To have a squad of 17 fulltime pro's, on a salary of £25,000 (€31,750)would workout at £425,000 (€539,750) per year + a fulltime manager and coach, about an extra £40,000 (€50,800) and £35,000 (€44,450) respectively would bring the total upto £500,000 (€634,500). You'd also need to get a part time physio, we'll say £15,000 (€19,050) + have your extra part-time coaches (how about 2 x £10,000 - €25,400). Utility expences would also rise from present levels, again, we'll estimate £5,000 (€6,350) + an extra £5,000 (€6,350) for stuff that Im forgeting. Thats £545,000, or €692150, which is £10,480 (€13310) per calander week.
The club would have no more than 20 compeditive home matches a year so it would need to get £27,250 (€34,608) for every match.
Assumuing that the attendance is made up of 50% adults, 25% OAP'S & u-14 & 25% children at €8, €5 & €3 respectively, and we get an average attendance of 4,000, we would have €24,000 (£18,900) in gate reciepts a week + programme sales + half-time draws, neither of which would amount to anything huge I'd say. All that added up (minus expences such as ESB) would be €25,000 in from each match. So €25,000 x 20 = €500,000 (£393,700).
£545,000 (€692,150) - £393,700 (€500,000) = £151,300 (€192,150) left to pay. Bohs reciently got a shirt sponcership worth €100,000 (£78,740), so assuming we get the same sort of deal, we have €92,150 (£72,560) left to pay off.
I couldnt say how much the club gets/could get from bill boards pitch side, remember, the profits from these would have to be shared with the MFA, also, the gate reciepts I gave earlier would have to be split with the MFA & the FAI.
So at the end of the day the club needs to rase £72,560 (€92,150) per year away from gate reciepts & shirt sponcership just to pay the first-teams' way. The Youth Accademy should be covered for the next 3 years from the Leicter City deal (stg£50,000 per year) but after that we'll be looking at more expences for that (I cant see Leicter renewing the deal). There are also other expences such as travel, promotion, the other squads, board dividands, accountants/solicitors fees, and credits, such as merchandise and the shirt deal with LCS (of which Ive got no financial clue/info) to take into account, so some one else will have to fill in the blanks there.
