The latest accounts are available to view on COWS. The loss for the year was £1.7m, met by shareholding funding and interest-free unsecured loans, with no external debt.

Anybody not concerned with these level of losses is crazy. Owner loans cover the loss fine but if the business is operating at these level of losses then somebody needs to be prepared to pick the club up and fund them. This year will be a lot more as well I’m sure.

Remember though that the £1.7m would have included paying off a few managers and assistants. I would expect a loss again for the 25/26 year and hopefully getting closer to being sustainable by 27/28.

Maybe worth showing this to the Lennon out bregade.

This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

The abovementioned payoffs, plus possibly including money going out on Rosyth?,transfer fees for C. Young & K. Bray, higher wages for the likes of NL, Wanyama, and mainly a spectacularly dreich season?

All owner decisions.

Of course they are owner decisions. That`s how private companies work.

Isn`t everything an owner decision at the end of the day?

Those figures are genuinely diabolical.

So you are blaming the new owners for the full loss when they were only in charge for 5 months of the accounts?

Rosyth and the complete disaster it has become was the brain work of the previous consortium.

Nobody seems to be bothered about the financial results when they`re calling for better/more experienced signings during the transfer windows. We`re not going to get promotion without losing money, unless we unearth a real gem.

Losing £1.7m in a year is the exact reason we should be striving to get promoted, because that sort of money is available in the top league but not this league.

Obvuously to May 2025. Hopefully with the improvements in performances and if we can get into the playoffs and cup semi finals it will eat into that loss. It demonstrates the importance of financial sustainability and building the club in stages in a sensible manner

2022 losses - £532K
Headcount - 72

2023 losses - £1,039K
Headcount - 84

2024 losses - £929K
Headcount - 97

2025 losses - £1,736K
Headcount - 114


Variables/One offs -

We did have to pay off two managers, although James McPake maybe didn`t have too long to go on his contract?
The Euro fan zone recouped around £150K on tickets alone. Not sure what the club made from food and drink
We had record breaking sales of the Black and Gold strips




It`s bloody tough being a legend
