The cost of Leeds Utd Promotion 17:42 - Apr 8 with 1243 viewsReslovenSwan1

Leeds Utd have shown a massive loss from their promotion season. Swansea simply cannot go down this route. They have a benefactor in the San Francisco 49er s who are much bigger than DC United I would think.

£20m of that was down to promotion bonuses. Add the Sky sports rebate £5M+ and other COVID costs. Take those away and their losses were similar to 2019. Risky strategy but find themselves top half of the premier league and will probably cut their losses over a season.

The cost of buying your way into the EPL and then buying survival can destroy a club, it happened to Leeds once already and look how long it took them to get back. Have they learned their lesson?

The EPl is a poisoned chalice for all but the truly big clubs.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

When the great Argentinain walks they could be in big trouble. They will also have to negiociate the dreaded second season. Swansea lost their messiah and brought in fresh impetus wth Laudrup. Sheff utd stuck with the legendary Wilder and spent some money but were still sunk in season 2.

https://www.football-espana.net/2021/01/25/barcelona-on-the-verge-of-bankruptcy-

The question has to be, when a club like Barcelona is in that much debt doesn't it prove beyond doubt top footballers get paid too much. People say it's market forces but in a normal business the doors would shut and the business would disappear, after bankruptcy the owners would also face legal sanctions. Why are football clubs treated differently. why can a football owner take a club to the verge of bankruptcy then move on and ruin other clubs?
Leeds United, most of us will well remember Ridsdale. Many of us will remember Doug Sharpe and Tony Petty too.

Sheffield United will come down in debt, Norwich will go up with debt (and come down after a season or two with debt), it certainly is a poisoned chalice, the secret IMO is to try to get up with a philosophy, spend wisely, hope your style and playing system keeps you there but don't throw the kitchen sink trying to avoid relegation.

He left Robin in charge. I was working there at the time, Robin is, in my opinion, a complete muppet.

Didn't they find out Mr Sharpe had 500k of SCFC money in his building firms account, or did I dream that?
Doug sold us to Silver Shield, another disaster that led to.....Mike Lewis.....arguably that chain of events was worse by far than the claims made about our current owners.

If only people had listened at the time silver shield turned up instead of taking freebies off them for personal gain, tickets, etc. Very thick some of our lot at times.

No one who takes over Swansea is going to come out smelling of roses in the fans eyes. Save the club and then ending up needing security. All the good is forgotten and minor errors highlighted. Its the 'Ngog syndrome',

A minor error is forgetting to fax through transfer details, when you sign a player for huge money on huge wages who isn't fit enough to mow the lawn, that's not minor. When you sell a club under questionable circumstances and it results in threats of a court case, that's not minor.

When those saviours are alleged to have milked the club, contracts handed out to the chosen few, it doesn't matter what the truth is, it's the perception that matters.

Don't bother answering Res, pointless.

Meanwhile Sheffield utd, WBA and Fulham and or Newcastle likely to come down with huge debts. It really is time to stop paying all players twice what they are worth.

Didn’t Mr Nurse buy the £800,000 debt note from Silver Screen for £100,000.

And then call in the full £800,000 from Petty to get rid of him.

The money being paid to players is crazy. Obscene.
Then you see famine on the telly and begging you to give a fiver a month towards it.

Hows this, nobody should be paid more than 10 times the average wage. Lottery jackpots should be capped at 25 million and the money filtered down to lesser prize winners.

It's a bit left wing again...and my protagonist is no longer here to see my left wing leanings coming out...but we have to encourage the redistribution of wealth.

Leeds may not suffer the problems relegation brings this year but certainly 3 teams will.
