    You'll have a long wait for that. The club has chosen for over 10 years not to put this information into the public domain. That contrasts with 22 of the 24 Div 1 clubs who do provide the information. I don't know precisely how many Div 2 clubs provide it but it's a majority of them. The irony is that the club provides the information you want to the EFL but can't be bothered to provide that information to its fans. You'd think they had something to hide! ;)

    This has been explained on many occasions and the answer today is the same as it has been for the past two years. I'll repeat it again for the final time. There is no evidence at Companies House in the UK or the equivalent in Germany that the owner has put any more of his money whether a loan or whether additional equity into the club. This is despite what many choose to believe.

    Thank you, that is what I thought. It is has been awhile so ever the optimist I thought there might have been investment since you last commented. I just thought I would risk being told off by you;)

    You’ve missed the last bit off. Swansea received £10m up front with another £7m due this summer so that’s another £1m in the summer in addition to the £400,000 for Sheffield United staying up ! 4EF2CB30-3A36-47A1-8097-B1A6483892FB.jpeg

    I was told two weeks ago, by someone who would probably know, that Rupp is still underwriting the club. Whether that’s putting hard cash in to pay the bills, the odd short term loan to ease cash flow problems or simply promising to Yorkshire Bank he’ll cough up any short fall I don’t know. But what would help is if the club published the full audited and not the abridged accounts. 2018/19s are due soon so we’ll see if they’re going to be more open.

    Didn't he come out and say he the only reason they were printed like that was due to the fact they've been done like that for years? Aka suggesting we could see more open accounts in the foreseeable future...

    I hope so it would stop all this speculation that goes on.. football fans need to know hard facts rather than rumours and counter rumours.

    I would be pleasantly surprised if this happened after 14 years of publishing the absolute minimum. Who in particular said this and in what context?

    Thanks for that and that's good to hear.

    I genuinely hope the Director of Communications is true to his word. We should know shortly whether this is true or not since the absolute final deadline for the publishing of the club's accounts is in about 6 weeks.

    I might comment that the club has had about 6 months in which to publish the accounts (even after allowing for about 3 months to prepare the accounts) and that if the club really did want to be more open about its financial affairs with its fans, for example, it really could have done so many months ago.

    It was a question, Dennis. Thankfully another poster has found the source because I wasn't going to go find it. Simply not enough hours in the day.

    Perhaps the question needs to be put to Alan Biggin?

    Why? We now know that the statement was made by Ryan Sparks. Whether what he said was true or not or whether fans have been misled will be known in a matter of a few weeks now.
