I wonder how lenient the FL will be with them. It will be interesting to see if the EFL ignore this blatant Disregard of FFP displayed by Villa https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51738406 Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Article in the Athletic this morning saying Morris borrowed £80m from an alleged crook to buy Pride Park. They really are a horrible club. They are going to be in such a mess next season. Regardless of mistakes made by Gibson we know he has the money to support us. Only FFP limits how much he can put in 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Wonder when we will hear anything about the Wednesday situation, if there indeed is one? And when will there be a ruling on Wigans appeal? It would be nice to get that done with, so we know what we can count on. Link to post Share on other sites

Only FFP limits how much he can put in Even if there's nothing inherently wrong with borrowing the money (as far as I know, borrowing/lending happens all the time in business? I don't run a business though so someone please correct me) and there's nothing illegal with this incident (besides the valuation issue) it still goes to show the kind of person Mel Morris is choosing as his bed fellows. The guy he loaned from is facing up to 15 years in prison for god sake. Also Derby fans are really trying to convince themselves this is a big ball of nothing (which it might be). Even as far as to say "It may also back up the fair value of the sale price? Why would someone lend Mel £81m if it's only worth £60m...?" Link to post Share on other sites

The same world in which Jadon Sancho is worth over £100,000,000 and the same world which pays Mesut Ozil £270,000 a week to not give a rat's ass about Arsenal. A very, very wrong world.

I meant £100,000,000 as a selling fee, but I forgot some of the zeroes. Mind you, I should be used to seeing lots of zeroes this season.

They sold their stadium for 56 million and 30 million was promotion related costs which apparently counts against the deficit however weird that sounds. Link to post Share on other sites

This wasn’t a pop at your idea of how to maintain a clubs stability whilst trying to push for promotion as I agree it’s the golden egg solution of how to do it. Just it’s a tightrope the chairman/financiers need to walk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Tifo football have a really good podcast (roughly 30 minutes long) about the Wigan situation. It's really well explained (better than my long post) and has some newer information about the situation than when I delved into it about a week ago. Have a listen if you can.

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Likely to be a lot of nonsense but there's a few rumours on twitter that Sheffield Wednesday may go into administration today. Theres certainly been issues recently such as failing to pay some of the team on time a couple of weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Conflicted on who I want to win tonight in the huddersfield vs luton match. If Luton lose then it's almost impossible for them to overtake us. But of huddersfield lose then theres more teams still in danger. Link to post Share on other sites
