I have had a skim read.  Frustrating that we're looking in the rear view mirror, to an extent (given that the accounts under discussion are for the year ended 31/05/2011), but interesting none the less.  Not great, but neither am I horrified; the 2010/11 season being one of the lowest points in our history.  Andrew Fitton gets good marks as a scout (Ferry, Caddis) but those redundancy costs...ouch!

I will give it a closer read later on.

It's not that bad considering it includes investing in Caddis, Ferry, Ritchie and Flint. As you said, looking in the rear view mirror, It's hard to believe that those players won't see us at least recoup that money in the future.

What sort of contract was Hart and Mcpharlane on where they get quite a sizable redundancy?

How sizable?
£263,982 , ok thats for five members of staff: Danny Wilson, Peter Shirtliff, George Wood, Paul Hart and Ian McPartland

i'm not sure how contracts and stuff works, but shouldn't wilson and  hart have been sacked without compensation?

Very true.  One of the anomalies (or quirks) of financial reporting for football clubs is that the carrying values of the better, more marketable players are not capitalised and shown as balance sheet assets.  All for understandable reasons - how exactly would you obtain the fair value for a player?  But nevertheless it does mean that the financial statements recognise the cash outlay in the P&L account, but not the associated asset value in the balance sheet...which skews the picture.  Club accounts are going to look rosy in the years when we sell talent and less so when we buy - which is misleading, unless the spending is profligate.

Hart and MacParland were both on very short term contracts with bonuses linked to survival....which we did not so I would imagine it would not have been much of a golden handshake more of a shitty fuck off.
