Otherwise it would have been a £9m loss, mainly due to the sharp drop in premier league revenue (Revenue down by £40m) and wages only reducing by £10m.

Won't suit some, but that puts Tan's financial intervention into perspective!![]()
Some will argue that he 'created' much of the problem and that is probably the case. However, if we are prepared to accept that much of that was due to pre-existing debt, some overly ambitious spending under two former managers and the continuation of certain much-publicised (and non-publicised) legal wrangles, then if (as appears) Tan is now running the club on a sounder financial footing, I believe we are now at the start of a brighter future on and off the pitch!![]()
