Surely we should be willing to counter such threats with our own if we have a good case. Birmingham have already been dealt with by censure and warning as to future conduct. They are done with. Derby seem safe despite their drunken staff endangering life on the roads and Rooney gate 15 bob as a player and £60k a week as a coach. So who should we try it on with as a scapegoat; Oh I get the drift ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri can sell the club and keep the ground - or sell the ground to someone else. Basically we (the club) lose control over what happens to our home. There is no WE - the club belongs to DC. That was what MM brought to the table the dissolution of the shareholders. A loan can be repaid you say - by whom? DC will not sell the ground to anyone else and would sell both the ground and the club as a package if he chooses to 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times change. We have been going one way for that 25 years and they have gone in the other. Totally agree - however if P&S had been around when the Abramovich took over they would be no better off than we are as they wouldn't have been allowed to buy the title - same as Man City 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree however if Wolves come back down they are going to get shafted same as Villa, Bournemouth etc. QPR got away with a points deduction and a big fine. The others won't 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they got taken over they were a side who were in the bottom half of the Championship not really doing anything. A bit like when we were taken over by Chansiri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The merits of selling the ground and then leasing back is wrong on many levels, however whether what occurred is not illegal although greatly distasteful. The EFL's FFP is not fit for purpose.

kobayashi Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 3 hours ago, Harrysgame said: So who else would you want other than DC? And who is going to come in and pay 100m for a club in the Championship or Lge 1. DC would want his money back for starters. Without DC being able to bankroll us i would think we would be knackered. We all want what's best for the club but can't see any quick answers. Im sure he would like „his money“ back but due mostly to his own failings it’s no longer his money since it has been spent/wasted not invested. It is akin to buying a car, running it for a few years and then expecting to sell it for the original price paid + the cost of petrol put into it...nice idea but not very realistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Was reading an article earlier saying there isn’t a worse time to be relegated from the Championship with what is going on in the world and tv money difference between the Championship and league one.
