Ghost of Clough Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 39 minutes ago, TexasRam said: Why would we sell and those under contract leave? Are the revenues in league one much different to the championship? I’m guessing season tickets sales and attendances would be similar (if allowed in), Derby in league 1 would still be a big pull so advertising etc may not alter. So that leaves TV money, is there a big difference between Championship and League 1 payments ? (I’m only asking as I really don’t know and wonder if anyone else does) Some players will not want to play in League 1. League 1 (and 2) have different financial regulations. A maximum of 65% of the club's turnover can be spent on player wages in L1 - although it might be 85% for newly relegated sides. There isn't a limit on how much an owner can inject which would count towards that budget though Revenue is slashed by about £8m. £4m due to payments from the PL, with the rest being TV income. Income from sponsorship will also reduce due to less exposure - maybe £2-3m there. Attendances almost always drop when relegated to L1 - may remain high if we're doing well. You'd expect ticket costs to be lower either way. Another £2m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus If we do go down they got us in it, they should be morally Obliged to get us out of it. the old problem, players who don't want to be with the club don't perform well. You just hand to them and lose them for nothing. Better off shipping them out. AS a Derby supporter you probably don't understand the concept of selling a player for money?

If even remotely true, it's not a wage we can afford in L1. Presumably add-ons would be due to Peterborough if he scores/plays so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many points do we need to 'probably' be safe? ... no. Though the inference would be 8 points - wins against Brum and Wednesday, points against Rovers and Preston - if we went down with those results I'd eat everyone's hats. In fact, realistically, 5 points from Rovers, Preston and Brum would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have next to no baggage in the squad so would be an excellent opportunity to regroup with a young core and hopefully come back with momentum behind us. Of course, it could go wrong if we went down, but equally we could stay up this season, not invest and go down next season. No one really knows so in my eyes, there really is no point worrying. Ultimately, it won’t be my job to fund the difference in income. Ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Yeah but a 1-0 win for Rotherham would put them above us anyway and they’d have the luxury of being above us with the two games in hand. It’s a minefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
