They have cash at the bank rather than an overdraft.

Results out this morning. They lost half a mill last season, equivalent to how much our Tony subsidised the Albion during 2015/16.

Yup I know. Suspect Fat Sam was getting his excuses in shoul he have failed to make any signings though, and blame it on FFP instead.

Leicester's income of £31m in 2013/14 compares well to the £19m they generated (whilst also in the Championship) in 2012/13. The increase was due to the club signing an agreement with a company called Trestellar, who managed to triple commercial income from £5m to £15m with some sponsorship...

Grow up.

Allardyce himself mentioned the wage ceiling in January as being an issue preventing him recruiting.

A lot of the figures are very erratic because of the way that player sale profits are booked. Collectively that generated £244 million of profit for PL clubs. I'm just trying to point out that those who think that TB will get a return on his investment IF we are promoted are wrong, although at...

£8 million cash in the bank. Best to file under #EesComplicated

I have no issue with what Palace pay their executives. Paul Barber is a professional football administrator though.

The Premier League being paved with profits is a myth. Research by a football finance DULLARD at some university or other has revealed that 15 Premier League clubs have to date reported their results for last season. Together those clubs generated revenue of just over £3 billion, paid out of...

They owed over £11 million to other clubs for transfer fees last summer.

They seem to run a reasonably tight ship and broke even in the last year for which I can find records. There's no one to lend them money at present, as they are a community club, so cannot spend beyond their means any more...unless the ex head of Disney, Michael Eisner, decides to pursue his...

It's proceeds less book value of the registration. Example: Sign a player for £20m on a four year contract, and sell him at end of year two for £14 million. Gain in accounts is £14m less (20 x 2/4) = £4 million profit, even though it seems to be a loss of £6 million to fans.

It's true, he did drink pints of whisky, Mark McGhee, Mark McGhee.

You are effectively getting a tax break which can be carried forward against future profits. In the 2016/17 accounts you will also have the benefit of about £2.5m from a Mr T Pulis, and, setting aside rivalries, I'm delighted that you won that case. I do have a very interesting tale about the...

Correct, but for that you get...

As any expert knows, it is common practice to discuss pre-tax profits and losses, which is where the difference of £1.4 million arises. The vagaries of the tax system create inconsistencies in the reported figures.

Amortisation (£18m) and impairment (£2m) of player registrations. If they sign a player for (say) £10m on a four year contract then each year 1/4 of the transfer fee is charged as an expense to the profit and loss account.

I wouldn't like to guess. There are some unusual transactions with companies controlled by the directors though. One is called Smoke and Mirrors Ltd (controlled by Parish) which rents some property to Palace for £78,000, and the other sold wine for £58,000 (presumably for hospitality etc) and...

Pompey or Stains? The latter posted their accounts today too, as well as the small club in South London.
