Alex 34838 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Hoping he ekes another year out of Rafa then he'll spin the roulette wheel of mediocrity next summer when Rafa's contract is up. Hopefully he overdoses on coke first Edited May 18, 2018 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might just have to accept that it is what it is. 90m losses for being relegated is phenomenal. So, very likely thats where all the tv money went for this season.

rob032 38 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I've concluded that he will never let go. He has it absolutely golden here. Year after year of free, global advertising. The ability to be far less than transparent about income and expenditure. Only has to dangle the carrot of takeovers that will never happen and the stadium fills straight up. He will string NUFC along as long as he can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6986 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Aye, definitely an ulterior motive with these numbers. The parachute payment offsets all but £30-40mil of losses. £90mil of losses is unprecedented. Especially as we had a transfer net profit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 6 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Can one of our financially minded posters explain the significance of the 90m being an Operating Loss. My understanding is, it only includes income and expenses for that year. So Capital expenditure (player sales/purchases, income for past player sales/purchase) are either excluded or only include the 12 month value. As I'm pretty sure this is significant as Ashley said we would only ever buy players in full. And I know we sell on tick e.g. Sissoko for 6m a year x5 years. In my mind we at least broke even last year. Just not in cash flow (purchase in full vs player sales on ticks full income value). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2204 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Apparently if a player is permanently out of the first team squad, like Colback is now, his wages over the remainder of his contract have to be expensed straight away. If there were a few of those in the 2017 accounts, it might explain why the loss was so high. In effect it’s treating those wages as paid upfront.

It sounds a little bit like the treatment of an asset held for sale except I can’t see how it would work with wages (since they’re an expense and I know when a fixed asset is held for sale it’s remaining depreciation isn’t immediately expensed). Since I don’t think the wages of the contract are capitalized (this is where I might be incorrect and where the asset held for sale treatment might be this) the only immediate write off for an asset held for sale would be the impairment, which in Colbacks case would be the remaining amortization since he’s what can only be defined as a ‘worthless cunt’. The other point here is was Colback ever being amortized since he was free? I suppose it could be his signing on fee and any agent fees, but I doubt there’d be much remaining. I suppose there would also be players like Haidara, Saivet, etc that could all have been treat this way but I still can’t see it being a significant amount. Overall I’m not sure how this would work as I can’t see how you’d be able to immediately write off the remaining expense of a contract in the current period as they’re not period expenses even if the ‘asset’ is no longer intended for use.

Phil 6 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The books have been presented with one aim - to present Ashley in the best light possible. The cynic would believe the misleading 90m headline is to make out he is the savior of Newcastle United, and implies anyone who says otherwise is delusional. The truth is more likely they are trying to quash any expectations of spending more than last summer. It's rather concerning that Ashley didnt use this opportunity to court potential buyers to drive up the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably this could have done so as these accounts will be a year old and any purchasers would be looking at more recent unfinalised accounts.

zerosum 234 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Surely even Mike ashley isn’t dumb enough to cook the books when they’ve been under close scrutiny already from the revenue? Could it not be that they actually did just take a “financial gamble”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30259 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We can write things down and make provisions in the accounts that won’t necessarily affect the tax we pay. I’d say that’s the case with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
