[Albion] Albion Financial Metrics

Which player sales/purchases does this include, i.e. what is the cutoff date?

Are we expecting a huge drop off in next year's numbers to account for the summer spending spree and lack of megasales in summer 24?

End of June, I think. I know for certain that 23-24 included sales of Caicedo and Sanchez, but that Mac Allister was in previous year's accounts.

Didn't we still have sales in the region of 30-35m last summer - Undav, Gilmour and Gross? Not quite the 100+m of previous years, but certainly not insignificant.

Undav was €30m, Gross 6 or 7 and Gilmour about 10 if I remember rightly? Plus various sell ones and minor sales were probably looking at about £50m in sales.

But up against £200m+ in purchases, I was expecting our numbers to be much more in the red.

and presumably there will be some transfer incoming thanks to Liverpool / Mac Allister winning PL. Even more if Arsenal (White, Trossard ) had had won CL ? perhaps a bonus incoming if Sanchez, Caicedo, Cucurella win Conference League (perhaps not ha ha ) . and if Gyokeres is sold for big ££ before June 30th then we get a selling on percentage ?

The £200m will add about £45m to the amortisation charge, so they'll probably cancel each other out. Given that the 24-25 operational loss was about 35m, we'll have something of a similar order as our overall loss for the current season.

 

[El Presidente]

Hi @El Presidente - is the average wages figure - average wages across the entire club - so everyone from Press to Marketing to Coaches to Ticketing and high paid directors ! - but also all the professional players (men and women)
Is it possible to work out - from the accounts - the average mens players wages figure ? Do you try and do that ?

It’s the estimate of average first team wages by allocating a proportion of total payroll costs to players, based on data published by UEFA.

Not to mention a Sarmiento related bonus with Burnley being promoted. Could be worth upwards of a fiver.

But we have to pay a refund for the loanees at Ipswich and Leicester following their relaxation

 

[Silverhatch]

At least the “Chelsea aren’t paying out mega money in wages” argument can now be put to bed.

Compared to their previous extravagances they’re not! The 8-year contract (value) approach has still not been tested. And apart from their egregious manipulation of the PSR rules (which UEFA won’t currently buy), they could still be f***ed soon (hopefully). Any academy talent like Colwill will probably be next on the sales block.

 

[Justice]

It's a massive salary, but to put it in perspective it's probably less than what Milner, Ferdi and March each earn per year.

Definitely more than what March earns.

 

[Bodian]

Completely not answering your question, but I note the £146M quoted is the Group of Companies figure for BHAFC Holdings Ltd, which will include the women's team and other enterprises - the figure in the accounts is £146,221,000.

This figure covers 122 playing staff and 1,114 non-playing staff and directors (of which 773 are part-time).

The BHAFC Ltd (i.e. Men's team and academy) accounts show a figure of £142,235,000 covering 97 playing staff and 1,063 non-playing (of which the same 773 are part time).

This leaves 25 Women players and 51 non-playing staff paid £3.98M between them, for an average of £52,000 per YEAR.

In fact the Women's team accounts show 25 players and 47 staff paid a total of £3,530,316 - i.e. £49,000 per year on average.

(N.B. these figures include employer NI and pension contributions)

Over 1,000 non-playing staff. That seems a huge number doesn't it - but I guess it covers all the match day staff on the bars/kiosks/security and so on.

That'll be the bulk of the 773 part-timers.

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

One of the 773 must be James Milner

Is there a table for ring fenced funds?

Barber won’t buy a coat rail, you have no chance getting a table.
