Has Cheltenhams profit included their Spurs game? If so then it shows just how well we've done to turn ours around....

I started this thread with the comment that "this is very good news", but I needed some explanation of the Herald Express article. Exilegull kindly explained that it was confirmation of £100,000 payment to Colin Lee. I hadn't intended to distract from the brilliant job that club has achieved,but this is the first time I have read that the club definately paid out £100,000 to Lee.

We are talking about losses of £600-£700 thousand pounds being transformed into a profit of over £100,000 and all people seem to want to do is focus on one very small aspect of this money and blaming everything on CL. Well what about the amazing job Dean Edwards has done in the commercial dept. We are in profit with a new fleet of sign written vehicles and a grandstand being built, the directors have done brilliantly and everyone at the club is pulling together, yet this doesn`t get a mention! WHY?

Cheltenham have just announced a small profit..

However the most interesting part is..

"It is particularly important to use our money wisely given that central distributions from the Football League will fall by over £100,000 next season."

I wasn't aware of this - can anyone shed any light?

I think he is a very nice man who has Torquay tattooed on his heart and would do anything he could for his beloved Torquay and would never take them to the cleaners :Z

Thanks "Exilegull" for explaining. This is the first time I have read confirmation that United payed £100,000 to part company with Colin Lee, although it did take me a while to understand that it was confirmation!

Not going to pretend for one miute I understand all this, if I have read it right , in 2009 under directors renumeration the club paid £100,975, in 2010 paid £96,544 plus compensation for loss of directorship £101,547.

Not sure whether I can post a link, off to work now will check with Dave S/G tomorrow, which would suggest that Colin Lee was paid in full if I understood it correctly.

It's very important to what he's saying. In the previous two years we'd made losses of £700k and £600k. This year we totally turned that around to make a profit of £150k. That's the first sentence of the piece you're talking about, and then he explains how we managed to turn our finances around.

Colin Lee's £100k is a big amount of money for a club at our level, so it helps to explain why we'd make a big loss the year before, but a profit this year (along with the other factors).

What I don't understand is if the club had already paid off Colin Lee then why did DT find it important to bring into the equation of stating the current finances. Its unneccessary. Its like saying the club saved money for not paying out extra wages for non existent players.
