I can't in truth see a bid ticking enough boxes without MM doing something unexpected. You'd think that with each passing week, the "best and final offers" are likely to be heading only in one direction...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Feels like when I have patiently waited in A&E for 4 hours...having been told the wait is 2hours, and then finally seen somebody who takes my name and asks me what the problem is before asking me to sit in another waiting room to see the specialist.

It's far too easy to loan a club the money and then write it off, or recoup if successful getting to the PL. It surely can't be that simple under ffp? BBB, affecting amortisation and selling stadiums is manipulating asset values, and therefore is an FFP (P&S) transaction. Loaning a club monies, even if it was £100m, does not have any affect on profitability, other than any interest element. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has gone on too long - very puzzled by your post thinking had missed something crucial with the mysterious "BBB". Then realised. Either being driven mad by this process or working on something until silly o'clock. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 This is positive for the creditors, Q Is milking for the highest bid. We fans need to know our place in this narrative. It's the necessary role of collateral damage. i-Ram, RAM1966, jono and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit worried really, the specialist had a good look and said she would need to see me again as a private consultation, apparently she was concerned about spreading as she had never seen anything so big, swollen and angry looking.

I don't know why but you keep missing the point, the writing off of the loans does not help FFP. Profit from the sale of a stadium did help FFP (though the rules have now changed to exclude the profits from stadium sales too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 On 22/03/2022 at 09:15, Tamworthram said: To be honest, I don’t think it matters how many previous cases there were. You only need one incident of a club taking advantage of the situation to walk away from their debts Scot free for it to be right to change the rules. If the EFL had foreseen it could happen they would probably have included the sanction in their rules before any club had done it. How many examples are there of the following points deductions, embargo’s then almost sending or sending clubs under? I think we will be alright in the end but had this happened to a club with a smaller fan base I don’t think they would. I think they set a barrier to getting out of admin. If MM turned out to be the PB and he’s written off all the debt I think it would be reasonable. But this only punishes the fans and the club. Not the person(s) responsible.

In fact, going in to admin and exceeding P&S are extremely unlikely. The former suggests a lack of money, whilst the latter is usually a result of having plenty of money to throw around. That’s what we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBritishMidland Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I don’t think this is a real change from the Team Derby announcement. I suspect the use of the phrases like “deadline for bids” is probably a bit misleading. Bids will be in. Quantuma will have asked their last set of tender clarification / negotiation questions and the deadline for those to be in is Friday. After that, the PB is selected. The next step is to take the details of the PB and their business plan to the EFL, and they usually meet on Thursday. That would mean a public announcement at the end of next week.

Writing off past loses on a sale can often help Ffp and has done for example when fawaz sold Forest. however as part of our November agreement with Efl in addition to kindly agreeing to our 21 point deduction we also agreed not to include any exceptional items. So that loophole is closed for us but not anyone else as far as I know. Indy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can build up debt to an owner over time and if they are not wanting it back or interest on it then it’s not a problem the problem is that 95% of owners want it back ! - at Stoke city the owner of Bet 365 has far too much money and she helps her very rich brother and father out an awful lot with the Stoke city debt - we should have got her to buy us - in fact we still could probably jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
