People bang on about Chansiri being a successful businessman and I can find nothing that backs this up. Now Milan, he was a successful businessman, he left a blank canvas for Chansiri to draw on and he has made no more than an amateurish scribble with some very expensive pens. The difference between success and failure is knowing what your doing. Sadly Chansiri doesn't and now desperation has set in hence his stupid actions, we are royally fizzed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no lower burden of proof here. The EFL rules categorically state the audited accounts are the starting point. If these are deemed to show a true and fair view then the EFL can not argue on the timing point. This seems to be the purpose of the disciplinary meeting not the valuation. And in terms of the valuation this again is an accounting concept. It is an in use valuation, depreciated replacement cost. Whether it is in a nice area, industrial or housing alternative valuation is totally irrelevant, a Maguire red herring. It is simply How much would it cost today to re-build to the same specification Reduced by the remaining useful life So if it would cost 120m to rebuild, has a useful life of 50 years and we are 25 years into it / remaining that is where the 60m comes from That makes sense to me at least. When we bought our house 30 odd years ago for 38k we had to take out buildings insurance for around 80k when we questioned It we were told it would be to cover the cost of demolition clearing the site and rebuilding the house. Might be clutching at straws but I can sort of see the parallels of when Leicester started all this by going bust and they got a slap on the wrist pretty much.

Guest mkowl Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I am a member of the accountants union, bit like the goalkeepers union but we wear grey. So this acceptance of any points deduction seems a tad premature for me. I will be marching on EFL HQ with me abacus and copies of FRS 102 in support of the Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I am arguing is this seems to be a case arguing about the application of accounting standards and adequacy of the supporting evidence. An interminable dull subject at the best of times. Are the EFL accountants better placed than those working for the club and the auditors to make that judgement ? Given the potential ramifications for the latter on a professional level then it will be defended for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like you, can you post every hour on the hour just to calm me down please I’ve worked myself up to the point where I’m fully expecting 79 point deduction, transfer ban for 30 years, we are forced to play Rhodes in every game, half time music will be the cheeky girls greatest hits for the next 18 years and we will NEVER be allowed to leave via penistone road 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the potential ramifications for the latter on a professional level then it will be defended for sure You give me hope in this thread. I've got that nasty feeling that we are the example club. Same as Leeds were a few seasons ago when they were punished, relegated and points off the following season. Same as rangers were when they were dropped 3 divisions or whatever it was. Trouble is, back of my mind, I'm thinking the EFL won't care that our accountants can prove we exploited a loophole. Well, they will and they'll punish us anyway. On another note, how in gods name have we racked up losses that are so huge? We pay a huge amount for tickets, which give DC some wiggle room to put more in he says. Then we find out we lose nearly the full 3 season amount in 1 season? Our players must be on an absolute fortune. However, since we have to enter the North via penistone Road, me and the lad walk through the carpark. We always look at the cars cos we both love nice cars. There's no absolutely stunning ones except for an R8, which is hardly a hyper car. I'm not saying that this is the sole barometer for whether someone is overpaid or not but we don't seem to have players on eye watering wages. Is it cos we've got a large squad? I just don't see how we've lost so much in 1 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
