In the same rag that day there was a story about a pub in Hedon









Spending £350k improving it and that kinda put everything into prospective. The pub trade is very volatile at the moment and its a gamble investing that much in what is a small business, one a lot smaller the the FC operation. I have every confidence in the new set up at FC and a year from now it will be business as usual, profits and progress for FC .

But there hasn't actually been any PROFIT and certainly no PROGRESS, so how the hell will it be business as usual

Totally agree. Adam Pearson is not daft. He'd have done a full Due Dilligence on the club. Let's remember he's inherited bad financial situations at City on two occasions and was also experienced te financial mess at Leeds United. If he's spending his money, he's going to know what he's buying. Let's remember that this isn't football, it's not a speculative buy hoping for promotion to the Premiership and all the £millions that can bring. Yes, there could be a good honest return, but that is primarily dependent upon our success on the field leading to increased attendances, trips to Wembley/Grand Finals etc.

Pearson will also know how to manage the press, but his track record on that front with City is sound, there's been no Don Robinson-esqe 'We're going to play on the Moon' comments.

Time will tell, but I'm not worried. I'm sure attendances will be up this season and the ongoing operating costs of the club are now under control.

Believe and let's look forward to better times!

Two.



Predestination is an alternative, but I'd still consider having a crap destiny to be unlucky.

Another is that everybody gets exactly what they deserve all the time.

Care to point to any evidence of that?

Are you suggesting that, for the 6 years prior to this one, the legal documents submit to Companies House and to HMRC, in the form of Financial Statements, which are intependantly varified, have been incorrect?

Oh look - another Rovers fan with feeble comprehension skills.



Go read the article again. Carefully.

How much profit did you make and how would paying your tax bill have changed that?

The tax liability only came up last year,due to the loophole being closed.I await the amount of rovers EBT bill with anticipation.Hudgell is yet to publicly release figures concerning this,and considering AP has sorted ours out,if i were a dobbin,i would be very twitchy,especially with him being very quiet these days,or will he go begging to Allam again?

Might have used the £1 million soft loan to pay it off.

Hudg wouldn't lie to his own supporters surely? Didn't he say it was going towards ground and youth development?

Rovers fan disguise and Ross from friends, "we were on a break" voice on IT WASN'T A LOAN, IT WAS A GIFT Rovers fan disguise and Ross from friends, "we were on a break" voice off.

and i thort i spoke jibberish

Well, profits for 2010 were approx £77k, 2009 about £100k, in 2008 it was close to £200k (mainly on the back of a trip to Wembley). Admittedly this is off the top of my head, as if you were that bothered, you couldhave looked them up yourself.

The additional tax liability created through the closing of the EBT loophole is tax payable on wages and salaries. As is the case for any revenue expense of that nature (staff costs) it is tax allowable for corporation tax. That being said, as Hull have large accumulated losses, I doubt there is a Corporation tax liability to pay.

Hope that helps

Pay off Mason?

Nah,they got enough money off their supporters paying to watch him train for that.

(Wonder how much they lost on all those Mason shirts?)

He cost em a fair few quid that is for sure.

The gates never moved an inch

And remember how he demanded his money upfront while in Aus before he got on a plane? Must have seen Rovers credit rating.

Yet still less per game than Sean Long took your lot for!

Proof?

Nah! that was nothing compared to what Gleeson got out of us

We didn't big him up as the biggest signing in the SL era and the sport's David Beckham, only to scoop multiple awards for 2011 embarrassment/farce of the RL year, though. Still, it did earn Rovers a feature in the Lego season summary.

Don't expect me to defend the Mason debacle! It was more fun the 6 months waiting for him than the 6 games watching him!

I don't recall him scoring any gear for a team mate in his time though.

by "gear" you mean diet pills?

I am sure other members of both our squads in recent years have done worse, a LOT worse.
