LeazesMag 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Pre-tax profits mebbies? Anyway, the point still remains. The figure Stevie reported about wages to turnover is correct too. It all went to shit when Gemmill got hold of the purse strings. exactly. How the club made such massive progress in those 15 years, yet made annual losses of the magnitude claimed, is quite amazing tbh. Only an idiot could truly attempt to say that such a rise in the clubs fortunes was such a disaster as some of these OOT's and know-nowts make it out to be.

ewerk 30385 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The operating profit is the turnover minus the outgoings over a financial year are you stupid? You've already made yourself look a cunt once, and now you're getting angry. It's in the genes. Have you ever actually seen an income statement? Operating profit is only one part of it.

ewerk 30385 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 But we didn't make those profits. FFS. This is basic stuff. Of course we made those profits (as a business). How we spent in them in terms of players etc.. is irrelevant the club made massive profits, you denied it, like you denied we were in the deloitte and touche top 10 more than once. DON'T dig deeper. We did not make massive profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Can we go back to talking about league positions, and champions League qualifications Why not talk about major trophies instead. One ownership failed and one has failed so far. I know which is most likely to win one. well, if you are saying the entire reign of Keegan in particular, and all those european qualifications, top footballers and growth of the club was a waste of time and you would rather have supported Leicester all those 15 years on account of them beating Tranmere in the final of the League Cup, it pretty much sums up your state of mind lad.

Here's a simple question for you. Was the business sustainable long term? Seeing as we were making such massive profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 you went bankrupt doing it yourself. Mug. Fuck off you brummie nonce, you're not needed or welcome you knob. If you're prepared to say personal things like that on a message board you should be prepared to do it to someones face but you're a cowardly arsehole. You'd have a hard job though seeing as you get to Newcastle bi-annually. First off the black country reference alex made ages ago was already explained to you last week and as for being a nonce, I wasn't the one that got obsessed with a paedophile on twitter either. I'd also like to point out that I was happily letting people on here use my season ticket for games for free if on the odd occasion I couldn't attend while you were handing over your spare cash to your trustee so again you're talking bollocks. Just some advice mate but you're not going to make it as a professional gambler or win big on a game show, in fact I can remember when you had the idea to offer a company the chance to have their logo in your signature on forums and pay you for the privilege, like being associated with you and your ramblings would be good for their business.

LeazesMag 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 So losing £20m in 2000 was good business? Or £9m the season after? Well considering we made £48m profit in 2003 and 2004, backing up my point we were financially secure, your point slating FFS handling of the club up to that point, is null and void. But we didn't make those profits. FFS. This is basic stuff. all together now...."we've got the biggest profits, in the land...we've got the biggest profits in the land" What a load of shite.

Baggio 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Said at the time that they shouldn't be bankrolling Souness, dear boy, unlike our expert accountant ie Gemmill. When are you going to admit that your DOF system that you insisted would bring guaranteed success purely because of the system, has failed ? And that it failed here at Newcastle under Wise and Keegan when you supported Wise, and it has failed at your precious Spurs having been discarded by Redknapp who for some reason you are also now pretending you have supported all along ? The truth about Spurs is they were run "like a business, within their means" under Alan Sugar and we pissed all over them when we were run by football men, and now the situation is reversed and they are now run by football men and we are being run by "like a business, within our means" [and not even backing our manager with the money from sales, which is even worse]. But now you're saying we were giving him millions that we didn't have, I'm asking you how this is a sustainable business model? Also Spurs are ran like a business so I'm not sure what you're on about there. sorry but Shepherd never owned the club. Anyway, when are you going to reply to what I said and admit what you said about Spurs under a DOF, Newcastle under Wise and Keegan and a DOF, then tell us how your Comolli is getting on at Liverpool, or is he encouraging them also to spend money they don't have ? You have came back on here with your tail between your legs, the least you could do is admit the crap you spouted and admit this is the case. I didn't say anything about him being the owner of the football club. I said how is giving someone millions that you've admitted we didn't have a sustainable business model, which you didn't answer.
