Am I the only one who hinks we've been stitched up again? 27.5m for felli 4m for victor that's 31.5m in.
Mcarthy 13-15m
then lukaka loan and barry loan
Gezza loan
rubles 2m
kone 6m

That in my reckoning is approx 28m plus loan fees and wages. Even if that accounts for most of or slightly more than the 31.5m coming in for sales, where is the TV money and the supposed transfer money bill said we had. Three loan players who at least two of will leave at the end of the season and the loss of one of our best players.
I personally think we've been had of again, loan deals paper over the cracks and don't provide any stability for us moving forward. While moneys being pocketed again. {Ed025's Note - we have not received any tv money yet!.

25% of the overall sky/Bt package goes directly(equally divided)to the clubs, paid in bi-yearly installments, August and January.so we have received something as far as I know.then we get a per match payment(£575kper game last season) which has risen this year.all clubs are gaurenteed 10 games at least.overseas tv rights are also paid out, 18 mil per club last year.the new Tv deals should give
Us approx 35 mil extra tv income this season I believe.

3.) 05 Sep 2013
Yes you are the only one. Happy.

Mate the TV money has been borrowed against months ago. We have been had off by this club for years. Thew real problem thoough is players wages, Gareth Barry 120k a week and he may bew o nthe bench when Gibson is fit.

Some people want to spend every penny as soon as it's received . others have plans for the future . its called LONG TERM PLANNING . the future is bright, ask RM

6.) 05 Sep 2013
We don't have to spend money for the sake of it, we've done shrewd business .but will feel abit kidded if the next transfer window we say there's no money .everton statements have always indicated we never had to sell and we had 20 million for transfers, .u don't need to sell for wages and agent fees .that will all be part of the transfer budget .so we should have over 30 mill and 100 grand in wages off Felliani and victor .everton have made an issue of saying the mc carthy money was already there .

I'm a happy blue, I think Barry great addition, will really help Barkley and McCarthy. Plus how many players u want to bring in? Look how it worked for QPR or how Sunderland have started this season. COYB

Ur not taking into account lian fees, extra wages, money also may have been put aside for bainseys new contract!

9.) 05 Sep 2013
Sorry I didn't add my name its robbi, I get all this but the long term planning comment give me a break, I for one don't think we'll have a penny to spend come january and how can you say three One year loan deals are long term planning. I think some fans have short term views oin a lot of things! The same people call felli the best player in the world one week then rubbish the next!
And why go spend £100k a week salary on a loanee makes no sense unless he was a class act! which he isnt, he's good but ccertainkly not that good.

Any money will be invested back into the club and don't forget the jan transfer window. You can't please some people so let's just crack on with the new look squad and let's get in the top four.

11.) 05 Sep 2013
My god, some of you you people are clueless, do you spend all your income on payday!Thats not how business works. Its doubtful that we get feli money in one hit anyway, and also the club needs à cashflow, this will put us financially in a much stronger position come January
Why can't you be happy with à very good transfer window, the squat is much stronger now than before

12.) 05 Sep 2013
The fella on tv news stated that the Everton representative said that a bid on James McCarthy was not dependent on Fellaini sale.but the bid was £12m spread over 4 year? Who does that sort of bid in modern football. next Bill will be taking a mortgage to buy our next signing over 35 year! Saying that our last minute signing has made us stronger! {Ed025's Note - no one pays up front mate, the bale deal is apparently £20m down! and the rest in instalments!, its just the way it is mate..

Thought city would be paying a large percentage of barry's wages? who has confirmed we are paying gazza bazza 100k a week?

14.) 05 Sep 2013
I doubt we are paying barry 100k p/w, more like 50/50 with city

15.) 05 Sep 2013
How is a loan deal long term planning? Quite simple, by taking a player on loan for a season you do not have a transfer fee, agents fee and all the other tax liabilities that go with a transfer.

So in this case we have taken 3 quality players on loan. If that money saved is used to pay off capital on our reported debt of £46 Million, say £10 or £15 million could be offset against that figure it would greatly reduce our yearly repayments (considering the interest repayments alone will be around £3.5 million per year at least without paying a penny of the capital back) That would go a long way towards getting the club financially stable for the long term without affecting the effectiveness of the squad now.

Chill everyone,! I am RM's biggest doubters but other than Kone happy with the deals done. We aren't a rice club and do have to watch the cashflow like any business. What is all this we're being had over?! We owe money and therefore some may have to paid off at certain times. Being had over was Johnson owning two clubs, giving ther manager £20m he didn't have so took it back and then selling players without the managers knowledge! That's being had over. Do you really believe BK would go through all this struggling as he is pocketing millions? Where did Fellis original fee when we bought him come from then? Pattern is the same one fairly big signing McCarthy then some loans to support that. Relax

Most transfers are spread over 3 years, according to Christian Purslow or whatever his name is, so the proposed 4 year instalment deal for McCarthy wasn't as ridiculous peg leg was trying to make out.
Re the deal with the sky money- instalments, some paid August/September, more to follow in January.
Re interest payments- account for £7m per season, effectively cancelled out by our pitiful sponsorship deals (£4m Chang, £3m kitbag)
We're living a hand to mouth manner, and the wolves have been kept from the door for the foreseeable future with more sky money due, (although some of this has been borrowed against last season to pay down some debt, contributing to player wages etc).
I do think we've overpaid in loan players but just enjoy the lads whilst they're here and let the club worry about finances. Deulofeu could be with us another year and will be a big player given time and Lukaku could well provide us with the goals we've been desperately craving to make a legitimate claim for top 4.
We may have a few quid in the kitty for January, who knows, in the meantime get behind the lads on the pitch and show them we're the best fans on earth bar none
Granville. {Ed025's Note - good stuff that granville mate..

Nice article Granville

I think that you will find that there was a hefty sell on clause if he sold over the initial price paid so we may not have made as much as thought

2million of the Felli money goes to Standard liege

love reading some stuff on here, but really fed up with the moaners ( biffy/etc) can't decide if they are all r3dsh1t3 or just not proper blues.

shut up whinging about Kone and get behind the team!, or do you want Bobby sent back to Wigan as well?

22.) 08 Sep 2013
Looking at the tv revenue, no wonder some clubs are richer than others. How many times have the reds been on tv already this season?

23.) 09 Sep 2013
Wish some of you would wake up!
We're only in £45m debt because Kenwright wanted to keep hold of the club. He's saddled us with the debt.
He has done okay in one window in the last 8 and everyone is saying get off his back!
What has he done for this club in terms of tangible improvents apart from the 2 big screens either end of the ground?
