And breathe... - Simon Dorset's annual deep dive into the accounts on 19:05 - Feb 27 with 2018 views | NorrisGreen | I can't take the figures seriously. It screams of being done "backwards".... ie the max permissable loss is £13mil so that's the first number slotted into our "accounts". Then, chuck in loads of lines/numbers with fancy accountancy terminology that support the £13mil outcome and Bob's yer uncle. Oh well, I suspect EFL must have a tacit arrangement with clubs that amounts to "don't take the mickey and we'll rubber stamp it" and we play ball with that. Ultimately, if the EFL applied forensic, robust and stringent examinations of clubs' accounts, probably 80% of them would start new season on a points deduction I reckon. | | |  |

It would hardly be a shock if it became permanent. | | |  |

For example, could the owners of a club pay for the purchase (or build costs) of a hotel or block of flats or some other income-generating investment on behalf of the club? | | |  |

To another poster's point, none of us will know how stringent the auditing from the EFL is. Admittedly I haven't looked at the accounts (look at enough in my day job), but I'd imagine clubs have to list the items and value of such which they are classifying as disallowable costs, so someone at the EFL would be 'reviewing' this. Again, hard to know the level of stringency of any reviews. | | |  |

And breathe... - Simon Dorset's annual deep dive into the accounts on 19:44 - Mar 1 with 472 views | NorrisGreen | To further emphasise the futility of it all Liverpool, one of the biggest clubs in the world have trumped us by posting a loss of £57mil. Just what is the point???? We go up, become successful, get a new ground, establish ourselves in the Prem, play in Europe but all the while making massive losses that grow year on year. Surely at some point the Billionaires that bankroll this madness will realise their vanity projects are an insane waste of money. | | |  |
