Sky had us down as in profit since MON left (they said £69.5m in and £71m out) but I can`t make those figures 'work` and they didn`t break their figures down.
These are rough, some figures press quoted, others from transfermarket.com. They don`t include signing on fees or loan fees.

Your Comments
When did Arsenio Halfhuid leave?
plastic villan
............. it doesn't include wages either Mr F. That contributed to a£110m + loss over three seasons. Add that to the £250m + he spent with buying club etc.... and it is a lot of money to dish out with zero return. Who else would be willing to do this ??? we need to be careful what we wish for becuase if Lener thinks sod this the fans are annoying me now I'd rather give it to worthy causes, it'll be Championship or League 1 for us forever. I was at forest as a kid / YTS and I went there to the pre-season friendly we had and felt sad at how such a huge club has gone to the wind. That could be us if we don't get ourselves in order. As I said in the last article and I'll keep saying it, Rangers went bump and dissapeared with less debt than we have lost recently and so did Pompey, Leeds etc etc etc ..... there aren't any more people out there like Mansour looking for a club in Brum. UTV
astonmilan
no, just the transfer list astonmilan. and only a rough guide.
The Fear
Interesting stats there JF, thank you.
Pride of Lions
You are right AstonMilan but all I would add is sharply pulling the plug on the funds because we arnt breaking even/making profit doesnt really work very well... I think we should have been slowly wound down the way we have gone about it has been a disaster... you could argue the state of the club isnt primarily a money issue its just terrible footballing decisions... Im not sure what weighting you would attach to each tho...
CDX_EIRE
include the players wages in that and its alot. and remember bodymoor heath redevelopment was finished after Randy took over as well
its easy for fans to point the finger, so they are all blaming the owner. Lerner has a point we cant keep making huge losses, after all, when he took over we were 16th, last season, after £200m+ of investment we finished 16th.
david-avfc
apart from milner how embarrassing is the 08/09 season! £50m on a pile of *****! if you gave newcastle 50m to spend with there recruitment policy they would wint the bloody league !!!!
avfcwills10
13 mill a season not a bad spend, but nowhere near the vast amounts some people believe he's spent, and you will NEVER get near the champions league with a 13 mill a season outlay, now if you put that into context of how much money he has, he's put nowhere near the amount into the club that I have over the years. LERNER OUT.
eltoro
eletor well said, look also at the poor qualtiy of players recently, whic shows the wage culling and affects of this, championship and dark times here we come!UTV!
clivethevillan
Well maybe Sky also included TV revenue etc what Randy has received from the club aswell as paying out?? Whatever this club is a total mess, we can all see why Cleveland Browns protested to get hom out as there owner can't we
clivethevillan
God putting it in a list like that you realise how much money MON flushed down the toilet! Can't believe I didn't realise how poor he was in the transfer window at the time. Then again the other managers haven't been much better, I count only 10-12 players that were actually a success and worth what we paid and that doesn't include wages!
Lion Heart
Oh dear Lionheart mate, i admire your stance on defending Randy or trying too,but sorry all this ''Randy did this'' n ''Randy did that'' has been wearing thiner and thiner for the past 7 years dude, this is the third relelgation battle we have been in the last three years, but hey its all O'Neils fault i keep hearing PMSL, Cos Poor old Randy Lerner had no say in what O'Neil ws spending did he?? I mean O'Neil FORCED Randy to spend money and wages didn't he? It is not the OWNER'S job to run a football club and ensure the financie's are SUSTAINABLE for the immediate future?? ;}
clivethevillan
Clive please quote the line in which I defend or support randy whatsoever?? I don't believe I even mention the man. My point was how our recent managers have not been very successful in the transfer market. My comments on Randy will be saved for another day.
