    [Albion] Number of seasons in the Premier League - is our expectation simply unrealistic?

    Exactly, we can we write their oh so predictable headlines for them, 2 months ahead: Stay up - TB’s brave gamble paid off. Relegated - TB’s disloyal treatment of CH came back to bite him. Whinging fans, be careful what you wish for!

    [Albion] Number of seasons in the Premier League - is our expectation simply unrealistic?

    2018/19: Payroll £102m including £2m to paid directors Depreciation £6m Amortisation of player contracts (transfer & agents fees) £33m Interest £2.6m Overheads, cost of merchandise, cost of catering £27m I think you’re right. Many players on more than decent money, even fringe players. Plus...

    That ST shake out would have to be in a year’s time. Very shortly, all ST’s will be legally committed for 2020/21.

    Born 1946, so in his 40's then. Ray was appointed to the Board by DK. Wasn't the Bloom on the Board in 80's and early 90's an older guy? Could be wrong.

    Ray Bloom is a very successful and wealthy guy. Is he TB's father or uncle?

    [Albion] Number of seasons in the Premier League - is our expectation simply unrealistic?

    Player sales raised £70m but were receivable up to 4 years from the transaction dates, £41m was spent in new fees in summer 2016, but Ashley upped player wages from £75m by £37m to £112m in 2016/17 (benchmark that against our £40m).

    The Albion's Championship annual business model, after stripping out ad hoc promotion costs, is: Income £29m Costs -£59m We have a very high cost base. Loss -£30m Parachute income would briefly raise income, but 75% of the squad would be on huge PL contracts. It's not a financial model to...

    [Albion] Number of seasons in the Premier League - is our expectation simply unrealistic?

    It's a bummer to get out of. The competition is extensive. This includes cheating owners massively overspending in breach of FFP, then using disputed accounting slight of hands, to cover the breach - QPR, Massive, Derby and Villa. There are an increasing number of very wealthy owners...

    [Albion] Number of seasons in the Premier League - is our expectation simply unrealistic?

    We'd need to get back immediately, as Newcastle did, to minimise the damage. Ashley did it with money …. they only lost Wijnaldum and Thug Sissoko, but invested heavily in summer 2016, augmenting effectively their already PL squad. They should've walked the 2016/17 Championship, and did (with us).
