EFL have fresh concerns over Hillsborough sale

[Guest The Horse]

They really won't leave us alone until we're in a new stadium far away from Hillsborough and playing in the conference or whatever it's called these days. 

Well, fizz 'em.

I hope Chansiri farts in their general direction at the meeting whilst wearing a Forestieri mask.

Pretty sure the clubs legal advisors will have got this covered 

 

You would hope. EFL are looking for blood for clubs using loopholes. The valuation of any stadium is up to the buyer. This will not be sorted for some time. Expect this to drag to death.

Monk would feel fated... agreeing to manage two clubs that ended up with points deductions.

Lets hope we get away with it !!

DC says F**k the EFL

[SiJ]

You know, they might as well just get on with it and try to hit us with a points deduction. 

[N0rtherner]

Nah, we all know where the EFL is going with this... another 5 match ban for Forestieri.

[Guest wilyfox]

It looked dodgy at the time. It still looks dodgy. I'm sure we will face reprimand of some kind.

The EFL's kangaroo court already think they know better than Her Majesty's justice system so overruling professional auditors should be no problem.

Wonder what the points deduction would have been, had we not sold the ground.

6-9-12?

My guess is they are looking for a loophole in the loophole.

Cos they have been made to look stupid..they will be after revenge

[Pale Rider]

Perhaps they also have concerns about the integrity of their cup competition.

The value of something is solely dependent on the price someone is prepared to pay, its basic economics.

If Chansiri's new company think our ground is worth 60m+ then that's what it's worth.

Wonder if he haggled with himself over the price.

Unfortunately accounting rules say it has to be at open market value, and the EFL rules permit them to adjust any transactions that aren't eg sponsorship

Let's hope they never cotton on to D Taxi's

All depends how the club got the value of the ground established. Independently or not?

..and backdated it to 2018 accounts?

How on earth has this never been questioned by anyone? 

[bigdan2003]

Basically what the accountants etc on here have been questioning for the last few months. 

 

But christ, the EFL don’t half mess around. Presumably they were happy enough with our accounts 2 months ago, given they got sign off and we were taking out of the embargo. Why not check this stuff at that point? 

 

I can see them making an example of us.

There's nothing to "get away with" the EFL have cocked up their own rules and allowed the loophole that clubs have exploited, they can't punish on a ruling that doesn't exist.

[SiJ]

Absolute can of worms.

 

They approved the accounts but now have questions about them.

 

Complete shambles.
