Re: Wolves' losses last season
Surprisingly low wages considering the type of players on their books last year. Suspect that Wolves have played this very cleverly in that players of the ilk of Costa, Neves & Cavaleiro will have been convinced to join the Club on the back of a very persuasive argument that promotion, with that ca...

Re: Wolves' losses last season
I wonder how this figure is reached? First XI alone must be worth around £100,000,000. The £13m figure represents Current Assets only which comprised £10.4m Debtors (money owed to the Club) and Cash at Bank of £2.6m. The asset value of the players can be found under Intangible Assets and a figure a...

In agreement with your Turnover last year of £140m, Crosspool.
That figure includes £119.4m TV Income based on our hefty merit payment for finishing 7th.

The issue there is that if we go down we're going to need those parachute payments to pay our wages and for working capital. Even if wages drop by 50% that will eat up pretty much all of the parachute payments. And this supposed "£150m pot" is out of the question too. We'd have to win the PL to rea...

All credit to Preston in that they are able to report a Net Profit based on an Income of just £13.3m, albeit with a significant Profit on Player Sales.
We struggled to break-even in the Championship on similar levels of Turnover.
