Just like to wish the Eds the best of luck.
We've just released our annual figures.

Just read about it then - it sounds good to me. Club has reduced it's debt drastically, it is now far more secure and operating within reasonable parameters it can afford and is growing continually - the commercial side of the club certainly seems to be paying dividends with the new, more professional approach the owners have taken since joining. Our on field form is bad and that is something well known but this report, about our off field stuff, seems like good news to me.

{Ed002's Note - You don't understand about the debt. You need to look very carefully at the word "external".}

Personally don't understand the likes of "external", do you see these set of results as disappointing then?

{Ed002's Note - No, the results are fine and the loss is less than expected.}

Without reading the accounts in detail, I would assume that the "external" issue is that the amount of money we owe 3rd parties has fallen. However, I would imagine that a bit of digging will sho that our "internal" (for want of a better word! ) debt has risen, i. e. FSG have been loaning us money to cover losses etc. Famously we were losing £1m per week then they arrived.

The club has posted an annual loss of £20 mill which I am sure would be ignored on this site conveniently.

Not at all, Harry. 20m is a lot less than the 50m that the club was hemorrhaging every season so not complaining about that, my friend.
