherous twonk.

[PaulWinch again]

Ah another summer of being able to do nothing then.

[PaulWinch again]

Just had a quick skim read of the report for those interested (and if you’re on this thread I assume you are). Ranking places based on top 25 clubs, figures in €.

Total Revenue up 37% from 322m to 441m (up 6 places in rankings to 13th). “Revenue among the top 25 clubs remains polarised,
with a €350m gap between the eighth and 13th clubs, Manchester United and Aston Villa FC.”

Domestic TV revenue up 2% from 199m to 203m. (Down 2 places in rankings from 4th to 6th).

Hospitality revenue up 58% from 46m to 73m (up 11 places in rankings to 15th).

Commercial revenue up 46% from 56m to 81m (up 16 places in rankings to 22nd).

Kit & Merch up 349% from 6m to 26m (up 37 places in rankings to 23rd)

UEFA Revenue up from 16m to 84m

OPEX up 100% 73m to 146m. (Up 16 places in rankings to 13th).

Losses down to 97m from 100m

Wages up 6% from 293m to 309m. (Down 1 place in rankings to 11th).

Number of staff up from 609 to 743. (Up 4 places in rankings to 16th).

How is Op Ex up so much?!

I'm sure UEFA will punish them just as severely as they did Barcelona.

Dunno. Suppose earning more from bigger crowds, commercial, hospitality, merch etc costs money in terms of marketing and staff.

[PaulWinch again]

That’s an enormous increase though.

[Tuscans]

Man Utd, only £533 million though.

"Latest documents filed in New York show that Manchester United have £777 million of borrowings, of which £295 million is due within one year, and owes £422 million in transfer fee instalments, of which £238 million is due within one year"

[Goldenballs]

Bit of a pisser this.

Miss out on champions league and in the summer we'll be left eyeing the last few options everyone else rejected. Like me on broad St at 4am.

[eamonn]

Join Unai and the buxom ladies in Lichfield wine bars.

[Ozzjim]

Surely £55m of the losses are already mitigated with the sales of Malen and Guessand, both of whom appear to be nailed on to join Roma and Palace come the end of the season.

Incoming and outgoing transfer fees are split over three years under SCR.

I’m getting ‘why didn’t Barry take the penalty?’ vibes.

[aj2k77]

Operating expenses increasing by £73m is very strange. Shenanigans?
