Player trading

  • Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£2.2m

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

Wage breakdown

  • Pension contributions£142k

HMRC exposure

  • Tax & social security owed at year-end£1.9m

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.
