Sunderland 2012 detailed accounts have been published: £32.3m loss is significantly worse than 2011 £7.8m loss #SAFC


#SAFC loss is even higher than previously announced OPERATING loss of £26.9m, due to loss on player sales £3.1m and interest £2.2m.

#SAFC £32.2m loss is 3rd highest in 2011/12 PL, only below #MCFC £98.7m and #LFC £40.5m. Total losses for last 4 years are £95m.

Main reason for £24.5m rise in #SAFC loss is player sales: 2011 £25.6m profit to 2012 loss £3.1m. Losses due to releasing players cheaply.

Last year #SAFC player sales included Henderson, Bent and Jones, while 2012 losses presumably due to Malbranque, Ferdinand, Gyan, etc.

#SAFC 2012 revenue £78.0m (2011 £79.4m): gate receipts £14.1m (2011 £12.4m), TV £47.0m (2011 £48.1m), commercial £16.8m (2011 £18.9m).

#SAFC 2012 wages up 5% to £64.0m (2011 £60.9m) with wages to turnover ratio rising from 77% to 82%.

Before tomorrow’s big north-east derby, interesting that both #SAFC and #NUFC have almost exactly the same wage bill at around £64m.

#SAFC 2012 highest paid director received £2.4m, incl £2m compensation for loss of office, presumably chairman Niall Quinn (left Feb 2012).

#SAFC 2012 gross debt up £6m to £85m (2011 £79m), comprising £41m owed to owner Ellis Short, bank loans £33m and a bank overdraft £11m.

Since year-end #SAFC have committed a further £29m on new players including Steven Fletcher, Adam Johnson, Alfred N’Diaye and Danny Graham.
