Madejski Announcement

[brendywendy]

Thank God you're here to make that point Brendy.

well if im not, who the hell else is.......oh

[FiNeRaIn]

Have you even bothered to look at the figures above your posting FR or will you continue to spout your ill informed nonsense?

If thats aimed at me, I haven't discussed accounts since the other day. My issue is the wages not expenses, apparently 20 million ish were out going on wages. This has to be nonsense because the average wage of our first team would have to be something near 20k per week just for 20 squad players to get close to that. We need to know how much the hotel is paying out because 20 million on wages is utterly disgraceful for this current crop of players. We have no one that should be on above 15k a week judging by their achievements, never mind an average wage of 20k including youth team players on that. Our wages our way too much for the calibre of players we have. Shane long was on reportedly 9k a week...that should give you some perspective on why this makes no sense.

[brendywendy]

The shit's really going to hit the sack now that Bendy's here!

would have been earlier, but the internets gone on me phone and ive been away.

my humblest apologies.

i go away for four days, and all of a sudden our fans start a revolt.
im cancelling my week in turkey

[Friday's Legacy]

he said nothing we haven't heard before and confirms that there's next to no money available now, and without future sales there wont be any money to spend in the future either. this football club is only going to go south without investment.

[WoodleyRoyal]

are you including, appearance fees, goal bonuses, assist bonuses, clean sheet bonuses, bonuses to players for reaching certain rounds of the cup or play offs FR?

[ZacNaloen]

Of course he's not.

He's also forgotten we have a squad of 40.

[brendywendy]

^ Those figures above are for RFC Holdings right? What constitutes RFC Holdings please? Does it not encompass the hotel?

excellent meh face RL. superb stuff.

[brendywendy]

Where's the £25m we spent on the hotel refurb?

is it tied up in soft furnishings in the hotel?

[Avon Royal]

LOL at taking accounts at face value!

Reminds me, I must go see how my Enron shares are doing...............

[URZZ]

Have to agree with the majority of this; albeit I wouldn't say it's completely fair to say we're a failure in terms of judging their achievements...

Last year, the second FA Cup run in consecutive turn, a Play-Off Final... that is not bad whatsoever. And as far as current achievements, we're oxf*rd 4 games in... But like I said, I do agree with you mostly because at this level I don't think anyone should be over 15k anyway. And that of the Premiership, quote me a wage? Some of them are just fcuking ridiculous - and I understand by this I'm opening up another subject in itself but ya know what I'm saying.

15k is appropriate for that of an RFC player IMHO.

[brendywendy]

Whereas of course the virtual opposite is also true.

Every time we lose a game or 2 the club is deemed a massive failure and heading for relegation and oblivion.... and then somehow it doesn't seem to happen.

I agree, but people cracking out " we don't want to spend money like ipswich...look at them haha shit retards" after two games is ridiculous.

Well yes, I do agree with that. (Common ground eh?)

Look at Norwich 2 years ago! (Ah, beaten to that point...)
And anyway, anyone who says "haha shit retards" (if anyone actually did) needs to have a look at themselves.

you would have preferred to go down to league 1?!

[Royal Lady]

So, just to be clear - do those account or do they not INCLUDE the hotel?

[T.R.O.L.I.]

you would have preferred to go down to league 1?!

Think of the new grounds, Brendy!

[FiNeRaIn]

Of course he's not.

He's also forgotten we have a squad of 40.

LOL if you think that the likes of obita and the other 10 players in their teens in that squad will be on anything above 500 quid a week...nevermind nearly 20k

does it make no sense cos your making stuff up, guessing , taking tabloid figures, grossly underestimating our squad size, and forgetting that you also like to be able to attract the best players and keep them, which wouldnt happen if we payed them all 2k a week?

[brendywendy]

LOL at taking accounts at face value!

Reminds me, I must go see how my Enron shares are doing...............

surely enron are an example that proves that if you oxf*rd about and lie in your accounts, you will get found out, even if you are a mega huge super richpowerful and influential company?

[Royal Lady]

BUMP

win bonuses? Yearly wage rises? signing on fees? no?

[ZacNaloen]

I find it unlikely we actually have a wage bill of 20 million this season, seeing as that wage bill paid for by parachute payments.


Without that money I can't see how we can even afford a 10 million wage bill with our incomings.
Perhaps this our problem and why we have to sell players?

[Bandini]

Of course he's not.

LOL if you think that the likes of obita and the other 10 players in their teens in that squad will be on anything above 500 quid a week...nevermind nearly 20k

The 20 million referred to the wages of the squad up to the time of the last accounting period to which the accounts relate, not the amount being earned by the current squad.
