2023/24 Financial Statements

[bakajack]

I see Dirty Leeds accounts have come in with a -60M loss.

Unfortunately they play by different rules when you come down from the Prem.
Parachute payments and a higher permitted loss over 3 seasons
Then again if they fail to go up this season they have some serious troubles next season with FFP

Clearly it could be worse, I agree, but losing £15-20m a season isn't exactly healthy either. Just because some other clubs are bigger basket cases, doesn't mean we're not one ourselves.

We need to be really careful, this is not a good trajectory to be on.

It's a tough one isn't it.

If it was my business I would be gung-ho, all eyes on the prize.

I would be recruiting like we used to back in the day, with a manager with a shared vision of playing a possession based winning formula, cutting our cloth to fit with PSR. Which I think is what the new boys are looking to do.

So, if we're not on that trajectory what do you think we should be doing differently ? You may be on to something.

What should we do differently?

Stop signing crap players for quite substantial fees or wages - like Pedersen, Yates, and one or two others

Stop dishing out contracts to high earning players who are kaput, like Naughton and Allen

Stop trying to chase an ideal that has had its day i.e. the Roberto/Brendan possession based game. These days the best teams can win games a variety of ways, stop being wedded to just one (usually failing) tactic

Stop appointing coaches out of their depth at this level eg Williams and Duff

Just a few things we should be doing differently.

I want to give this much more than a 'like'.

This
This is the nuts and bolts of it.
Everything that the old regime did wrong - and sadly a lot of it just comes down to common sense. But as they had no 'football people' running the club, common sense was out the window.
