Title: 2018 Financial Accounts
Post by: nat on April 05, 2019, 08:09:35 PM
...Make for poor reading. Essex always used to be a club that made a profit each year, even a small one.

I note that there are 'several more mouths to feed' on the payroll. 7 staff (3 in 2017) assigned to membership matters! 2 more on the playing staff. £500k senior management salaries/costs sounds high to me.

Hope someone interrogates the chairman/CEO at the AGM. Alarm bells should be ringing.

Perhaps this is why the club switched to support the '100'.

Well, is this before or after the ECB handout? Not totally surprising given the increase in the playing staff with the likes of Wheater and Chopra coming back.

If we got in to debt bringing those 2 back heads should roll.

With the staff numbers. If someone left in 2018 and was replaced, would that be counted as two?

Something that did not appear was the total number of members in each category over 2017 and 2018. In previous years the numbers were dropping by 10% each year.

Why do you need more membership staff if member numbers are falling?  Does not compute.

Big Ronnie’s business acumen ought to mean that we would make a lot more since the bad old days?

Agreed - especially as the member-only area of the website has not happened. What do these people actually do?

I think the increase might be that the numbers atr number of staff. So if a full time person was replaced with 2 part time that would show an additional person
