Whenever I unexpectedly read about clingfilm I'm reminded of one of the strangest websites that ever was, populated only with tales of Roy Orbison being wrapped in clingfilm.

Rev Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 7 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: To say they could present a sales value from 2020, following the global economy taking a battering, as new evidence for the valuation at 2018 is plain wrong. You are assuming that a professional value at today would provide the same value as in 2018, it wouldn't. As an asset in 2018, Pride Park Stadium would have generated £x ex million, in 2020 it is currently generating £0 and therefore is less valuable to any investor. Its really very basic stuff. It's worth bearing in mind that as Mel was a related party, the valuation had to be credible. That requirement isn't there for unrelated parties, Mel can sell the stadium for whatever price he wants if he's no longer involved in the football club ownership.

Ghost of Clough Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 11 hours ago, CornwallRam said: Agreed, there isn't. But if the stadium were sold there would be. The EFL rules do not limit the evidence which can be used to verify that a transaction was made to a 'fair value'. They specifically assert their rights to revisit past rulings. As I've said previously, I don't believe that they will revisit the stadium ruling as the transaction will be configured in such a way as to support the 2018 valuation. But to say that it's impossible is just plain wrong. If Mel decided to sell the ground to the Sheikh for £1, do you think the EFL will then claim that should have been the actual value in 2018? What about another scenario where the Sheikh buys the club for £1 and the ground for £80m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about another scenario where the Sheikh buys the club for £1 and the ground for £80m. Any price is acceptable as long as the transaction is between unrelated parties. The EFL action was only possible because the owner of the club sold the stadium to himself, so had to be at a fair price. If the new owners buy the club outright, and Mel isn't part of the ownership, he can sell the stadium for whatever he wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know Mel is desperate to sell and that we desperately need a striker so will probably do all they can to delay the appeal decision maybe this is the issue (though Owenitk says not). If it is, the solution is the new owner goes to the EFL, says MM is history let's put it all behind us, and agrees a fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
