Birmingham City: financial boom or bust??? 

Birmingham certainly not the only ones Des!

it's not it's out of date 2022/2023 is pre-Knighthead the club made a 21.43m profit 2023/2024 and have owners that are worth over 19billion. 15M has just been injected into the club on top of that and a 4.2m sponsorship deal with undefeated and Nikie collaboration plus the pay per click generated 16m to date and is ongoing. The club turned over 40m 21.43m of that is profit.

In the pipeline James

No there isn’t it’s worse, Instead it’s the Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP) is the Financial Fair Play rules for all League One and League Two Clubs. The SCMP requirement is whereby a Club's Player-Related Expenditure shall not exceed the sum of 60% or 50% of the Club's Relevant Turnover for League One and League Two Clubs respectively. So In theory its worse

Correct that next season Birmingham will have new rules for next year - but will still need to be assessed for this season

You're right Mark but they can also include 100% of"football fortune income" (may be the oddest name yet!) which includes player sales and equity cash injections in that revenue number

@@Mark12106 In the first season following relegation the sum is 70%. There are some exclusions on this relating to home grown players under the age of 20 which are not counted in the wages turnover. This will exclude the wages of Jordan James and George Hall for a start. A number of players currently on substantial wages are out of contract this summer and probably a few contracted players will not want to play in League One. They will generate additional, albeit, modest transfer fees and savings on wages. If Real Madrid win the Champions League Blues will get additional £3.5m on the Jude Bellingham deal. The new owners are spending £15m this summer on a variety of projects across the club including improving the corporate facilities in the railway end stand and two match day fan zones to increase revenue. I don't think they would be doing this if they were not confident that they can make the team successful on the pitch. They can and, they will. The financial situation is not great for many clubs but we really don't have the full details. Much will depend on what the club does to generate income but their plan is to do this via corporate sales and partnerships. All Blues fans just need to be glad this relegation did not come 12 months ago before Knighthead took over. We really would have been in serious trouble if that had happened. Believe in the club. KRO.

Under 20s and players on 3/5 year contracts are not declared the club can spend what they like on players..​@Mark12106

Thanks

Don’t be, our finances are fine. We’ve generated 40m+ in revenue this year.

Your fucked

It's not true it is bullshit the club made a 21.43m profit 2023/2024 and have owners that are worth over 19billion, 15M has just been injected into the club on top of that and a 4.2m sponsorship deal with undefeated and Nikie collaboration plus the pay per click generated 16m to date and is ongoing.
