Luton Town appear to be the outlier.
But even they lost £6.3m in 21-22 which must have come from somewhere? Its sums it up that even the outliers are losing that sort of cash. |

I think that Championship level losses are about £5/6m as a baseline. Luton had operating losses at that level but managed to turn that into a small profit through player trading. Brentford in their promotion season lost over £50m but made more than £40m on transfers. They're loaded up with board debentures as well but most relate to the ground development. So their model needs the ability to cover big losses if player trades don't pay off. |

Interesting to hear a Supporters' Club rep on Sam Parkin's BBC podcast saying that Morris never wanted to engage with them. No Monday Night panel or anything. Just so strange. Something catastrophic clearly happened very early on.

Didn't engage with the FITC lot either I think.
OK it's not directly relevant to first team footy but I think previous managers at least stuck their head in. Might be wrong

FITC? Why as a new manager would you pass up the chance to sell your vision to the fans and get them onside? Very odd to me. |

football in the community. Not directly relevant to the FC but as it's right next door.
I suppose he might have talked to them and the person who told me that be away at that time

It's hardly surprising as Leopards don't change their spots and you only have to look back to some of his antics 20 years ago.

I think Oxford is around £6k.
12k a week for Cameron Brannagan and £10k a week for Josh Murphy |

Baffling that we hired him if so. I know he had his problems back in the day but seemed quite an engaging guy in interviews and so on before he came here. Clearly well liked by Chelsea youth like Mount et al. It seems that the narrative is that Clem was swayed by Sandro on hiring him. Was Sandro a Chelsea fanboy? He has that air about him... and not in a good way! |

His quotes when Dworzak signed his pro contract suggested he didn't engage with anything outside the first team. |
