No STATs produced.

Am I getting wummed by a Spurs fan

Are you saying that Citeh have have made a stupid mistake on their annual accounts, by not including 600 other employees ??

Or perhaps, their costs are negligible ( +/- shown as sundry expenditure) ??

Tell you what, FOI request by you to Citeh as to the avg matchday costs per each such individual ...

I thought Edin was a WUM

Staff that are contracted to work on match days are not employees of Man Pity but are sub contractors employed by 3rd party agencies and as such are not entered into a balance sheet as staff, neither is what they are paid included in wages and or salaries.

The same applies to all PL and probably the majority of all league clubs.

Re profitable business models.

If they operate within the FFP rules and regulations Man Pity will never make a profit as their operating costs are greater than their income. The only way they can operate at a profit is to either reduce costs or increase revenue. The club with the highest income (from football and not 1 off property deals) is MUFC who have a turnover of almost £300 million. The only way that Man Pity can achieve such a turnover is by them almost doubling the size of the Etisad Stadium and increasing their gate revenue.

Man Pity

Half Term sure brimgs them out.

You're right. The £118m does relate to 413 employees.

Yeah, that's usually how it works!

"Staff that are contracted to work on match days are not employees of Man Pity but are sub contractors employed by 3rd party agencies and as such are not entered into a balance sheet as staff, neither is what they are paid included in wages and or salaries."

Regardless, the figure must be shown on the accounts somewhere if tis *significant* , yes.

But RipleysCat will provide us with some suitable avg per person figures, so the 118m per 413 employees is not unacceptably distorting the figures for Citeh ...

RDBD, I've already said that the £118m for 413 is correct.

I didn't realise Warren Buffett contributed to this forum.

Just an aside to all this RDBD how come you can write Citeh and yet Spurs fans complain about being called Spuuuds? (see it wont let me even type it as its banned.
Both are done in a derogatory way yet your lot dont half get touchy when its used.

RDBD - yes it does appear in the accounts but NOT as salaries or staff. It normally goes in operating expenses.

lee1pee - ask Admin, I'm sure they'll explain it to you.

"Just an aside to all this RDBD how come you can write Citeh and yet Spurs fans complain about being called Spuuuds? (see it wont let me even type it as its banned."

Because Admin1 is a Spurs fan +/- some were force-fed potatos at home/school when they were kids ??

Think I'm right in saying this, but the word Citeh is on the admin's "shortlist" of words to be banned. It might just need a few more people to complain about it to push the admins into action.

Personally, people calling us Citeh doesn't bother me. It's just a word after all.

"Despite their free flowing football and game in hand."

Game in hand > N hundred million for "legit" stadium naming "sponsorship" (FACT !!!! ) .

Ripley it doesnt bother me I just wondered why is all, it seems a bit funny not to type the word yet other teams can have mild abuse heaped on them from our mashed potatoed bretheren.

I'm a United fan, and I'm on record on here as saying I have no problem at all with City's spending or where it came from, take your fortune where you find it (both types)...

Just a question for the city lads though, a lot of the comments say 'we' spent, 'we're' looking good etc. - do you not feel a bit removed from the club now? a bit like it's cheating on Football Manager by using the editor?
