THE EFL HEARING THREAD

Not at all but Monk's philosophy with Brice's players isn't a fair complarison. You're saying that he has been her longer and should be judge on that but I think that's a little unfair.


I’m saying he’s been here for a limited time with no preseason. 
 

We may be at cross purposes but if we don’t credit Monk with the run from August to Xmas it’s like saying Bruce can’t take credit for the improved form when he was here for the few months he was with us. 
 

It cuts both ways.

He did, nowt else around how or why or when , Just told may be gone sooner rather than later 


Hopefully that Ineos rumour from back in March was true then.. or maybe Mammadov has finally got his money out of that Azerbaijan bank account.

Thing is, unless DC changes his ways and gets some help, even if we ‘escape’ this year, we will be in the same place again soon enough. 

 

Probably sooner than we think, when last year's accounts come out at the end of this month. :duntmatter:

One scenario nobody’s mentioned....We are going to automatically relegated this season ...making it 4 down and 4 up from league .... avoid all arguments then from other championship clubs !!!!

 

Relegation is a sanction they are allowed to use

You‘re confusing the price £60m with the profit £38m. The 2 year accounting loss including the ground sale is £19m (-21m + £2m). So for 18/19 the Max loss allowed is circa £20m + whatever the amounts that can be discarded for the FFP calculation. Given the time taken to sign and file 17/18 then presumably the £60m was calibrated to ensure it would be sufficient to clear FFP in the following year also.

Although, weren’t the latest accounts extended by 3 months so the loss was over a 15 month period rather than 12. Obviously the loss on the latest accounts will be huge regardless

All of my post is guess work - and would no doubt fall apart under an accountants assessment.

 

But people are so worried about the future of our club and I know my own thoughts are running wild right now.

That's natural Nigel mate , we all share those thoughts, it's the unknown that causes sleep less nights. We will get through it, don't lose hope we can't do afford to .

I was told by a fairly reliable person that he has threatened admin if the EFL pursue a points deduction.

 

Regardless of that as I don't pay too much notice to rumours - administration would write off his right to repayment of the many many millions hes invested. That would be a very bitter pill to swallow for him and what makes admin unlikely.

HOWEVER

 

Right now hes throwing £3-£4million a month down the plughole of our wages bill. Yes - he saddled us with a bill of that size. But by the time fans are allowed back in the ground he could well have chucked 8 months of that at us - and thats not sustainable for anybody. he does have an ace up his sleeve - in that hes separated the stadium from the club - and could presumably sell the stadium to any new buyer using the company thats bought it - thereby seeing a return

 

But this is where it gets murky. The stadium sale saw a staged payment over (I think it was 8 - maybe 10) years - and you'd imagine that would mean an administrator would insist that the stadium ownership may have to be returned to them - as he would be a debtor.  UNLESS the money hes been throwing at the club since lockdown has been classified as payments against the stadium.



Its all very murky - and its a bloody mess. And to be fair to him - not ALL of his own making. Covid-19 hasnt helped in the slightest.

But administration would potentially be awful for all fans who have supported the level of spending over the last few years. Club 1867. 10 years season tickets, 5 year season tickets, 3 years season tickets - and everybody who has already renewed. It is feasible that the monies they have paid could be lost in admin and the tickets not honoured. Thats my biggest worry.

Multi millionaires flooding into British football looking to make a quick buck by getting their teams in the Premier League get no sympathy from me.

Thousands of loyal Wednesday fans who have bought into the dream - they do. Many of them spend a huge proportion of their income on following Wednesday.


I heard the admin one last week, tried not to listen to be honest

 

Suspect there’s legs in it though

It was 2 months I think but your point stands that there will be an adjustment for the different period length.

 Alarm bells began to ring when the 10 year ticket offer came out. Agree with the above. Just call it a gut feeling. Don't forget there's that double yer money deal on the club shop in october. At the minute I'm due a refund on this year, due £200 on the shop deal in october and £700 on next year's season ticket. Interesting few weeks coming up.

If we get a points deduction that sees us relegated I fully expect him to put the club into administration
 

Non paying of wages isn’t an administrative error, it’s someone having second thoughts about wether he wants to pay them , maybe he thought the deduction was due before the wages were

 

Roller coaster ride ahead

Not a chance he will put us in admin. I know DC has dropped some clangers but that would make no business sense at all,  I can imagine he would want to portray it that way and try and force EFL's hand

Business sense ?  Let’s lose this idea that he’s here until he gets his £100m + back 

 

Its absolute pie in the sky stuff that,  he can cut his losses go back to Thailand and live rest of his life in comfort , might be a few mill less for the kids to inherit but they won’t be short
