Boro made operating loss of £36 million in being promoted last season

That's why I said IF you get promotion.
The figure would include promotion bonuses for the players.
Spending most of your income on wages is just crazy, but if you've got Blooms wealth, what's £250 mill if you can get to the PL ?

That includes £156.5m spent on the Amex complex and academy/training facility. Admittedly still financed from TB's pocket.

The club desired a fine stadium, which had to built be from scratch, and top category training faciliity, regardless of what division the first team plays in.
