yes i do believe the land loftus rd is built is worth money! alot of the bush has change over the last few years and alot of money has come into the area , im not the only one who thinks this maybe all about a land grab issue i think nodge who unlike me is a respected poster on here was hinting about it a few months back!

"£90M will appear on the balance sheet"

Apart from the fact, you don't spend from the balance sheet & income doesn't appear on it, we only get £40M guaranteed this season and THAT's paid in installments with the final payment not being received for nearly 11 months, that's a very accurate statement.

The other £48M is again paid in installments over 4 YEARS and will begin (if we get relegated) in August 2012.

Problem is of course, players need paying every month not just when we have some cash.

How do we think that has happened over last 3 years looking at debts, P & L and cashflow?

Yep the shareholders - Flav, BE and Mittals have stumped up - they MAY get their cash back, they MAY get interest and they (Flav/Mittal) MAY even get the ground but the idea that they are putting the Premier League's millions straight in their pockets at the moment is nonsense.

You are right but you don't have to pay transfer fees upfront and pay them over installments as well. Meaning that yes we would have to cover salaries on a monthly basis but we wouldn't necessarily have to do the same for transfer fees. There are situations where you can have a set payment every month, quarter, year etc.

Think its a bit of a viscious circle in that because the directors don't want to spend much money they are not very confident of staying up and therefore they are reluctant to make financial commitments on either transfers or wages that stretch into the future - they probably imagine more Rowan Vines and Patrick Agymans but on double the money...
