Reds revel in record turnover

HIGH-FLYING Aberdeen have announced a record turnover of £23.6million but recorded a loss of just under £900,000 because their big-money sale of Bojan Miovski falls into next year's account.

The Dons confirmed their record turnover was up 49 per cent from £15.8m last year, thanks to European group stage and extended runs in both domestic cup competitions.

The Pittodrie wage bill was also up £810,000 to £1.3m but the increased turnover saw the turnover-to-wages ratio drop from 76 per cent to 54.

The club sold Ylber Ramadani, Lewis Pirie and got additional payments from Lewis Ferguson but also paid fees for the likes of Dimitar Mitov, Gavin Molloy and Peter Ambrose, while there were the managerial departures of Barry Robson and interim Neil Warnock.
