Sonny Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 So we sell the ground for £30m, let Paxo spunk the cash on a load more over priced shïte, still not get promoted and be left paying rent to someone to be allowed to play in our own home. What then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling the ground would not help our FFP situation massively. If we sell the ground, we still need to rent it back. The rental costs then go against our FFP. Also it has to be valued at a realist price. We cannot just sell the ground for an amount as the FL wouldn’t accept this. The rent also has to be realistic and not just £1 per week for example. Its a great listen for anyone who’s interested Beat me to it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I have heard this from two different people on here prior to reading this post. Both posters have a long history on here are genuine Wednesday fans. I think it would be a terrible idea. Name one club that has benefited long term from selling their stadium?

What then? No..You sell the ground..Let Paxo have f.ook all to do with it..and let bruce spend the cash wisely..... Obviously of both our scenarios...I reckon yours is the most likely.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'm sure a buy back clause can be agreed, also rental payment would not be due until completion of all monies were paid. i.e, £10M per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft b*stds It was about 12 years ago they did it I think, had no affect on their promotion, it was more survival. The only way to ease our FFP is to sell a few players and reduce our wage bill, otherwise we are going to be in this exact same situation next year.

Unless you were asset stripping it seems that selling off the ground would hamstring any future takeover. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/leeds-united-elland-road-buy-back-13-years-after-first-selling-a7813411.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
