Im fairly confident it will be " sold" to a relative of DC ,and after a bit of "money movement " it will end up exactly where it is now , owned by DC , but with documents showing a sale and £30m or so " income" into the club , thus allowing DC spend his own money on Bruce`s contract ,and on new players . of course it will, and paperwork to show differently when the league sticks it's limited nose in.

e6owl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. One other stipulation of FFP is that transactions need to be 'arms length' - so simply selling it off to his Dad might not be accepted by the EFL when they go through the books. It's also a massive gamble, would sooner sell all our players than put ourselves at this kind of risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has haemraged money under DCs control that is why we are under FFP restrictions. It is likely we will have further debts in the next set of accounts. Where do you think we could jump ship to because we havent got the finances to build a new stadium. I would rather steady the ship and keep our main asset than have one last throw of the dice at promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like it was watertight that we wouldn’t run into FFP problems? It’s a sign of desperation. Selling the family silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn’t seem right to me Doubt there are many potential buyers to buy a football stadium, where the buyer can't demolish and build and possibly other stipulations. Unless you have 'rich friends' who would buy a football ground on that understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible in your eyes not mine. No other chairman has ever felt the need to sell the ground and no other chairman has got us into such a large amount of debt. I think the jury is very much out on DCs financial running of this club. I do not doubt his passion or his commitment just his lack of understanding of the financial side of running a football club. These kind of debts are not sustainable. Where do we go next if after selling the ground we still dont achieve promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
