Whether this is plausible who knows. Would be interesting to know exactly what Derby have done and how they have explained it to the EFL.

Ronio Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Contracts running out in the summer would free up plenty of money. High earners like Abdi and Boyd and a few others off the books will make a huge difference. As others have also said in this thread. I would expect to see us cash in on a few players as well. Probably offloading some strikers will be a priority in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppOwl Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The ground will be shown as an asset in the accounts, selling takes away the asset and the money recouped can only be market value not some inflated sum, its a non starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I’m not as convinced as some that we’ll have the clear out in the summer that a lot are expecting. Bruce has had a good look at the squad now and I think Westwood, Palmer and Boyd are certs to be offered new deals. Whether they accept them is obviously another matter? I still think we might well take a gamble and try to keep Hooper and Lee? As for player sales, Reach might attract offers? Bannan and Fletcher probably will. I think we’ll struggle to offload Either Forrestieri and Rhodes who I think Bruce will want to work with anyway? Winnall can go for me. This is a move that’s just not worked out and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joao go. We’ve got to look to offload Van Aken and Pelupessy but that will be easier said than done. In summary I could see us starting next season with very few changes TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the out of contract players may leave but I cant see too many teams lining up to take the likes of Winnall . Jao , Van Aken Rhodes or many more. If we are going to sell likely to be Reach or Bannan or bargain bids for FF who looks past his best and in reality has done little for 2 seasons.

Bruce brought a loan player in to replace him in the first 11 this season and it’s obvious he ain’t the player he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Think most clubs have released annual accounts now. Once again we're set to be the last one. Which obviously attracts a good conspiracy theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greek government might not be too happy about that though it would be worth a few bob in real estate and tourism (there's a few old buildings out in Rhodes that DC's construction company could renovate if they can get planning permission and some of that tarpaulin they throw over the stands at Hillsborough). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the ongoing financial crisis in that country the Greek government may allow us to sell a small part of Rhodes, Lindos perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saywended Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Can't see any of the following being offered new deals when there contract expires in June, Hooper , Abdi , Boyd , Matias , Pudil ,Jones ,Lee , No idea what there combined wages are , but i would guess at least £5 million a year between them , offer Westwood & Palmer new deals. I can see us also listening to offers for Forestieri , Reach , Winnall , Pelupessy. Moving forward hopefully Bruce will be able to get some good young players in the door on a more sustainable wages. If we can use some of the money saved to bring in the likes of Hector & Aarons , Then going forward we will still have a very strong spine to the squad while hopefully keeping in line with EFL profitability & sustainability rules.

fred mciver Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 As stated, only a public offering of new voting shares - with big incentives - will release maga dosh for Brucey. And next season's teams will be much worst than this year so Brucey only needs a bit to gerras up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 10% discount on my season tickets then I got my money back after a few years. And it provided capital to get us outta that mess and was a springboard for our accent. Brucey needs a similar scheme now as next season - Championship even weaker - he could get us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
