My answer is not an opinion but fact. The accounts filed in 2026 are for the year to June 2025. June 2026 accounts will not be filed until next year. Yes, large sums have passed through the accounts, but what is your point? What does that prove? That we had tens of millions to spend on players but didn't? No.
In year to June 2025 the club made a loss of over £11mil. The balance sheet shows a deficit of nearly £186mil. As of June 2025 the accounts show that we were in trouble at that date, and supported by Fosun International Limited until at least June 2026.
