He also said how crap FF is as doesn't do what it's intended to do. FFA protects the bigger clubs that's what it's there for. We have to be realistic....Dr Tony may be a billionaire but he isn't going to keep on pumping in 50m + season in season out for us to keep finishing mid table in the championship. We need to get promoted sooner rather than later....I personally think it's a must next year. If we don't go up then very difficult times ahead I think and could define the next 10 years. For once it would be nice if the team could deliver on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did, it maybe worked well, so either way, something to change the status of his time here from total unmitigated disaster to, er, almost total unmitigated disaster My post wasn't really a defence of him nor Randy Lerner for appointing him in the wrong position.

I know. I was just identifying that it wasn't him who was the commercial bod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as CEO he oversaw all aspects of the club, including commercial which no doubt he took a keen interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Good stuff from Wyness. That's what I was getting at the other day when I said it'd be helpful if the Club commented on the figures. Puts to bed any worries and confirms we are in good hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The only worry I have is that the "calculated gamble" of investmentin players and wages is set to promotion. Promotion this (ship sailed) season, latest next season. All in the hands of Steve Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Birmingham mail have pointed out that Tom Fox was paid £2.9 million last year. That seems like an awful lot of money for someone who played a significant part in our relegation. Lerner truly was a **** idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Since the accounts were released on the Companies House website yesterday, here's a more detailed breakdown of the accounts. 2016 2015 Total Revenue (excluding player sales)- £108.816M £115.692M Profit on player sales- £34.764M £375K Player Amortisation- £16M £19.6M Total Wages- £93M £83.7M Worth noting that we never made a profit under Lerner. Infact, we made total losses of £332M. Staggering. Breakdown of wages for all the teams to have released their 15-16 accounts: 1- Man U- £232M 2- Chelsea- £222M 3-Liverpool- £208M 4-Man City- £198M 5- Arsenal- £195M 6- Villa- £93M 7- Everton- £84M 8- West Ham- £83M 9- Stoke- £82M 10- WBA- £74M 11- Norwich- £67M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 8th biggest payers in the league and yet 3 wins from 38 games- shameful!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just goes to show that spending money is not just the answer. I guess our form this season backs that up as well. Amazing how badly we've performed, how shit our players have been and how much we've paid for the pleasure of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe wages should be largely results related and the incentives to succeed will reward them - paying huge wages whatever the result is no incentive.

Make the wIn bonuses bigger and the added huge bonuses based on league position and they could earn more if they believe they are good enough. the fact we paid £30k plus to most players with 3 wins in a whole season really angers me - this club has become a place to go for easy money .

Rather hungry ambitious players who know the rewards are great for achieving results than someone here for the money whatever the result . of course that's how in the ideal world it may be but sadly most players are in in for the cash and you are right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
