If we can get a James O'connor type figure in the middle and a Darren Purse at the back we can really emulate the 2010 season all over again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think about the standard of player we will attract now, in this league. We will be a very small fish, less 12 points. We are dead men walking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a better chance of building a side for promotion in League 1 than building one to avoid relegation in the Championship. What if the teams dont all come back. Under normal circumstances you maybe right. But I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a league in this current climate where about 80% of it all voted not to play on the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimesthorpian Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Don’t forget that if we appeal and it’s rejected, then the punishment could be increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 It’s alright slagging off the rules, but everyone knew them before a ball was kicked. Once again our fantastic support has been shat on. DC can sell up tomorrow for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a better chance of building a side for promotion in League 1 than building one to avoid relegation in the Championship. I said something similar a couple of weeks ago but wasn't so sure with what I was saying at the time and am still not. We've seen in the past how difficult we can make getting out of that division at the first attempt and next season might not get finished in the lower leagues if clubs aren't able to raise income somehow. A minus 12 point start is demoralising but not impossible but would need to hit the ground running, the longer it takes to catch up the more despondent it will become.

We sold the stadium for £60 million In the financial year it was included we made a pre tax profit of £2.5 million Without it we would have posted a pre-tax lost of £35.4 million! What's happend to the other £22.1 million? Surely selling the stadium for £60m means a pre tax profit of £24.6 million! Not 100% sure but i suspect its because when the club owned the stadium it showed in the accounts as an asset valued in the region of £22m. When the stadium was sold the asset could no longer be included in the accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSandersonOWL Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Great result for us, escaped relegation! Next positive step is to get rid of Monk and get in a proper manager then we can look forward to next season! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Actually raises more questions. How is the stadium sale being treated from an accounting perspective now? What’s our current status in relation to FFP? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying crazy wages and worst of all, refusing to sell any player to mitigate ffp. Do one DC. Agree. He does need to go, but it would be like trying to sell a house with subsidence and dry rot. We’re in dire straits, which is quite apt because we really have spent a lot of money for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can maybe raise a separate case - I hope they win and the judgement is decided as 6 points off this season and 6 points off next! That's what I am saying. whatever there case is will be to have us deducted the 12 points this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the stadium sale itself wasn’t mentioned so must be ok, therefor it’ll be in the 18/19 accounts due any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s our current status in relation to FFP? Accounts not submitted for the last accounting period. I'm going to make a guess that they are looking really healthy, everything is fine and it's all nasty FFP and the EFLs horrible little fault that we were allowed to back date our stadium sale in the last accounts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
