We should be one of a decent handful of clubs who SHOULD be able to spend a little more due to the Premier payments.

Gone on players and wages?? I think you'll find almost every club has bought players and paid wages and they've had nowhere near the money we have raked in over the last few years.

Under Tan, we’ve had more court cases for debts and bills then any previous owners , Tan has lost everyone of them costing us £millions and guess what?

We still have 3 more ones to come and very serious.

Even Dalman said a few months ago if we lose two of these that’s it.

Re: It just does not add up?

Just a question...

Does this suggested £3m per month come directly from the owner's pocket or is it actually the monthly figure the Parachute Payments give us, which is somewhat coincidentally £3m...? :?

I only ask, as it is unclear and the Parachute Payments surely go to the owner before being redistributed back to the club (or not)?

As I said, it's just a question but a valid one IMHO, as £6m per month seems an awful lot to run our club; notwithstanding £3m is, too! :shock:

think it goes to the club as there could be multiple owners ?
i think its an awful lot too...... possible the parachute money comes in at the end of season and therefore its Tan covering it until its received..? just a guess but it does fit {identical amounts }

The problem is Dalman keeps telling the media it’s Tans own money that goes in every month to
make everyone believe the club is losing it and Tan is funding our club.
They received £36mill last October.

Some of things said on here is right to ask. What have we done with nearly £500mill? ? ?

FAO Neil / Maccydee

As a big supporter / defender of Tan, could you explain why after over 11 years of running our club are we not debt free as promised? But worse than that we are in more debt than before Tan arrived?

Completely agree with post.
Owners have had years to ensure we spend what we can afford. Dalman is a kin to a politician and what he says and what materialises are not the same thing.

One thing that is patently missing from our revenue is the sale of players. For every fee we pay out we must only receive on back in.

We are evidently paying very good wages as players don't want to leave.

I wonder if other clubs and their fans have the same issues as us?

Transparency and regular contact would go a long way towards improving relations.

I understand that it is a business yet the lack of two way dialogue only causes uncertainty.

Other clubs have released their retained lists etc.

It seems we always keep our cards close to our chests for fear of gazumping etc. Where player wheeler dealing is concerned.

Do other fans get more regular updates on matters around their club?

It always seems a bit cloak and dagger.

It's definitely an odd one and needs clarification, gents. Mehmet Cameron is surely 'spinning' figures to suit the needs of the man who pays his wages...?

I just find it oddly coincidental that the £3m per month mentioned equates to 1/12 of the £36m parachute payment

Skidemin, you may well be right on the 'end of season' payments and it would explain the owner having to pay that amount into the club every month

Either way, I just feel what is going out in one hand is coming back in the other, whick smacks of manipulation of the figures

Annis' figure of £500m in Premier League and Parachute Payments sounds about right and despite him (Tan) understandably wanting to scale back during these tough times, we should be in a reasonably good position; certainly in comparison to clubs who have not been in the Premier League

Have been reading what prem promotion this year is worth(inclusive of parachute payments, which decrease some if relegated in 1st season!) And this year, the estimate is around £160m,which if correct is still nowhere near the £200m quotes that have been on here for us(per promotion) how this £500m was arrived at, is anyones guess!!

Makes you wonder the motive behind some peoples "guessing " at such highly inflated figures.

Re: It just does not add up?

Sun May 23, 2021 2:16 pm

Have these posters got confused maybe? Thinking its £160m + Parachute payments? Even though first promotion was worth around £85m(with parachute payments) it seems so far off to say 4 or 5 hundred million.
