I'd wait for the commentary from people well versed in football finances before soaking my slacks, not youtubers or dickheads like you lot. 

Selling players was inevitable upon getting relegated, again why are we surprised at this 'news'? If we stay up by some minor miracle then we have enough assets to be able to keep a couple of gooduns but even so, we're a shit team, how good are they in reality? Fuck em. 

Takashi numbnut ranting about Kilman, Taty and Pablo - these signings are not the problem, in fact Taty and Pablo have been very positive - the damage was done in the Pellegrini and Moyes eras with signings like Anderson, Haller, Vlasic, Scamacca, Benrahma, JWP and undoubtedly tens of others. Short term self centred managers, thinking about today and not tomorrow and getting it wrong - and the hopeless daft cunts running the club allowing them to do it. We aint even seeing the impact of the disastrous Kilman signing yet. That cսnt is a millstone around our necks that will hang around like the bad AIDS. But we're yet to fully enjoy the consequences of that one. 

I'm up for a few years in the championship, bin off the mercenaries, get the youth in. Fuck the accounts, fuck the board and fuck all your fucking mothers.

They have kept kicking the can down the road in the hope that a Conservative mayor gets back in and gives them the stadium and site for practically nothing.

No doubt this is what Boris promised them in the first place when they did the deal to sell the old ground.

The only trouble with that is there is absolutely no way they are getting a mayor back in that favours their little plan anytime in the near future which leaves them somewhat in a quandary doesn't it?

As far as I can see online the sale hasn't gone through yet. Perhaps their low league position, is causing the sale to stall? If it goes through before the end of this May, then it will be in the next set of accounts.

As far as I know, the sale of the women's team would have been a Chelsea like manouevre to circumvent PSR regulations. If PSR no longer applies then the sale is no longer an imperative as it is not relevant to Squad Cost Ratios.

Speaking of Chelsea, didn't they lose £355m in 2024/25? That's quite impressive.

Hard to believe that this squad, which is the thinnest it’s been in recent years and we are in this financial situation.

not really hard to believe when they've (allegedly, I struggle to believe it) paid out close to £100m for three ordinary players like kilman, taty and pablo (and there's loads more) since they turned up at the club. kilman on a fucking seven year deal, a goalkeeper with dinosaur arms that we didn't need at the time, a muscle bound spanish sumo that has zero ability other than lifting weights & throwing midgets. auditors/fraud people should have been brought in a long time ago, but it's probably happening at most clubs so they're not going to want the gravy train to end anytime soon

You managed to shoehorn a dig at Traore even though the outlay on him is minimal and clearly it was Nuno who told the owners he had to have him, pretty pathetic that to be fair. So you don't rate the player, boo hoo, get over it for fucks sake!

and £100k+ a week isn't fucking minimal when you have productive kids like Ajala, etc that have yet to sign deals, but keep rimming the fantasy island cսnt. there's a good Manuel

So this Summer regardless, Summerville and Fernandes will go. Probably Diouf too.

Replaced by lesser, 'hopeful' signings and ever declining squad quality....until the season where that doesn't pay off and we go down. Maybe it's this year. Maybe next....or the one after. But it's coming.
