Oxford United publish 24/25 accounts, when the club finished 17th in the Championship.
The bonkers nature of football finance is that the club is being evicted from the current stadium, and the £10m spent to date on finding/building a new one is not allowed for PSR purposes.

@bphillipsonMP @Alison_S_Taylor @AberlourCCT Ah yes brilliant, so now more of the population will help people who can’t afford to have that many kids you fucking stupid idiot.
Actual dumb pricks

This week we ended the two child limit.
In England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Great to hear from parents, @Alison_S_Taylor and @AberlourCCT about the difference that change will bring to every corner of our country.

And yet we get shafted with some rubbish Nike template.

@TheMapReader @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Then we are no different from your club or any other club tbh.
English

@Shottonstache @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Were you at the fans forum? I personally wasn’t as had to work but that’s probably a question you could have asked then?
I mean the owner wants us competing at the highest level possible that’s why, he’s obviously prepared to bankroll it.
Many clubs are run the same way.
English

@Stuartjamess @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Exactly. Which is why it is important to question how and why the club has built up such massive debts and, on face value, potentially in breach of the EFL's PSR rules. You control the things that you can control...
English

@norman_kieron @Jowl30 Yeah, had loads where the post my picture while being a faceless account on here as they’ve got no bollocks to own their views.
Really wish every account had to verify who they are and it match to their ID.
I don’t think half as many would have the bollocks then
English

@Stuartjamess @Jowl30 don’t get how they think tbh “ah yeh im gonna take mick out of how you look while too scared to show myself”
English

@Shottonstache @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Well anything can happen in world that changes things but not things we can control.
English

@Stuartjamess @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire I'm sorry, but that's a very naive view. We don't know how the stadium is to be funded, nor what the actual ownership structure is going to be. We are carrying c.£60m in debt with negligible assets. A significant shock (Iran?) to Thohir's businesses leaves us in a bad place.
English

@Jamie_Hodder21 @FAspokesperson Not really, just shit decisions have consequences.
If we go down, we go down. Won’t end the world for me, will still have a football club
English

@TheMapReader @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire So what are you doing currently? At the whim of an owner no?
English

@Stuartjamess @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire We did, yes. The difference is, those losses weren't covered by the whim of an owner.
English

@mej050593 @Zero_4 Definitely and pandering to extremists, thankfully I think most sane people can see it.

@TheMapReader @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire So you made it to the premier league while making a profit? I’m sure you made a loss the years you got promoted.
English

@Stuartjamess @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire We've never made it to the Premier League whilst spending someone else's money.
English

@barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Exactly, unfortunately will never happen which is why we have what we have now.
English

@Stuartjamess @KieranMaguire agree on that. Surely u cud take average wage bill for last 10 years. Go for 75% of it as the limit and give relegated PL teams 1 year grace to adjust. After that it’s -10 start year after anyone who busts it. 🤷🏻♂️
Would be more sustainable and competitive.
English

@SweeneySteve You work for Russian news propaganda, you were told not to be where they were going to target and you did it anyway, that’s your fucking fault.
English

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken
English

@barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Yeah.
Tbh probably think there should be caps and it should be the same caps for every club, that way it’s how you recruit and how you spend the money you actually have. If everyone had the same budget then it would create a far more interesting league overall.
English

@Stuartjamess @KieranMaguire 100% agree it’s PL fault.
Should be spend caps in every league. Believe L1 has it now.
Can’t believe owners in CH don’t scream for it with the amount they shit up the wall every year on just staying in the league.
English

@RupertLowe10 @Loves_England Deport Akhmed Yakoob while you are at it
English

@barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Get your point but let’s face it, teams in the premier league are losing £50-60m a year and nobody bats an eyelid.
It will never be a fair playing field, the parachute payments have seen to that, so wealthy owners have to make up the gap.
English

@Stuartjamess @KieranMaguire That’s my point. It needs a total expenditure cap putting in every single team is losing ridiculous amounts.
Even with a new Stadium which is class for you, ur not cutting those losses down much, still be losing 10m a year to survive in CH, its nuts.
English

If you wanted it that much, Kevin Hart ain’t stopping it 😂
Dov Kleiman@NFL_DovKleiman
Insane: Kevin Hart had to break up a fight between Gronk and Logan Paul at the flag football press conference. "I'm gonna beat your a** and all your brothers a**'s." These two truly hate each other...🫣😳
English

@TheMapReader @barxthefourth @KieranMaguire Fair enough & im really not.
I highly doubt you gave a shit when you was losing millions making it to the premier league
