That's the way we used to get it Col - unless we requested, and were granted it, in larger tranches, or one lump payment?

Thanks for the last paragraph Alan

I normally never care about Finances as it's the Club's duty to sort out, but it's a question which has been asked previous.

I've not been since the Fev defeat when I saw you in the Car Park, and I don't regret not going, I never thought in a million years the season would end like this, it's worse than the Bell and Hart regime, and isn't over by a long way yet, sad to say.

Yep , so probably requiring another 1.2 million to pay out the season , possibly more

Really £2.5m to pay out the season

I'd say so about that yes , given a full time squad assembled as we saw

Why what did you assume ?

Well about £1.5 on players but not another £1m on the rest

On a 3,000 attendance what would you assume we actually take through the gate ?

No idea, but I don't think that was the question was it - what do we spend the other £1m on

Coaches FT salary, conditoners salary, physio's , Director of rugby salary, player welfare manager salary, coach travel, food and drinks at work (ie FT training) etc etc.

Maybe not £1 million, but I would hazard a guess the Ex DOR was clearing approx £100k a season.

Well I work FT, why should they get food and drink - think it's safe to say we have paid over the odds in most areas, players, coaches, rent, loans

I wonder what Leeds spend the other 9.5 million on ?

I've no idea, nor do I give a monkeys. If you don't know and your that bothered bob onto their forum and ask em

My stab at costs, £1.6m squad, £180k coaches, £300k LSV incl training pitch and offices etc, £200k other staff, Travel, insurances, Physios, Doctors etc £150k = £2.4m ish
Income £1.25 central, £600k gate and ST's, £200k sponsorship, £70k lottery and LISA, £100k cup and friendlys = £2.2m ish
I would guess the savings made by shredding the squad balance the books, ish.

What about the transfer fee for Goodwin and then baptise of the books very early then we've got rid of a lot of wages for the last 10 or so weeks which must add up to quite a few thousand pounds

So when the Miners played Oxford in the CC, the cost quoted was £3k to rent the LSV. That £300k looks a little vulnerable.

Do the miners train and rent offices at the LSV ?

£ 600k gate and ST ? , doubtful Niel , not after VAT and LSV cut , more like 400

There are 12 teams in Championship right ?
That's 11 home games at (best) an average of 3k per game & an average *see top of head spend of £20 p/p* = £660k + CC & play off Blue Peter Badge Final home games + sponsors + corporate + merchandise + 1.2M in central & parachute payments, then the sale of Bryson Goodwin to Wire on top *maybe if he wasn't sold this would all be academic* !

The squad was quoted by DB as costing £1.62M *does this include the 20 minute wonder John the Baptiste* ?

Somewhere these numbers don't add up, our income from all streams + the cost cutting of offloading many top earners & John the Baptiste after only 20 minutes, we should be ok should we not ?

So why is DB not paying players ?

Ste I'm not having a pop. But £300k compared to 30 games at £3k = £90k to rent the LSV. Are you saying the costs of training and renting offices per season cost £210k?

You saying we only open one stand Atomic? Or have the same number of stewards or indeed get the same discounted deal? By your logic that's £1500 per hour so we must pay £30000 per week

Didn't you say at some point, if the North stand gets to within! What was it 500 people of being full,the East as to be opened.

Edit: How many times was the South opened for no reason?

Take it that was down to costly mismanagement again!

Do LSV keep the gate receipts and give us the balance? I’m sure that Lionel Richie was paid net.

20 quid per head per game ? No chance , factor in VAT , then factor in concessions and kids

They used to do that Jack - don't know if that's still how it works.
