Blackburn Rovers finances

• Gross spend on signings (this year)£5.1m
• Amortisation charge (this year)£2.4m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£4.7m
• Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£1.1m

In football accounting, "intangible assets" = player registrations. Amortisation is the contract cost spread over the years remaining.

• Wages & salaries£25m
• Social security (employer NI)£3.4m
• Pension contributions£223k
• Key management pay (directors)£682k
• Highest paid director£640k

• Tax & social security owed at year-end£1.8m

Unusually large HMRC balances at year-end can signal cash pressure. Most clubs file PAYE monthly, so a multi-million sum sitting unpaid is a flag.

• Group / owner loans£139m
