QPR's wage bill doubles - and that's even before the last two transfer windows are included in financial figures

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...l-figures.html

Quote:

#QPR 2012 results have been published: a loss before tax of Â£22.6m, which is a small improvement on 2011 loss of Â£25.4m

The impact of promotion to Premier League is clear in #QPR 2012 results with revenue rising from Â£16.2m to Â£64.0m.

Unfortunately #QPR do not analyse the Â£64m revenue, but we know they got Â£43.3m from Premier League TV deal, while gate receipts were Â£7.7m.

#QPR wage bill almost doubled from Â£29.7m to Â£58.5m, but wages to turnover ratio fell from 183% to 91%.

#QPR wage bill not outlandish compared to many other clubs in 2011/12, e.g. Everton Â£63m, Fulham Â£62m, Bolton Â£55m, Stoke Â£53m.

However, only Blackburn and Bolton had worse wages to turnover ratio than #QPR 91% in 2011/12 Premier League. For context, Man City was 87%.

It should be noted that the 2012 #QPR wage bill of Â£58.5m is before all the high-profile signings this summer and January.

Worryingly, the #QPR aggregate losses for the last four seasons amount to a sizeable Â£80m.

#QPR net debt is up from Â£56.1m to Â£88.9m (gross debt Â£90.5m less Â£1.6m cash).

All of #QPR debt is owed to the clubâ€™s owners and (in theory) repayable in instalments before 22 May 2014 or on demand

Owners put Â£39m funds into #QPR in 2012, so club has required Â£104m of funding in last 4 years, split between loans and capital injections.

#QPR fans will surely be hoping that the owners emulate Al Fayed at Fulham and Whelan at Wigan by converting debt into equity at some stage.

one word of caution: Dzeko to Bayern was also almost done last year, before too many agents asked for too much commission

Dzeko is a similar case to Balotelli, imo. Needs to be no1 striker to fully function, Man City can't/won't offer that

More pressure from Usmanov? Now admitting to 18,661 shares, 5 short of 30%. A showdown is approaching . . .

To reiterate share situation: if/when Usmanov gets to 30%: he doesn’t get a seat on the board, have access to more info or have to make bid.

But 30% has been a longstanding R&W target, and is symbolic and will be used to put pressure on current board through media attention.
