Players Owed £12m & Possible Points Deduction


Recommended Posts

Still think he's forcing the players to do a deal by 30 June - it's public brinkmanship, and DC is happy for this to get in the news as it puts pressure on the players not to take 'action' that would harm the club via sanctions. His total disregard for the club is frightening at a time when he should be laying down an optimistic strategy for promotion and long-term growth.

Isn't it 4months in total  they've not been paid in full? If £12m owed that would make our wage bill in excess of £36m?

 

Doesn't seem right, particularly as part wage payments of £7k have been reportedly made 


God knows what astronomical bonuses we agreed for the likes of Rhodes, Reach, Lees etc to run the course of their contracts though. Probably a few million in bonuses

We're gonna get relegated again aren't we.

No it’s worse than that

If those figures are correct it’s game over. We are essentially insolvent 

Potentially you will not only see Wednesday in league 2 you won’t see them as we know now in any league

Chansiri alluded to us being screwed a couple of years ago didn't he if we didn't get promotion...at least he got that right. Just no idea it would be as bad as its got! 

 

How the hell can he get away unscathed after all this mess, whilst the fans and club take all the punishment....sick of it!

True, but £36m would average at almost £28kpw per player for a 25 man squad. Surely bonuses aren't that much?

We are dead as a club literally gets worse by the day. Close to going out of business. And yet we still hear zero from the club. Absolutely pathetic, so angry and sad at the same time.

 

My expectations are currently that low that even if we start the season id just be happy with staying up. As we will have points deductions ect. ******** sickening.

I don't know much about this area, but are football fans who are owed money from unused season tickets considered creditors?  As such, could they issue a winding up order?  Would that force something done?    Could fans join together to do this as a joint claim?

I seem to remember the wage bill in the last accounts was 28m

 

That then equates to 2.3m a month. Multiple that by 4 and you get to 9.3m

 

Only leaves 2.6m in bonuses to be paid across all of the players who were released. Maybe not too unrealistic
