Plus options they have in the Ramsdale deal 7 hours ago, ChapSmurf said: They are in a mess off the field. Hedged their parachute payments against a high-interest loan whilst still in the PL, and are facing a very big financial dilema. The moneyless Prince is also still in battle with McCabe, who owns land around the Stain. For spiteful reasons McCabe has applied for, and been granted, planning permission which could see access to their kop blocked, and mean a reduction in that stand of 4,000 due to safety concerns. In the grand scheme of things, the reduction will probably not make much difference, as the fans will simply sit elsewhere. Like many clubs, they need investment, but if the interested American party get wind of the problems with McCabe, it could easily put them off. The thing is it’s guaranteed income, so as long as they allocate the parachute payments towards it then it’s not a problem The issue then comes if they haven’t a) right sized the budget or b) got promoted after the 3rd year as it seems pretty clear the Prince is not going to fund the club or c) start gambling and spend more than they borrow / earn in transfer income Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Bloke been arrested. So he watched his team get a 2 goal lead, squander it then win on penalties to get to Wembley for the first time in years. Instead of getting to celebrate that he'll have spent the night worrying about a knock on the door that eventually came and he'll not get to see the final, or any other forest game live. What an absolute weapon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in their wages they will have to subsidize and having to rely on Arsenal to achieve something and it's not a rosy picture. Yes they will generate some cash but a small percentage of what they planned I think the parachute payments have already been borrowed against, so that has gone So for a total meltdown, or mid table mediocrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I know we always say it (and the opposite hen we’re involved) but unless a lot changes over the summer it looks a weak championship next season. Pigs will be there or there abouts again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get what they still owe for the binman Then they have to replace them, so yes some cash but not the £50/60m they have planned for.... which is important as this was their long term plan. Now they will have to switch back to free transfer and low £ purchases which they can sell for a profit.....enter Hecky to do that. Different ball park going forward 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berge, Brewster and McBurnie would go for a fraction of what they cost although I personally don't rate any of them. It's crunch time for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've alread spent some (maybe all) of their parachute money in the form of a bank loan. Which they now have to pay back with interest. In addition to the player issues above, they are sitting very uncomfortably right now. https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/finance-expert-gives-lowdown-on-sheffield-uniteds-payday-loan-equivalent-arrangement-with-vampire-bank-3370681 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smhouston Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 They've already released Mous and Freeman which is another £15m not recouped I don't think financial meltdown imminent though. Just a tightening of the purse strings a bit. They're producing good youngsters too which will be see them by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
