Losses are fine so long as the people (or person) who has to cover them if fine with them.

I'm not sure why so many need to bring other clubs finances into the discussion.

Because:
1. To benchmark / compare. This forum covers all football matters and clubs.
2. Lurking fans of certain other clubs are often quick to comment and try to stir it up on any perceived bad NSC news for the Albion. On that basis, we can criticise their less than ideal finances.

Possibly, but W-B was sold for £45m +£5m possible add-ons whereas Benteke cost £27m + £5m possible add-ons. Minimum £13m gain, maximum £23m.

I believe there was a 40mill debt to other clubs due this financial year. The bulk of which was Benteke. Pretty sure all of the Benteke add ons would have hit. Unless it was goals related. Sure they may have made 5-10m profit.

This is from 2017-2018

Turnover £139m (joint 13th highest in the league, up from £29m)
Wage bill £78m (19th highest, 56% of turnover, up from £40m)
Profit before tax £12m (follows £39m loss in the Championship)

Ownership Tony Bloom owns 93%

Match income £19m

Broadcasting £110m

Commercial £9m

Other income £2m

Net debt Not stated; loan of £223m from Bloom.

Interest payable £0.8m

Highest-paid director Unnamed £1.4m.

State they’re in Scale of betting guru Tony Bloom’s investment in his home club’s ascent to its new stadium and Premier League promotion is documented in a short, sober note in the accounts: he has loaned £223m. Turnover increased 377% on promotion, but Bloom’s loan was still upped by £32m.

Burnley had two fewer matches on TV which offset half of the extra prize money.
