Popular Post StudentOwl Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2020 Interesting that former owners still own 50% shares in the stadium. Still, that's the risk you take when a club doen't own their ground outright. ... ... ...... 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy365owl Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 If we were to offer Hillsborough as a ground share I'm assuming that what ever rent we charge them would count as money in towards FFP or whatever its called these days , if so might be worth looking into especially with the lack of crowds at moment 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardiffowl06 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'd happily rent Hillsborough out to them. We'd have to be careful on the share deal though. If its with the stadium's company then we won't get any FFP benefit. If they pay SWFC rent that might work. Can also see them trying to ground share with Rotherham.

Popular Post SiJ Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2020 But, but I thought their owners were absolutely minted and were very intent on upholding the moral and financial integrity of English football? Remember that long winded letter they wrote about how everyone else was corrupt and Barnsley were doing things the right way? So why are they getting sued by the previous owners for an alleged 2.75 million for money still owed? Oh, and they are looking to leave Oakwell, their inbred home for 150 years or something. Bless em. In someways it is quite befitting for a club who only managed to stop up because Wigan got slapped with a points deduction. I'd quite enjoy the idea of letting them play at Hillsborough, you after all the sh*t they've given us and others in recent times. Oh, how sweet to open up our doors to them. Come on in, our six fingered friends. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I thought they were dead against club owners trying to buy their own stadium? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommowl Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 As I've said before their owners really don't have much money, no searches tell me that Chien Lee is a billionaire. They did a right old trick on the French club they owned, they'll do the same with the dingles given the chance. They failed to take over Falkirk I think it was because they couldn't prove they had the finances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes their moralistic stand on us look quite ridiculous now. People in glass houses and that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
