Due out tomorrow 31/03/2025.
Doubt they’ll make good reading, we’ll no doubt see the extent of the damage that Hilton left us as a parting gift.March 30, 2025 at 8:05 am #301196I know we have had some statements informing us what debt was faced but it would be good if the club tried to explain why some decisions were made or had to be made.
March 30, 2025 at 8:08 am #301197Looking forward to one of you guys summarising for us.
March 30, 2025 at 10:57 am #301214If recent accounts are anything to go by they’ll be little to see.
March 30, 2025 at 11:01 am #301215Yeovil’s accounts made grim reading. Lost 2.8 million, kept afloat by owner selling off some of the assets in his portfolio. Owner and his children receiving abuse so is now selling up.
FC100k was a disaster and something we shouldn’t be touching with a barge pole…but something definitely needs changing across football to make clubs more sustainable. Clubs losing multiple millions whilst playing in NLN/S is bonkers!

March 30, 2025 at 11:08 am #301216Fans demand sustainability (not me) Michelle fails to deliver surely you can’t be happy.
March 30, 2025 at 11:16 am #301217Where did operating unsustainably get the club?
March 30, 2025 at 11:24 am #301218I’ll wager some sort of new drama will unfold once the accounts are published. I’m anticipating some Francis Austin action.

March 30, 2025 at 11:30 am #301220We can’t have our cake and eat it unless someone keeps buying us a new cake every time.
We aren’t that big a club but too big to survive down here or in the national league full time without efl money and more away fans etc.March 30, 2025 at 12:15 pm #301221There should be plenty of cash entries into the bank account from all those cheap season tickets?

March 30, 2025 at 1:04 pm #301223I hope the Unity Group’s contributions will be detailed.
March 30, 2025 at 1:28 pm #301226Unlikely to be any for this accounting period.

Don’t recall the club almost folding when Wharton took us to the Championship, remember Sharp and Hooper being sold around that period to enable us to operate in a more sustainable way because of the difficulties running a small club at a higher level, which was sensible. Football clubs aren’t like families when kids leave home and they realise bank of dad is what kept them going without all those years.

March 30, 2025 at 2:37 pm #301228We’ve made the back of the Non League Paper today, it describes United as “Cash strapped”. Losing money yes but not Cash Strapped? if so we wouldn’t be able to pay the players wages.
March 30, 2025 at 3:15 pm #301229Easy target a former EFL club living through hard times, crap headlines go with the territory I’m afraid.
March 30, 2025 at 3:19 pm #301230My sentiments regarding Wharton too I-A. I’d also add that though Swann picked up some debt from Wharton, he did so because Wharton left it a decent proposition which was frequently cited nationally as a well run club. Very different from an incompetent selling to a vulture and the latter having to be paid to leave.

Wharton did choose (was there any other option?) Swann though, didn’t he.

Wrong thread guys sorry but I see Unity Jerry n Co are funding an Easter Kids party .. surely loosing 60k a month and needing 5k a week according to Michelle this money would be better used going to the club not chocolate eggs and fluffy bunnies.
Unless of course Jerry is paying from his personal funds tho it does state the unity group are holding it.

Yes but there was no reason for him not to pass the F&P test back then and he clearly and transparently had access to funds. Wharton couldn’t have predicted what he’d do over the course of his tenure.
March 30, 2025 at 5:04 pm #301238Your recollection is pretty shite then Ironawe, Wharton threatened to liquidate the club if no one come forward to buy the club.
Don’t you recall the £5.500.000 wage bill in 2010/11 season that would bring a loss of nigh on £2 million the next, or the £3.7 million wage bill the next season with revenue of only of £3.200.000.
Then he left the club with loans to repay, wasn’t the kids who left home it was daddy.Didn’t find it on club accounts they seem to be showing Chesterfields for that era God knows why, but a quick search elsewhere soon brings it up.
March 30, 2025 at 5:58 pm #301246I can’t see how the accounts for the period that Hilton was in charge can be accurate, the vast majority of the money that came into the club never made it into the accounts, it never made it into the clubs bank account!

So are you saying Wharton left the club in a worse financial state when he left than Swann or Hilton? Quite astonishing if you are but I would expect nothing less from a disruptor rather than a rational thinker, fruitcake?
March 30, 2025 at 8:34 pm #301262Looking forward to seeing Awayswego perform some of his more nimble mental gymnastics to spin these accounts into a positive for Dave.

March 30, 2025 at 9:10 pm #301266Wharton and Swann pretty much the same debt in monetary terms allowing for inflation Wharton.
Hilton no where near he only owned the club.Take it you checked on Whartons losses.

Last time I checked Wharton hadn’t separated the club from it’s largest asset.

March 31, 2025 at 12:13 am #301277I believe Awaywego has separated his brain from reality, this of course is nothing new he has previous on this over the years, it’s not just a difference of opinion it’s the difference of not thinking rationally.
