Where have we "cut back"?
You understand this is for 2015/16, yes?
Single biggest cost outside of player wages was paying off BR and hiring Klopp.
You lads are funny.
Can't read a balance sheet or accounts, but something nefarious must be going on, but none of you can point to it.
Yes I understand this is for 15/16 Swab.
As for reading a balance sheet or accounts I can read them perfectly fine and understand that it's very easy to hide costs in accounts and balance sheets without having to write ******this is where we take our money from ****** beside it.
How do I know exactly what each player's wage truly is, how do I know what we pay agents in terms of transfers, I'm not privvy to the exact information but I tell you what we pay an extraordinary amount of money to agents when we're not dealing with superstars. It's always looked a bit suspicious to me that when the agent bill is released and it's shown just what we pay that we're right at the top or close to every year.
Even without that Swab I'm also convinced that we have never paid 0% interest on the loan from FSG. Even though that is exactly what is listed in the account because a loan can appear to have 0% interest but miraculously grow in size due to management fees, restructuring fees etc etc which don't need to be handled anywhere near our accounts because they can be handled by the originator of that loan and when we pay a fee to them that is then hidden in adminstration costs which again isn't broken down for us, there's just a nice header and footer for each section and in doing so the brush is swept and the rug is laid down.
To put it in the simplest terms though Swab imagine our income and outgoing as 2 kids on a see-saw, the incoming side has been gorging himself on mcdonalds, dunkin doughnuts, and getting bigger and bigger every single year to the point we're one of the 10 fattest children in the entire world and then on the outgoing side the poor lad is suffering from malnutrition yet in the middle we have the counter weight of FSG telling us that everything adds up and both receive equal. In other words there's a lying greedy b***ard on one side and just because I can't prove it my instincts tell me I'm right and I'm happy enough after 7 years to believe what I can see to be true rather than what I'm asked to believe.
