the difference between Hulls profit and Rovers loss is 293k...we 'saved' some money by Crocker not arriving, but it certainly woulden't been that much.

we are just being run and operated more efficiently.

the way the SL teams accounts are going it'll be a 2 horse championship between us and Leeds in a couple of years!

You certainly can.

The last time Hull fc filed their accounts hull went against their accountants adviceand included players transfer values as a tangible fixed asset. not doing this would reduce their fixed assets and reduce their capital and reserve by £780,000. Its not always simple as looking at the headline figures as those accounts show.

HTH.

Booooooooooooooooooooooo

Damn you spoitl it for me now, I was working the anagram out

Do you know why they bother showing these figures in the balance sheet??

I expect they're attempting to be clever about something. No idea what, though.

Not really. I've got accounts that go back to 2003 and there was a valuation shown then, so it's been going on at least 7 years. Might have been that at one point when the club had more signficant levels of debt and there was talk of a new buyer coming in they wanted to put a valuation on the players (as the value of unexpired contracts would definitely be a consideration for a buyer negotiating a price even if not normally included in the filed accounts) and this was a way of formally documenting it. To have it flagged as news when it's at least 7 years out of date is quite funny - surprised it's not an HDM scoop TBH. In terms of credit rating, intangible valuations are usually adjusted for, but there are plenty of things other than just filed accounts included, like CCJs and frequency and extent of payment outside agreed terms.

Last posted accounts are for 2008 when I'm pretty sure we were at full cap.

We weren't last year but the figures aren't out yet so will be interesting to see what they look like.

2008 was a Wembley year which was probably the difference between a profit and a loss.

If rovers were down at the bottom due to spending
less they wouldn't be averaging 13k so would still post losses

Are you sure about that?

That would take a collossal breach of standard accounting practice

That would be interesting being a hull fan played 27 lost 27
