West Brom - Profit

Tuscany
My lad has several footballs if you want one. You might need to put a bit of air in it though and Bates has plenty of the hot variety if you're stuck.

is there any simple answer as to why West Brom are making profit and Leeds aren't?
---------------
Which of this clubs has Bates as a chairman?

Which of the companies that Bates has ever been involved with over the last 50 years has ever made the profits they should have?

Eddie, sorry a football club, not a football with 4 sons there are plenty of footballs dotted around the ground - some flat because of dogs

Don, I don't doubt you in the slightest and I find that scenario madness.... whilst I admit if I did own a football club I'd have to run it as a business otherwise you'd be pouring money away from your childrens future as well as your own... but a well run business, seemingly like West Brom still sign players, and compete in at the top level of English football....

I've run this past my head accountant but she is Hull city fan so her answers are clouded with Leeds United hatred... I've already started the ball rolling for her P45

honestly, I cannot get my head around this...

Bluememe... surprisingly good comment by the way

Jonty.... hope you are well?

to your question I do not know to be fair, any examples you can use other than the great LUFC ?

Did Swansea not make a profit of £600k on a £10m turnover and they signed some good players in thechampionship and div 1.

did they Don?

Think so Tuscany there was some debate on here about it, but i am sure it can be looked up.

All the best business people are a little under hand in some situations like or not, it happens... certainly I'm no angel for sure.. you don't get to the top by sending chrsitmas cards to everybody and kissing bottoms.

but the situation at Leeds seems very strange... I just can't can't get my head around it.... comparing to the likes of West Brom.

West Brom have played the (Unfair in my view) system like a dream over the last few years. They have a business model that accepts they will never challenge for the top spot and have player contracts that take into account relegation, so players paid on a sliding scale. They have a preffered plan of bouncing as parachute payments mean they can compete at the very top of the championship and gain promotion, so you-yo a lot, but each season back in the prem means they get stronger each year. It works and means that a small outfit like WBA are a mile ahead of us in terms of being well run
