How much debt are we in?

Thu Jul 14, 2011 1:50 pm

A friend of mine today was insisting it is aprox £90 million now :o

Can anyone confirm this? he did say we have a steady payment plan but was downright shocked to say the least

your friend gets you every day :) ask him if i can have half of what he has been taking.



debt wise i doubt the club itself has more than £30m infact im sure its less, its mainly only the langston left as the rest has been refinanced and deals agreed. unless im missing something anyway

:lol: :ayatollah:

He just said we were in £70 mil debt around the end of the season, now they have given £20 mil for MM to spend

The £20m (if this IS the correct figure) is the annual wage and fee costs. I would suggest at an estimate with the new shares etc etc that have been introduced it is probably closer to £35-£40 odd million (if we count the Langston debt @ £24m)

I could be wrong though!

and it also doesnt look like he will be taking into account any of the income, for next season.

the £20 mill budget is obviously based around how much the board expect to make. i doubt they would be giving us too much more than what we make

That's the way I see it. Season Tickets will be on sale again in February (only 6 months away) plus there is the match day, TV, Sponsorship and other income to come in.
