It'll be interesting to see how much this improves again with the new stadium move and the other commercial deals that came with it.

£49m sale of the women’s team?
I must have missed that, when was that announced?
I don't think it ever was, but there was a lot of rumours going round in the summer we'd sold it for £50m, so looks like they were indeed correct.

Are the accounts good beyond the sale of the woman's team?

He knows Roma will be in the Europa and we’ll be in the CL so there won’t be an issue
Late breaking news... Italian referee returns to the game after a record-breaking career hiatus...

We will knock it out the park in the current financial year, with full impact from the stadium coming across and potentially a higher placing in the league.
Wage to turnover being at 74% is a great effort. Puts us in a solid position going forwards to manage the club sustainably. There are plenty of clubs in the league that will need to look at their wage bill and cut back.

Worth every penny to get shut.

I wouldn't stress over a £4m payout to Dyche.

Best £4M the club ever spent in my opinion

If two clubs qualify for the same competition then the leagues coefficient dictates who gets relegated. There will be a lot of pissed off Roma fans if we both get into the conference.
Uefa rules for finances are much stricter. We're pinning all our hopes on the £430m debt to equity move the Friedkins made to pass the "stability" test (UEFA "acceptable deviations increase to €60m a year of they're covered by equity).
We're relying on being able to argue that there's no shared directors, no shared scouting and no shared commercial synergy beyond that.
Headline figures
Turnover: £196.7m (Up £9.8m)
Wage Bill £152.1m - 81% (down £4.6m 74%)
Operating Profit (Pre-Trading) £28.3m (Up £56.4m bit over the women's sale)
Profit on Player Trading £31.3m (Down £17.2m)
Statutory Loss (After Tax) £8.6m (down £44.6m, women's team and stadium sale again)

I thought the highest positioned team got the higher competition. Hence lyon over palace.

Yeah that's what I thought too.
But I think it may go on league ranking after that so maybe if we both finished 8th then we'd get in on being in the stronger league. Not sure how possible that scenario is though e.g the same positions in each league won't necessarily end up in same comp anyway.

Yeah, the way its shaping up, the coefficient only really comes into play for top 4 placings

Just smash Brentford and the shite and we push ourselves into the mix for the higher echelons of Europe where we belong and hopefully avoid all these complications.
