It's littered with one-offs so nothing to get too excited about, but it will increase the price for anyone wanting to buy them.Quote:

That's a very strange phrase. It reads as if they have sold off multiple players for that fee to another company, which would then receive income from other clubs when the players were actually transferred. That would explain (for example) the phrase in that email Mikey reproduced that they had already got a certain amount of money for Ryan McGowan, and that selling him (and the reported fee) wouldn't help the club.Quote:

Speaking of which, I'm wondering about the timing of their ST launch. By all accounts they needed the discounted Wallace money from the Huns to pay Feb wages and crowds at the Wongadome have nosedived therefore you would think STs should've been out weeks ago. I wonder if they've done a Ticketus/Huns type securitisation deal?Quote:

Great news for a newco scenario as well, the new club would be asking the morons to stump up a second time.
Item 25 of the accounts specifically mentions receiving £ 700,000 for Wallace and £510,000 for Jonnson being included in the total of £ 2.9million received ( period 1/7/2011 to date of accounts 5/4/2012 )Quote:

Just had a look - that note reads to me like the player sales are in addition to the £2.9m, but it's not entirely clear. They will be including the full £1.5m receivable for Wallace in these accounts as it wasn't contingent on anything and has now been received in full, but they will also have to include the tax liability as you say. I don't know if there were any other players sold, I just had a feeling I was missing someone.Quote:

That must be £6m over and above ordinary turnover in that period.Quote:

No, I think you're right - they'll have to knock that £100k off in these accounts.Quote:

As P/TS says, the note is very strangely worded. It doesn't read like it relates to HoMFC players being sold, more like some sort of fees for acting as agents. These accounts are going to be very interesting if they ever do appear.Quote:

To be fair it actually looks like being a good deal for HMFC, given that the only players sold since then are Templeton and McGowan. That raised about £1M in fees, but there are hardly any other players worth anything that they control. And that advance transfer cash probably got them out of a big hole last season.
Aye, so he was. I guess it was just those two that were sold then.Quote:

Im sorry but what manager in their right mind would even consider taking a managerial position at that utter shambles of a club! Yes i'm sure its well paid but the whole club is a farce and that manager is just a puppet to a higher power.Quote:
