What strikes me is the lack of transfer profit on player sales in the last ten years. If we made even £5m per year ( seems the average for a championship club ) then the overall finances would look fairly stable.
yeah it's been a massive weakness for the club for years, in both our transfer policies and attitude towards bringing youth players through.

More recently we tentatively seem to have made some improvements in both areas, hopefully the youth pipeline continues and some of the players mature into some valuable assets for the club, and the transfer policy seems to be mostly : Loans, free transfers and younger players from lower leagues who could increase in value - which seems sensible tbh.

That said some pundits thought our premier league signings of bobby Reid and Josh Murphy were very sensible business, as they were both young, potential to improve, good championship players if we went back down and if they did well in the premier league we would have got many times our initial investment for them. That obviously didn't count on a couple of seasons of Warnockball turning Murphy into a shell of a player he previously was.
