Not sure of your reasoning on this at all. All the prospective buyers are all interested in buying the stadium. They do not have to. And Morris does not have us by the balls. If anything the other way around .. as landlord he won’t want to lose his biggest tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true that any buyer will need to buy PP. If the leasehold interest in the stadium is transferable and acquired by the new owner we can carry on playing at PP. I accept it is far from ideal to not own the ground, and I agree it would put off most if not all from buying the Club.

Indy Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Bristol City and EFL: “Discussions are still being held to establish whether forecast transfer revenue can be included, along with ticket sales, as an “add-back”, with City to seek independent auditors and transfer experts to determine the full figure, which is deeply subjective.” Using auditors to determine a notional (ie fantasy) loss of ticket revenue and player sales that they want EFL to include in their profit/loss calculation for FFP.

TomTom92 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The Derby administration cycle: News outlets report buyer imminent. Good news day. Day after Percy and Nixon say nothing close then a random news article appears saying we’re in dead lumber. 2 days later..The administrators say they’re confident of a buyer within 48 hours. Good news day. Radio silence for a week and on the pitch we carry on with status quo. The forum becomes more of a Wild West than usual. Silence is broken by more doom and gloom from Nixon and co. Day later Rooney reveals in his presser that this week is the week and we’re up for the fight. And repeat. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he's wrong, in which case we'll have all of our points back, and compensation for 2+ years of mis-applied transfer sanctions etc... r_wilcockson, Ram-Alf, Indy and 5 others 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The potential for other clubs getting into trouble is why we have to keep fighting to pick up every point right up to the end of the season - just in case !!

The article suggests that it is more likely to be next season and beyond that other clubs have difficulty. We might be the only club in the championship next year without a points deduction.
