What on Earth is going on at Colchester? This season they brought in the Cowleys who won’t have been cheap, and they are still hovering over the drop zone. Despite the £38 million accumulated losses they still have a pretty poor team that one assumes will be total overhauled in the summer at yet more cost.

One has to ask what the point is?

I think it’s fair to say that bother Rodgers and mullarkey aren’t as bad as they looked/seemed during that awful patch so I think they both merit keeping but bringing in a replacement for Maher.
I’d try to keep Hume if we’re intending on playing wingbacks next season but feel we could do better if it’s a left back we are looking at.
An experienced keeper is almost the most important position we need to get right next season.
More technical ability in midfield is an absolute must and in my opinion ruthless decisions need to be made on Clifton and Gav if we are going to improve.
I actually don’t mind Artell and would like to see what he could do with a summer transfer window with his own players but what I’ve been told is it’s either rose or artell and very unlikely to be both I know which one I’d rather see stay.

An interesting breakdown of how much money is being thrown around even at league 2 level .


Pardon my ignorance , is retained earnings meaning debt ?

Yes

Although a lot of it is directors loans .

Colchester for example i know it's debt owing to the owners business and their fans think it's all well and good ; it is providing his business continues to do relatively well but if it has a bad year they would be in a big mess you would have thought .

It's certainly better to carry a small debt rather than the large one's we see from other clubs - we are in a great position off the pitch which will be made even stronger when it's written off .

Where has this come from? First I’ve heard of it.

What's the deal with Doncaster as that looks bleak for them.

On the flipside Steve Evans has done an astonishing job at Stevenage.

JS & AP talked of a steep learning curve when they took over.
1st Season Promoted.
2nd Season mid table & FA Cup run.
3rd Season relegation struggle.

Hopefully, by now they have learnt and will now know a bit more about running a football club.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

It is accumulated profits/losses since the company was formed
