Dons are at a real loss

ABERDEEN’S annual accounts show the club’s operating loss has almost tripled in the wake of the pandemic.

The financial update for the year ending June 30 shows a loss of £2.92m, up from £1.03m.

Wages-to-turnover ratio has also increased by 10 per cent. Dons chairman Dave Cormack said: “Despite a further £1.1m cash injection from our investors last month and a record player sale, our financial gap, due to the ongoing pandemic crisis, is widening.

“We are sustaining losses for every home game we play without supporters.”
