Derbados Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Just hope this doesn’t turn out badly or that we’ve made the wrong choice of investor. probably an unpopular opinion but I don’t rate Mels decision making at the best of times. hope he’s got this one right, hope to god it’s not Gillette’s son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 So, how can money be introduced without flouting FFP? I assume only through massive sponsorship? The ground cant be sponsored to benefit the club so has anyone got an idea...………or am I being thick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the terms of the rental agreement for the ground mean that we can rename it via sponsorship if we want to - can't see Mel cutting off such a potentially lucrative source of income if there's a way round it....

Perhaps Mel could sell the ground back to us just before we get the massive sponsorship ? Investment in fixed assets is outside FFP/P&S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with I-pro was they didn't pay what they were supposed to. I only hope when wd do have to change the name again its at least not something cringing awful.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I cant see it being anyone overly loaded, there hasn't been any leaks of information in terms of who it is or even from which country. Usually when a big investment/takeover is bubbling more details about the investor tends to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
