OTHER Today, the shareholders' meeting of Anderlecht took place. They discuss, among other things, the annual accounts. Het Nieuwsblad knows that this will go red. There are various causes for this, also sporting.



Anderlecht do not prepare their annual accounts per calendar year, but per season. Marc Coucke has officially only been chairman since March, so he did not participate in two-thirds of the past financial year. Over the past two years, Anderlecht have made 350,000 and 312,500 euros of profit respectively, but that is not the case now.

Het Nieuwsblad sees the following causes:

Coucke fired twenty employees. This led to dismissal payments and he had to hire new people.
Coucke did all kinds of renovations at the stadium. In the long run this will generate more income, but now there are the costs.
Anderlecht gave 11 youth players a contract.
Anderlecht got a lot of new players this summer.
Anderlecht did not make a big outgoing transfer this summer.
Anderlecht did not play Champions League last season.
