Bluesteel Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I’m surprised this article hasn’t appeared on here yet (apologies if it has). If there is truth to it, particularly the 10m a season claim then I hope we didn’t take them up on such a kind offer... https://www.footballparadise.com/dan-petrescu/ Edited January 19, 2018 by Bluesteel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 From Doyen Sports Wikipedia page, Doyen Sports lends money to professional clubs. The club then has three years to repay its debt. The clubs may either retain the players and repay their debt from Doyen Sport within this timeframe, or resell the players to repay the same debt. The first operations of this type were carried out in Brazil and then concentrated on the area of the main European players' championships. Does make you wonders how much DC has actually splashed. Doyen possibly invested in players with a dividend if we were promoted. Also this would be a really good explanation of why we havent yet sold any players. Needs a good investigative journo to piece it together. [18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 10m a season secured against broadcating rights income sounds a hell of a lot to pay for ‘advice’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 All very dark. MB on Twitter frequently delves into the Doyen link.... Unfortunately the article probably has more truths than non truths. The Paxao guy that gets a good mention is still seen with Chansiri. Hopefully all will be clearer when he packs his bags same as Palmer. Three years must be getting closer if thats what DC has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 "Curea unofficially collaborated with Doyen Sports as he signalled them various business opportunities from football transfers to – for an instance – a 1.5 million barrels of Russian jet fuel offered for sale by a Philippine company." This made me think of Derek Trotter for some reason... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) As a Doyen hater , this aint as bad as I thought. £10 mill for us in EPL ain't that bad. And Carlos was really cheap at £500 k per annum (Dave Jones was £750k in 3rd Division). Problem is , the legacy with crap players on massive wages that we can't move on. But looks like DC's got it now by Palmer's termination today. Edited January 20, 2018 by fred mciver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do owe funds of any kind then presumably this will facilitate a clear out in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Rat Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It’s easily possible to see the hand of Milan behind the introduction of Doyen as part of the structure brought in to support Mr C following his takeover. Didn’t Milan also say around the time of the playoff final he was on a bonus if we got promoted ? I’m sure I read something about the last instalment of the purchase price being due around the end of last year, and this has now coincided with the departure of Carlos and Palmer plus the arrival of Meire. You’d hope that with a totally free hand the Chairman is moving to clear out all traces of Doyen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfsmith Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Thanks for posting this. Hadn't seen it and found it VERY interesting. Just indicates how little we know of what goes on in our club. We speculate and hang on every rumour but really we know very little of what goes on behind closed doors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolihullOwl79 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It does clearly say in the article: https://www.footballparadise.com/dan-petrescu/ that DC rejected the long term deal and opted to go down deal by deal basis. Looks like murky waters though. Little bit worrying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
