#BHAFC 2012 detailed results have been published: loss after tax of £9.1m (2011 loss £6.8m).
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...3/18.jpg:large

Many larger losses in Champ'ship 11/12: Leicester £29.7m, West Ham £25.5m, Bristol City £14.4m, Cardiff £13.6m, Forest £11.6m, #BHAFC £9.1m.

#BHAFC 2012 revenue £22.2m up from £7.5m in 2011. reflecting promotion to Championship from League One.

#BHAFC 2012 revenue £22.2m (2011 £7.5m): ticketing £7.9m (2011 £2.3m), TV £5.7m (2011 £1.6m), commercial £8.6m (2011 £3.6m).

#BHAFC 2012 commercial £8.6m (‘11 £3.6m): sponsorship £3.9m (£2.0m), retail £2.0m (£0.5m), catering £1.3m (£0.0m), 1901 club £0.0m (£1.1m).

#BHAFC 2012 accounts: 2011 comparatives restated, so revenue £0.4m higher, other op income £0.5m lower, expenses £0.1m lower. No net impact.

#BHAFC 2012 staff costs doubled to £14.7m (2011 £7.2m), but wages to turnover ratio down from 95% to 67%.

#BHAFC 67% wages to turnover ratio lower than many in Championship: Bristol City 157%, Leicester 130%, #Boro 119%, Forest 119%, Cardiff 103%

#BHAFC 2012 other costs more than doubled from £7.5m to £16.9m, due to “costs of running a state of the art stadium”.

#BHAFC 2012 gross debt of £120.5m (2011 £95.0m) – owed to Tony Bloom (unsecured & interest-free). Less £10.2m cash gives net debt £110.3m.

#BHAFC Including £18m capital injected in 2009, Tony Bloom has put nearly £140m into the club. Since year-end £40m converted into capital.

#BHAFC Amex stadium cost £103m & expansion will cost £15m. New training ground will cost £22m (per 2011 a/c), so total commitment of £140m.

West Ham are on the brink of sealing a £14million deal for Ivory Coast powerhouse Wilfried Bony.

His arrival means that the club are unlikely to take up a £15m option to sign Andy Carroll.

Liverpool have been alerted to England Under-19 forward Robert Hall’s contract stand-off with West Ham, exclusive by Matt Law. The Reds, Fulham and Southampton are all chasing Hall, who could be available for as little as £500,000 at the end of the season. Hall is one of the brightest prospects in the country and has shone on loan at Birmingham. His current West Ham contract is due to expire in the summer and, unless he signs a new deal, the 19-year-old will only cost a compensation fee.
