David Burke's Albion signings

You lay it out beautifully Stat Brother, and I can't disagree with a word of this, but do realise that El Pres is lurking and willing to demonstrate his superior grasp of footballing finances.

Definitely.

As I've just proved football finances is no place for a moronic simpleton.

If it were that easy all clubs would make money, not lose it.

Which sets up a question I'm mulling over (but can't be arsed to start a new thread)

Will any revenue stream decrease of 2014/15.

I understand the club lumped everything it could into the pre FFP '12-'13 accounts, -£14+m.

Therefore '13-'14, even with a slightly increased player budget the loses will be around 'only' £8m.

So that brings us up to next season:-

- Transfer dealings are in the black.
- New kit deal, largest in club history.
- Wages, some high earners have been removed from the bill.
- TV money, if that's not more it's comparable to last season.
- FA Cup money.
- I doubt anyone is eating and drinking less.
- The transport levy went up, bringing the cost down.

I'm struggling to find a reason why Oscar (or the next manager!!) won't have a, dare I say, WAR CHEST to play with this summer.

How can I reply to this, I can only offer some numbered points. Here you go:

1) Insulting someone purely because you disagree with them. 2) Failing to explain in why you disagree with them 3) Contributing absolutely nothing to the thread/discussion except this pointless ejaculation of drivel.
