Re: Mehmet Dalman interview BBC Wales
People talk about the lack of crowds as if it means that income has dried up completely from that direction, but, by way of an example, a friend of mine, who does not have a computer, paid his normal amount for a season ticket last summer and, apart from matches on Sky, saw nothing of City in the season just ended. The club was in receipt of season ticket revenue which, as I remember it, seemed surprisingly high given the circumstances, so, although I accept that receipts from such directions are not the be all and end all anymore, it's not true to say Vincent Tan was solely responsible for income received in 20/21.
Also, is there any point in becoming too negative about transfer plans for this summer? The transfer market this year is, almost certainly, going to favour buying clubs much more than in previous summers, so I'd say that shrewd recruiting by clubs could see them end up with stronger squads despite turning a profit in terms of buying and selling players.

I take your point, we may have 2/3 players on £20k a week but most are probably on half that and some a lot less
It’s a pure guess but I would say roughly our total outgoings are in the region of about £40 million.
So, I can’t see why Tan would need to subsidise us £3 million a month.. although he probably will have to next season

The notion that Mick McCarthy would want to sign Sheyi Ojo again, either permanently or on loan, is bizarre and I think it's just a case of more Mehmet Dalman bullshit. During the last twelve games of the season, Ojo made only one start - the dire 0-0 draw with Stoke back on 16/03/21. He wasn't selected to start any of the nine games that followed, so the manager clearly doesn't rate him.
As regards City's financial situation, I think some significant cost-cutting is inevitable. Covid-19 has obviously had a significant effect, the Premier League parachute payments have finished, the club is still saddled with some of Warnock's most expensive mistakes (Messrs Murphy, Glatzel and Vassell) and there aren't many genuinely saleable assets McCarthy would want to offload if he had the choice, so belts will clearly need to be tightened.
Meanwhile, the elephant in the room still looms large - the £15 million Emiliano Sala transfer fee.

You obviously have no idea how much it costs to run a professional football club in the Championship. Do you think the stadium and all the staff employed apart from the players cost nothing ? Business rates for the stadium alone cost in the region of £500000 a year ! Do you actually believe that we only have 2/3 players on £20K a week as well - it was more like three or four times that (Smithies, Morrison, Flint, Bennett, Hoilett, Glatzel, Moore, Wilson, Ojo, Ralls, Murphy). Why would the figure Tan is putting into the club be exaggerated ? It was widely publicised by a number of different media outlets as between £3m and £4m a month over two years ago.

Links please to the likes of Glatzel and Flint being on 20k a week wages.

For his wages and the availability of other, cheaper and quicker, left back / left wing backs... I would let him go.

How do you know what his wages are now or what wages he would be on under a new negotiated contract ?

Bennett was brilliant under Mick and our season went down the tubes when he got injured, and then Bagan in the next game. I'd be surprised if he didn't sign as he'll be out for 6 months at least.

You really are a bitter and twisted individual regarding anything to do with Tan. What would they get out of exaggerating how much it costs to run the club anyway.
