Our year end is the end of June isn't it? It got moved forward when they changed the league cup I think.

So the cash balance would be the money received for ST sales up to the end of June, which I imagine would be the bulk of it but not all.

If we're just using cash balance then I don't think we'd know what was ST sales and what was left over from last period either (again, mostly the former though). Deferred income would be the best indicator of how ST sales were going for the next season (by the point of reading it would be the season we're in the middle/near the end of) up to the point of the end of June.

I'm with hibbysam on this one, most people look at the income in the p&l as their point of reference, dated as it may be.
I stand corrected, the last published accounts were to July 2nd 2019. Would it not have been changed to coincide with the change of ownership?

Obviously the cash balance doesn't tell the whole story, but it remains a decent pointer.
