Looking Forward

Doncaster Rovers CasWhite!

Their payroll is as much as that!






























Oh hang on a minute, read it wrong, their's is £3,198.50 and you get co op stamps when you buy a ticket!!

that is more than a 4 year span CasWhite which equates to less than £8 million per year if correct.
How much does the club generate in income each year?
We received £10 million for Delph and the 2 kids that went to chelsea then there were numerous other sales etc.
It does not add up

RSL, the kids to Chelsea were before administration so was swallowed up. The Delph money, we don't know the exact sum but Bradford were to receive 18% of it. Yes, we have sold players and bought players. But, agree we will be up.
We have also paid £35m to the tax man during that period, plus rent, rates, policing costs (£80k for one match versus Millwall).
So you think £8-£10m a year (as league 1 it was less than this) is not a good budget?

Ok the everton kid,city kid,gradel,schmeichel,extra cup cash.
Bates said bradford received £1 million from delph comp
Then the Milner add on clause
Multi millions, yes we have spent on lonergan, collins mcormack but the milner comp covers those easily.
It dont add up

But, in league 1 we broke even with transfer fees received. This past year will be interesting to see what profit was made in the Championship.
RSL, how much do you think as been spent on improvements to the ground (excluding East Stand) in this period? Fans need to understand Bates is the only Chairman recent who has improved facilities for them. Take, Billy's bar, the Pavillion

£7 million on the east stand is what has been quoted.
Wish more had been spent on signing quality players myself but each to there own

The pen pushers have ballsed up their priorities. In order to get a full stadium, u need to get a team together that will make the recession hit ppl part with their money...alas!!!

Question, where has the £7m come from? Could it ever have been spent on players!!!

Delph Milner etc etc etc etc etc

RSL, except that would mean it being held in the accounts as cash since the money was received. Think at last report we had about £1m in cash. As you say it doesn't add up, but we have also spent money on players,
Lonergan, Becchio, Gradel (plus sell-on), Bromby, Clayton, Snodgrass, McCormack, Bruce, O'Brien plus all those crazy loan fees we will have paid.
