@crimp_it Agreed. Just a shame that after selling Blackett-Taylor we don't even have the players to play 4-4-2 either. The only actual winger I can think of is Campbell and he hasn't exactly had the best season...
In the 2011/12 promotion season, £800k was spent on acquiring players for a total wage bill cost of £8.8m, in 2019 £500k was spent on signings and £10.4m on salaries. #CAFC
However #cafc are very good at selling players compared to the rest of the division and have been for years (or very ambitious, depending how you look at it). https://t.co/gLnwooQZs9
@soverncomfort Presumably this will relate to Kirk, Fraser, Stockley, Aneke, and Clare. However it'll also include any agent fees (Charlton spent just under £200k from Feb 21 to Jan 22) and any fees relating to loan signings as they are also considered intangible asset additions.
Transfer spend is not a good indicator of success, the wagebill is far better - However, last season was the most #CAFC have ever spent on transfers in the third tier (£1.7m), and only #ITFC (£3.3m) spent more on players. https://t.co/gLnwooQZs9
@ScottJHamilton Probably, but the accounts don't specify. They likely also include agent fees though. The EFL publish these annually so the account periods don't quite match up - but Charlton spent over £200k between Feb 2018 and Jan 2019 on agent fees. Part of this was in the 18/19 season
#CAFC wage bill in 2021/22 was likely the fifth biggest in the league (Sunderland & Sheff Wed are yet to publish theirs, while Wycombe haven't published full accounts). It was also was 2% larger than the 2018/19 Promotion winning squad.
@airmanbrown I suspect it is something to do with this. Someone has amended it in one place but left the old categorisation somewhere else. Match day revenue is higher in the second mention, perhaps something to do with the renting of the ground to the YouTube group etc
@WestLondonAddi1 @RichCawleySLP To be honest I agree with him. I hope Sandgaard is done but I fear we'll end up being seen as a toxic supporter base because of this. I hope investors are attracted to London and the decent academy but I guess we'll see. We've gone through too much shit
#CAFC have employed 12 managers in the last decade, the 10th highest total in the entire #EFL and #PL . Who will come through the revolving door next? https://t.co/3zJFZbBm6f
