Stranded So under L1 rules, this 6m will be considered part of the clubs turnover along with the Puscas fee.

Not sure we're officially a League One side yet, seen suggestions on Twitter anyway that this might just be to cover costs over the Summer break when we have less income, I suppose even if that were the case, it's better than it being added as more debt.

Royals and Racers Just had notification of a new posting re Reading FC and companies house title return of allotment of shares.- which was on May 2nd.
Anyone know if that’s important or a paperwork exercise ?

Geberally curious why you get notifications if you don't know what it means?

I get notifications so i can post upto date news- would you have posted it ??

No. Because I wouldn’t understand what it meant.

I think it must be July 1st. that teams officially change Divisions/tiers. The previous seasons League Tables always seem to change to next season's at that time. Aren't the player contracts up to the end of June as well?

Not saying you’re wrong but it would seem odd when fixtures come out in June. Yep, players contracts are up to the end of June so it’s Moore’s last payday with us this month.

Let me ask you. Are the contracts with ALL players valid until the end of June? There is still a winter transfer window, isn't it?

Perhaps the funding is to see the club through the off season and into next. Cash was tight during the last. With two separate payroll payment problems. Clubs having to self report such instances and provide a full explanation. An embargo is the potential penalty.

Surely you're a "whatever division you've been promoted/relegated to" club from the moment a season is over, yes there'll still be some admin/cosmetic type things hanging about until 30 June (as that date seems to be the logical one from when the media like to update things offcially) but in essence once a season is over and you know what's what for the next season then it's done.

Both those payroll issues were about international money transfers around bank holidays and were quickly resolved.

You would have to be monumentally incompetent to allow a bank holiday to delay your payroll..... +

I think we've established quite firmly that the club is run on an incredibly incompetent level over the last 10 years.

He reckons we are still losing £2m a month, WTF did he get that figure from?

£40k a week, sounds about right. Moore etc aren't off the books until the end of the month.

I presume you mean £400k a week?

It has been at this level for a number of years now. You'd think with all the restrictions we'd have had in place, we'd have seen this number drop significantly, especially in the last couple of years.

Read it as £2m a year, apols. How in the holy world of shit can a Champ/L1 club lose £400k a week? :shock:

We aren't/weren't the only ones. Reports were suggesting that both Birmingham and Bristol City were losing about £600k and £450k a week respectively, although that was about a year ago now.

As mentioned, with all the restrictions we've had in place over the last couple of years and more, it's surprising to see this number is still so high. But maybe that's the levels for a lot of Championship clubs on their day-to-day operations.

I think the last accounts showed a ~£17m loss (~£20m excluding transfers). That's £384k per week excluding transfers, down from around £540k per week in the previous season (albeit that was Covid affected).

The problem has been trying to compete with clubs with parachute payments and much higher organic revenues than us when our parachute payments came to an end and our organic revenues were declining.
