There will never be a shortage of fans happy to pay their £30 a month, or whatever it is, and sit at home watching matches. I guess being slightly is better than be blinkered all together so I will take that compliment. The biggest stakeholder in the English game is fans. Sky TV only exists because of fans. If there were no fans watching you wouldn't have multi million pounds worth of companies investing in adverts during the games which Sky rely on to purchase the rights to the Premier League.

Guess it depends on what you class as fans, Im on about the people that attend matches, though Im guessing the term does extend further than that.

Turk Thrust Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I hope “the” or “a” takeover happens soon. Re the debate about what a stakeholder is, the dictionary definition is What Is a Stakeholder? A stakeholder is a party that has an interest in a company and can either affect or be affected by the business. The primary stakeholders in a typical corporation are its investors, employees, customers, and suppliers. Abu Derby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine you are a player who Derby want to sign, do you go and sign knowing that potentially you may not get paid next month or do you stay put or go elsewhere?. This not only prevents us signing players now it will impair our ability moving forward too. Unless the takeover is completed then this situation will likely be repeated.

To quote WR, "I have players waiting to sign" or something of that ilk, If your're out of contract(and they'll be quite a few)and if someone like WR asks you to sign, I'd sign, But you have a good point.
