Bournemouth post £15m loss

[andy1980]

Can anyone recall how much we lost in our last season at Withdean?

£7 million I think it was.

 

[El Presidente]

£7 million I think it was.

Correct. Revenue £7m and expenses £14m

 

[Aristotle]

Surely they'll fail the FFP test with the next set of financial results!

My thoughts exactly. And from what I can tell from the BBC reports, the money is coming from loans from the Russian and companies associated with him, so this season's expenditure could still come back to bite them.

 

[Eeyore]

Just makes me thankful that we have an owner who genuinely loves our club.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

If the Russian continues to spend as he is their wage bill will definitely bigger than ours next year - I doubt there's much in it this year frankly. They are paying some pretty handsome wages. That's based on what I've had inferred to me by an employee of Bournemouth, anyway. No reason to doubt him and these figures serve to back him up.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Didn't we spend £20m on wages last year? I know we were in the division above, but whilst £11m is eye watering, it seems in line with our spending.

I see Palace are after Grabban and Cook now.

 

[Albion Dan]

We must be due a decent sell on for Cook.

 

[severnside gull]

Read an article that suggested League 1 and 2 operate a salary cap of 60% of turnover reviewd throughout the season with a sanction of a transfer embargo. Has this only begun this season as seemingly Bumfluff exceeded that figure last year?

A third. Spend big, Palace

Ground capacity at Bournemouth is about 11,500 or thereabouts.Not much chance of big revenue increases there.
Nice little ground,but it is small!

Maybe Tommy E will come back for a small fee? An obvious replacement for Greer - Capt / CB!

He is very popular with the fans and has performed well.
