"The club has a recent history for several years of generally making a net profit each season on player transfers. The big exception was 2013/14 when a loss of £5m was made ( mainly the Cornelius loss which was down to Malky and Simon Lim) but this was more than covered by a £9m profit in 2014/15. I haven't seen them yet but the 2015/16 accounts will almost certainly show a further profit as it will include the £3m profit made on Joe Mason. 2016/17 should also show a profit with the inclusion of the profit made on David Marshall."Originally Posted by jon1959
Conversation seems to be entering talk of savings made on weekly wages for unwanted player and how the transfer committee record compares to days under Riddler and Sam. Conclusions seem to be, for those being a little too positive, that every transfer is a gamble.
I won't say that we haven't made a net profit but I do feel the PR around the transfer committee (there were two windows where we were told that it would lead to much better transfers which was followed by initially poor form and then a number of golden handshakes) and the strategy itself (we entered our first window of the championship with Turner, Hudson, Connolly as CB and spent a reported 9 million on not much better while our midfield became slower and our strikers could either score or work but not both and sometimes neither) has been poor.
Warnock must has done wonders for the fans relationship with the club if we've gone from agreeing that the squad was overblown, unbalanced and overpaid 10 months ago to this somewhat positive outlook.
