Where does that £70M figure come from? We only spent £5M on fees last year, which was half as much as they did. |  |

Ignore me. It’s obvious some of them are on drugs. Thinking we bought Hutch, in the deal announced this week, 2 years ago. lol. Utterly clueless and not very bright some of that lot. ‘They spent 70M - look here’s the proof’ (links to a transfer site that shows our signings last year were €4.7M).
Absolutely bonkers  | |

Another set of fans who are clearly experts in our financial situation.
I do find fans narratives on us change like the wind as well. One minute we will came straight back down as we have a league one squad and the next, we bought our way out of league one with a championship squad. |  |

I think one of their posters included the original outlay to buy the club from ME. And then everything on top including fees, wages, hob nobs to keep Phil happy, infrastructure improvements etc. |  | | |

An aptly named thread title there. "they then signed 13 players for last season" - did we??!? Who are these 13 players we signed, I must've miscounted? |  |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

Most of the thread is quite sensible, questioning the validity of the OP's figures. |  |

Lovely job. Some one needs to go on there and explain our finances. |  |

Terrible thread lol, thought I'd be reading about their thoughts on the two targets. My only takeaways are that the majority of football fans have too much of a life to understand FFP in significant detail, and a surprising number of people place trust in the nonsense estimates provided by salary sites.
We know we were comfortably the biggest L1 spenders on and off the pitch in 22/23, as were we very competitive with the normal Championship clubs last season. When your revenue is higher than many around you and when the ownership is committed to extra investment in line with FFP rules, too right too. That's a different world to the one in which parachute clubs operate in, however, and that's what makes last season's success so extraordinary. |  | | |

To be fair, they all seem pretty rational, complimentary and informed about us, other than the OP. |  |

Makes TWTD appear cordial and peaceful. Phil should bookmark that thread for reference whenever things become heated on here.
I laughed at the moderator who hasn't the time to deal with the spat tonight because he has to go out to feed the goat. Perhaps Phil should take a leaf out of their book! | | | |

We did buy our way out of League One with a Championship squad though, but many teams have tried to buy promotion and failed. | | | |

Not just signed 13 players, 13 on loan. lol. That should have set the alarm bells ringing that they were writing ballocks, as you can only name 5 in the matchday squad. Why would anyone sign 13, effectively wasting 8 places in their registered squad?
Omari
Brandon
Scarlett (1/2 season)
Sarmiento (1/2 season)
Travis (1/2 season)
Kiefer (1/2 season)
Not quite 13. Although 5 were from PL clubs.
According to Transfermarkt, they loaned 8, 6 of whom were from PL clubs, 1 from Sporting, and another from Belgium top tier. I'm really not sure what point that person was trying to make.
in fairness, there are lots on there with common sense calling out the rubbish. Several salty posters though, who seem solely to have the hump because we did well. And who have zero self awareness about their own club. | |

Yeah, we did have a good wage budget for L1. One of the highest, if not the highest. We did bring down the ratio of wages to turnover to about 90% though from 114% from the year before, so those wages were more affordable. The losses that year were largely expected if I remember correctly, as there was a lot of expenditure trying to bring the facilities up to scratch after Evans' austerity.
We were obviously fine wrt FFP because of promotion, but I can't remember the ins and outs of where we stood regarding Profit and Sustainability in L1 (i.e. were we gambling or managing things sensibly?). | |
