If that's the case then Mel has some serious explaining to do, it's not acceptable. Staff have been paid on time, before anyone suggests I’m on the payroll I’m not, but I do know they have been paid.

Someone elsewhere pointed this out - look at the journalists past stories. Maybe a gobby wag who's other half isn't a regular starter in the team.

How strange, you would think a companies pay roll would go through all at the same time, with the usual cut off for expenses etc. The bank holiday theory would make more sense if no one at all had got paid, you would think.

It’s difficult to say, football club accounts are not straight forward, without knowing the systems or where the money for what comes in and out, automatically or push of a button there’s really no point in even speculating. The money is most likely in the players accounts now, for this to drop on “Rooney Day” is disappointing but at the same time we have a choice of how the day goes, do we try and pour more fuel on this fire and freak out over whats probably a non story as we have seen before or look forward to the game? I know what I’ll be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 57 minutes ago, CornwallRam said: The club is insolvent by any normal measure. It is being kept afloat by the owner pouring money in. If for any reason Mel can't or won't keep the money flowing, the club would soon hit the buffers. I've heard that Mel is putting in £30m a year. Even if the £80m did come in, a large chunk was to make up the existing deficit. Without Mel putting any more cash in, how long would, say, £50m stave off a cash flow problem? My worries about administration have never been around this situation though. I believe that administration would be almost inevitable if we got relegated, which is what I've aluded to in the past. Hopefully this is just tiny hiccup and the story will just vanish. You're going to have back that up with evidence. Per the accounts as at 30 June 2018 the club had net current assets of £60m.

Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 All desiged to try and disrupt what will be a great day in DCFC's history. Makes you hate the mdeia even more. When you think about it, they've timed it to perfection and how did they know they'll defintely be paid today. Can't wait for tonight, COYR.

Unreal, I still cannot believe my eyes may get to see Wayne Rooney pull on a Derby shirt, score a goal, score a free kick, or a bicycle kick for my club. Madness.

nottingram Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 It’s pretty likely that the players contracts are much more complicated than those of ‘normal’ staff isn’t it? Win bonuses, goal bonuses, clean sheet bonuses, assist bonuses, image rights and what not Probably all has to be calculated before the players are paid. We had a game only a couple of days before the end of the month. It wouldn’t surprise me if this happened fairly regularly in such circumstances, it’s just that most clubs don’t have anyone currently ‘employed’ who has such a large axe to grind as we do, ahem.

Animal is a Ram Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Seems to have been exacerbated a little by the NYD bank holiday. Don't panic. I'm sure the players won't be losing much sleep over it being 2 days late, ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
