THE BUDGET FOR MALKY ?

Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:47 pm

Ok so we will have £35million invested to see us through to May 2013, out of this £35million a sum of £10million has been set aside for settling Langston.

That leaves £25million.

The club generates approximately £20million per season, add this to the £25million from above and we have total of £45million.

Last season we were operating losses of approximately £1.2million per month, meaning we were losing approximately £15million per annum, plus the wages were around the same figure of £15million, so £30million to be taken from the £45million.

So my reckoning is the budget we have to spend on players would be approximately £15million.

All this is my take on the matter, think it is right but maybe others can prove different.

Even if I have not got to the figure the correct way, it certainly ties in with the figure I have been told over the past 4 weeks that the manager would have to spend.

If right that's a hell of a lot of money at this level. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Christ Carl no wonder Malky has'nt been able to buy anyone up to now.....when you tell them how much he has in his Arse pocket. Why did'nt you say he only had £2 million ;)

That is why Malky is 'massively happy' :ayatollah:

Wait a minute... Wasn't there a 100m investment or was 65m spent on the training ground. :?:

Wrong, I'm afraid Carl.

They give the total loans by the Malaysians as 34.8m. At may 2011 in published accounts that figure was 14.8m so monthly losses last year were 1.67m. This years cash injection loan of 25m is only 5m more than last years 20m so malky has 5m extra this year to spend.

Is that just for transfers or does it cover wages too?

Carl, i was told the same about a month ago, in fact i posted it on here, i was told malkys budget, including wages, was about double that of last season, last seasons being approx £15 million!!!

I trust MM a lot more than DJ as well to buy players who can become assets to the club short and long term

Carl,

the Malaysians are pumping in loans of 1.2 Million a month just to meet current running costs. This means that income streams have been exhausted/already counted for as there is no further money to meet outgoings. There is nothing in the statement today that says other than there is £35 million for running the club until May, out of which comes the £10 mllion for langstone, transfers and wages. Assuming the club still needs 1.2 million a month for 12 months (14.4 million) that leaves 10.6 million for transfers and increased wages.

You said recently this was the largest transfer budget ever in Cardiffs history ( I forget the exact hype you use) ? Really?

Malky has extra £5m to spend this year

Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:06 pm

Malaysians provided £20m of loans last season and will be providing loans of £25m this year plus £10m for Langston. These new loans mean malky will have extra £5m to spend on his playing budget.

What's the most we have spent in a season ?

Re: THE BUDGET FOR MALKY ?

Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:11 pm

The problem is...it's all well and good having the money but if we keep getting outbid (allegedly)then we will still have the money when the season kicks off.Also if Malky misses out on all of his preffered choices than do we have to accept 'second best'. IN MALKY...WE MUST..TRUST. As I have said previously only time will tell. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I don't know. Are we going to spend more on players this season than ever before? Does Malky have the largest transfer budget in Cardiffs history?

Yes I believe he has, will he spend it though, I don't know but I suspect he will have a good go at it.

Carl,

Can you correct the original post? It still says £15m which is quite misleading when the Malaysians are only providing an extra £5m worth of loans compared to last season.

Thanks

I don't doubt it. We spent about £2m on Turner, Mason, Gunnarson and Miller last summer so we should have £7m to spend at least with the extra £5m in loans they are providing.

It's definitely only an extra £5m because you can see it from combining last years accounts with today's statement.

Thanks

Whatever the size of budget he's got, Malky's got a lot of work to do this close season.

So you believe Malky will use nearly all his budget on one player ?

But surely speculation on here ain't going to help us chasing players is it when clubs get a whisper of what we have to spend.

It's great that you know so much but I think sometimes you could go about things differently, post a bit more sensibly and not add to the mad rumour mill.

Not a dig by any means.

I'm just doing the maths, I trust Malky's judgement completely given most of his signings were a success last year.

The Malaysian loans were £14m at May 2011 in the accounts and now they are £34 in todays statement so that's £20m last year and £25m for the coming year. So difference is £5m. I'm not trying to be difficult just trying to explain it to you.

Carl why is it that when you try and spread some good news somebody always tries to make out you are wrong, I wonder why you continue to bother, I know why, but I still wonder.

Maybe we should just wait and see.
