SAFC's ground produces less match day revenue than Goodison even in its present state. 'Value' is never quite black and white.
Not sure your training ground in 'undoubtedly superior' to Everton's newer facility but as we're looking at value EFC's is leased as is common business practice. So cash injection when sold but overall greater lease cost over a period.
I take it this is before the Lukaku deal?
The profit from player sales was 28.2 million. The profit in the year was 28.2 million.
We will be breaking even with the new deal excluding player sales.
Not with the new tv deal we won't. We'll be on an even keel operationally much like everton.We aren't self-sustaining. We make a loss every year.

We've definitely cut down the losses from when Short first took over mind. Wasn't last year only a £8million loss or something compared to about £35million in his first season. The problem is this cut in spending has had a pretty massive effect on the pitch.Not sure that's true at all. Without the fellaini money they would still have been even or just in profit.
We are still operating at a loss.
They also reduced the net debt down by £27m as well though, which suggests that profits would have been far bigger.
More happy that our debt has been reduced from £45 to £28 mil in a season tbh especially when you see clubs like Liverpool looked at by EUFA for the losses it's made in recent years and Utds total losses for their poor season last year.
We flogged felliani that year but also spent a good £20-25 mil or so on mccarthy, Kone, Robles and loan fee's for lukaku and barry
The big news is seeing how they will fund the new stadium. By sounds of it it's gonna be some form of project including housing, retail etc so providing they get investment from a 3rd party and/or naming rights sold I wouldn't be shocked if the club took a chunky loan out if we can be debt free come next season or so/looking good on paper borrow to from the banks
Lukaku may have been a bit salty at what £28m?, but you've still got a decent bunch of young and valuable players in your squad.
The new stadium malarkey poses some risk, but from an outsider's perspective, certainly at the moment anyway, EFC look to be in pretty damn good shape.

The gross debt has actually increased by £1m and we're still borrowing off VIBRAC as an advance for TV money.
Overall from what I can gather we are very slightly better off this year than last but it's just creative accounting and wholly thanks to BSkyB and BT. Commercial revenues have actually fallen which is criminal in 2014 in the PL
The new stadium won't happen mate with this board, they've failed twice prior and have no plan this time.
quite a few blues think the same mate that we over paid but for me he's worth every penny, I seen this stat last week after he scored against burnley:
"Romelu Lukaku has now scored 36 goals in the Premier League since 2012/13. Only Suarez (54), Van Persie (40) and Aguero (38) have more"
for a 21 year old who's still growing and developing as a player that's a phenomenal goal scoring record, especially as Suarez, RVP and aguero are all in their primes and you look at what suarez has just been sold for, what aguero would cost and what Van Persie would cost if he was a few years younger than what he is.
I'll be devastated the day we leave goodison mate you don't realise the memories you do have of a stadium, been taken by loved ones as a kid that are no longer here etc. I'll be gutted, but I think its vital in moving the club forward the obstructed seats and capacity I think hold us back and I think the day we move stadium is the day the board sell the club. They wont sell right now when they can double their money if we move stadium in a few years!

First of all, you seem to have lost it already. Didnt take long. A couple of points, a couple of questions and youre off on one.
Secondly what I am saying is that I would be singing his name from the rooftops if he had managed previous transfers credibly and not lurched from one policy to another. Why didnt he stop previous managers buying shite like Danny Graham (loads of other candidates on whom money has been frittered away on) and balanced the books in previous seasons? Where was our financial accumen then?
We go on like a kid in a sweet shop one minute and then go on like the kid crying on the steret corner because he cant buy any sweets the next, bleating on about poverty when we've wasted tens of millions of pounds on crap.
I'm all for financial credibility but considering we now have a weakened squad to execute this policy from, its clearly brinkmanship as to whether he can pull this off and maintain our top flight status. Clearly a small profit this year would be very welcome to offset the large losses in previous seasons.
Can a squad that includes; a goalie who has had his confidence shattered, ageing central defenders, midfielders who cant create chances and forwards who cant score goals, stay up? I hope so because using your scenario they are going to seemingly have to without a lot of help in the transfer market this season.

Has Lukaku actually been any good this season? He's looked way off the pace in the games I've seen, I don't know if he's just a bit knackered from the last few seasons and his lack of break over the World Cup. His goal at the weekend was as jammy as you like.
