To anyone reviewing the accounts, I wouldn’t get too excited about the detail such as this

There’s a lot of accounting stuff going through the income statement that is just noise and not really relevant to the overall health of the club.

The cash flow statement is the one to look at. That gives a much better idea of where we are.

Cash is king.

        It takes the expense out of the income statement (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 24, 12:19:07
