No - accruals in the PL accounts are predominantly what’s owed to clubs not operating expenses. No sign of material provisions either that I can see. Nor what was described in the explanation in the front end. Take a look - see if you can see what it could be
Could we not get an old shipping container outside the stadium and fit it with a TV and kettle.Makes financial sense to convert the press area into a Tunnel 2 club and shift the fuckers into SS1/SS3 with a voucher for food & drink and some tables on the concourse roped off for them so we could all wave.... A sort of 2025 feeding the Chimps type thing.
To be clear I am not an accountant so it is possible my post may not be enrrirely accurate. However, their trading affairs are a bit like Man U where profits cover everything. that is until they don't.You might be hearing a little bit more in the future about Utd and their fudged Covid figures.

Well don’t leave it at that! Tell us more! Spill the beans!You might be hearing a little bit more in the future about Utd and their fudged Covid figures.
Fat chance.You might be hearing a little bit more in the future about Utd and their fudged Covid figures.
Doesn’t look that likely or do you know somethingYou might be hearing a little bit more in the future about Utd and their fudged Covid figures.
Cheaper in house plus could sell all games on subscription model to all territories to broadcasted and on own internet channelFor starters a big team will TUPE over so they will have most of the people on Day 1. The key question is why it is worth it. IMG currently do the nuts and bolts of producing matches. Filming, studio stuff, etc. They are market leaders. The question is even if the PL can do it slightly cheaper in house, so what? What value is there in owning that part of the value chain. It’s not as if they need it to make the programming even if they created Premflix. And it’s not as if they can take their programming expertise and sell to other leagues. So why bother?
Presumably, there is a model in one of the US leagues they want to follow.
It won't be cheaper they'll charge same if not more like clubs getting vast tv revenues they still put ticket prices up and blame psrCheaper in house plus could sell all games on subscription model to all territories to broadcasted and on own internet channel

It's interesting this. I don't think the English game is in a very strong position to sell itself.
To many games are defence against attack, it's boring.
I suspect they mean cheaper for the PL, not the fans.It won't be cheaper they'll charge same if not more like clubs getting vast tv revenues they still put ticket prices up and blame psr
The PL themselves are adamantI have to ask how definitive is your definitive answer that it isn't legal fees?
As you say, the directors report mentions three causes for the expense increase: new personnel, wider football support and legal fees. The first two come nowhere near explaining a 23% increase. It's hard to see past legal fees really ....
Maybe they are making fraudulent statements in the accounts? :)
I mean cheaper for the premier league to do it than out source itIt won't be cheaper they'll charge same if not more like clubs getting vast tv revenues they still put ticket prices up and blame psr
I think our games have been more open this year more due to us than anything else but it’s been us that have witnessed defense against attack more than any other also with different teams doing well or badly it’s hard to know who should be defending or attacking so I don’t agree with that pointIt's interesting this. I don't think the English game is in a very strong position to sell itself.

This season has been terrible no title race and no relegation battle.
Financial restrictions limit pl teams to compete to sign Europe's top players.
The best team for a decade is hounded by the American cartel who don't want investors buying other clubs, like Newcastle. Promoted clubs are restrictioned of improvement to their squad.
Pl needs to make itself attractive again, games are played in more or less silent, some statiums are in poor condition, some pitches aren't great. Ticket prices are ridiculous across the pl and to many club are like Disney land on match day
Reminds me of that Simpsons sketch in the episode where the comet is about to obliterate the town. The people who spend all their time in the pub, rush to spend their last moments in the church, and vice versa!I think the result might come in today, probably after church and before the visit to the pub attached to that church.
