Where has all the money gone? 20:12 - Dec 30 with 7095 viewsLord_Bony

We can't buy much in January because we don't have a pot to piss in at the moment apparently.

All we can spend is the surplus money left over from the summer signings.

Over £1 billion turnover since we joined the Premier League… What happened?

If you believe Big Nose OBE, it's down to the increased wage demands of players as we continue our Premiership journey...

That's a fair point.

The average wage of a premiership footballer these days is about £30,000 per week an increase of nine percent over the previous year.

But the broadcast money from sky BT etc has also increased and more than covers it.

There being "no money" and "where has the money gone" is a red herring imo. Its just misdirection to cover for the terrible recruitment policy and spunking away huge amounts of cash on utter flops who we then loan to other clubs and pay for.

So Bad financial management and bad recruitment decisions are to blame then.

Therein lies the rub.

How much better could we be if we had the financial clout behind us enjoyed by other clubs.

Can't see much coming down the pipe from our "investors...aka "venture capitalists ".

Shame.

With a 20,000 capacity, no commercial income to speak of and heavy investment in facilities it's not hard to believe that player costs eat up the majority of any income received.

There are many reasons to be critical of the way Jenkins has run the club but I'd dearly love to know just how these "missing millions" have been squirrelled away.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

The thread we've all been waiting for! Bloody good question. As I've said before I hope the management accounts are available to the Trust. Would hate the Yanks to be charging consultancy fees for their dodgy stadium project. Pearlmann at £750,000 pa is bad enough.

Yep.

another fine example of financial incompetence and jobs for the boys.

Pearlman on 750k pa as head of the merchandise department.

I mean wtf does that guy do all day for that kind of money?

A couple of bright uni business grads would probably do a far better job at a fraction of the price.

Do these guys still think our swansea fc brand can be big in America and Asia? No it can't.

Jenkins is on 10k a week
We used to be a club that made money from managers leaving, but since Huw fell out with Laudrup, we've sacked every manager, since, you're looking at around 5 mil for every manager change minimum

for someone on half a mil a year, hes costing us 5 mil a year minimum

The Yanks promised Clement 3 new players.

The trouble is Jenkins wants to buy bargain basement from the lower leagues like the Falkirk lad this week.

Lets see if there's a 30m war chest available for Jan....doubt it.

All they want to do is take money out and not put it into the club.

Turnover is the money that comes into the till.

Over £1bn since we ve been in the Prem.
