Summary

In this special episode, we take a deep dive into Fulham's finances. The club accounts were released last week for FFC's stint in the Premier League, so we thought we would get behind the numbers. In this episode Sammy James speaks to Farrell Monk and Football Finance Lecturer Kieran Maguire in order to understand the balance sheets. We talk about the ambitions of Shahid Khan, how player amortisation works and whether the club were justified with their ticket price strategy last season.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, it is showtime. Please welcome the team of the Fulhamish podcast.
0:12.7	Hello and welcome to the Fulhamish podcast, your independent voice of Fulham FC. My name is Sammy James,
0:19.5	and I hope you are well wherever you are around the world during
0:22.2	this crazy time so this is kind of our return we've naturally taken a small break from football
0:28.2	uh since it was seemingly put on an indefinite pause on the 13th of march and we've been
0:33.8	working out what to do since then and our conclusion was to go back to releasing episodes once a week on a Wednesday
0:41.0	because we were getting a lot of messages from you guys out there.
0:44.7	And obviously, a lot of you're in isolation, a lot of you're working from home,
0:48.4	and you just need a little bit of a full and fix.
0:50.9	And we totally get it.
0:52.2	But rather than talk about when football is coming back
0:55.2	which all seems a bit futile at the current time we thought we'd tackle some subjects both
1:00.5	serious and lighthearted that are of interest to us that we don't often get to discuss
1:06.2	due to the relentless nature of the football calendar. So today's episode is all about
1:11.8	Fulham's finances. While we know that there are extortionate amounts of money in football,
1:16.4	how many of us really understand the balance sheets when they get released once a year? I know
1:20.9	personally, I can get my head around the profit and loss, but as soon as terms like amortization
1:26.4	or parent companies start getting
1:28.2	banned about, I tend to get a little bit overwhelmed. So what we're going to do today is get
1:32.9	to the bottom of Fulham's financial situation. Some of the accounts from our Premier League season
1:38.8	have been released in the past few weeks, so it seemed like a perfect time. And we want to
1:43.0	make it a little bit simpler for the layman
