Yup, we got £2.2m more in the 'facility' section.
28 games at almost £750,000 each I think.
Think we were on 3 times more than them = £2.25M. They won £1.2M by finishing a place higher than us.
Think we recorded the biggest rise season on season of about £42M. Throw on to that about £10M in sponsorship bonuses for Champions League, another minimum of £30M for Champions League and there is going to be a sizeable increase in money.
All this dough will be spread across two financial years though.
Look back at accounts till end of May 2013Income
Turnover - £206M (think we can expect this to be pushing around £250M)
Expenses
Staff - £130M (can't see there having been much change over the past 12 months)
Further expenses - £50M
Costs related to players - £60M (surely this has to be less over the last 12 months after missing out on a sizeable deal in January)
Total loss last year £50M.
I'd imagine if we didn't do any deals by the end of May we would be about to post some kind of profit or at least a small loss, so in the interests of FFP, where you can overspend a little bit, you can understand the desire to try and do some business before the end of May.
