Quote: ninearches "You didn't read the article in the Guardian a few months ago then about the dip in profits, but i am sure Draper's expertise will be put to better use serving the game as a whole anyway.'"
I certainly did see the article, I keep a sad passing interest over the financial performance of the club.
I saw financial results that were profitable, despite significant transfer spend, lowest attendances for some time and extrodianary 'Admin' costs of £500k (which seemed to tie in with the expenditure in the new indoor training base, although why that would be classified as Admin I have no idea).
I'd imagine that Wembley, Old Trafford and the Shield would have netted us £400k at least.
