CornwallRam Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I wonder if we would be allowed to start next season still in adminstration? We would not be allowed to start 2 seasons in adminstration, but that wouldn't be the case. It would obviously need the EFL to loosen the embargo, but if they allowed us to sign free agents and feeless loans upto a certain wage, maybe £3.5 k per week, we ought to be able to cobble together a squad for League 1. Maybe a wage bill of £8m? That should be covetable with our income from walk up tickets - assuming not allowed to sell STs, and TV money. Hopefully it won't come to that, but better than liquidation if there is a bid still being negotiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will, but only if the administrators convince the EFL that the takeover will be completed within the allowed time period (mid-March 2023). If a PB is to be selected this week, the takeover should be complete before the end of June so it shouldn't be much of an issue. On contracts, the EFL shouldn't allow us to sign anyone until we prove we can complete the season (ie takeover completed). However, I hope the EFL show some common sense and allow us to enter contract discussions with players currently at the club before the end of May, if things look to be completed soon.

That link to what it costs Middlesbrough to run their club was rather frightening https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/money-go-hidden-costs-running-15860716 The costs didn't look that outrageous - it was £9m per year to run the stadium & staff plus £6m for the training facilities/academy & that didn't include paying the players If we are in League One based on those numbers we won't be playing in next season without a new owner even if the players play for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless MSD plan on loaning us more and more money, I don't think the club has the funds to go beyond the end of the season, unless a new owner is found. It would be allowed, but without proof of funding, there's not a chance. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
