I would suspect with ourselves it would become closer to £10m a year loss in revenue. It could perhaps mean even more, because I certainly agree with your 16000 figure. I would imagine some bigger games would result in more, but that would be our base - Stevenage on a Tuesday night - figure. The new owners would have the option to continue with the category one academy. Sunderland do. The operational budget needs to be £2.5m for it to be classed as a category one academy - not to dissimilar to what the EFL want clubs in League One to be run at. Assuming all U23 clubs are still able to enroll in the Paint Trophy (or whatever it's called now) then we could see a Derby County U23 home game against Derby County. Magic of the cup. Derby County v Derby County? We couldn’t lose that surely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make us the richest club in League 1. But who would we attract to bounce back?

Rab a dab doo Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The 'question' is soon going to change if something does not done very soon from "If we go down" to "When we go down" . "Time and tide waits for no man or club". While we dither, wait and ponder match after match goes by with little or no improvement or change of fortune. At the moment were a club in limbo both on and off the field just drifting inextricably towards the abyss. WAKE UP Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been imminent since we parted company with Cocu. My worry is that it's not going to happen. Why would the sheikh (or anyone) want to pump money into our club in its current state?

Why would we be bothered about losing a bit more money? It's not like we make a profit now and there will be a fire sale on our "talent" if we go down. We wouldn't have to worry about losses from an FFP perspective in league 1 and I'm pretty certain the academy stuff doesn't count towards it anyway does it? When we sell the rest of our players it can cover the academy for a couple of season. If Mel is in charge I guess he wouldn't want to lose anymore money, but I'm not sure the potential new owners would be that bothered if it helped them get promoted.
