Comrade 86 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Srg said: Get what you're saying, but if you force sales to be at market value, you are equally hindering the ability to get money in quickly to stay afloat. If it's either accept £1m and stay in business, or the value to remain at £5m and have no one willing to pay that for the player, then I think they'd want to take the £1m. It's a valid point, well made, but the compromise could be that a tribunal sets a minimum value that still offers the buyer value, but ensures the seller is not being rumped. I think some aspects of the transfer system and I'd include academy products in this, really need to be looked at. It's too darn easy for the bigger clubs who need financial support least, to run roughshod over those who need it most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Less than 5 months ago he was supposed to be buying Morecambe, now it's Wigan - who next? I feel sorry for Wigan fans but it doesn't sound a promising solution to their current problems. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The links to crypto are a moot point. This guy has no money. He's like a poundshop version of the madhead who tried to buy us.

When players aren’t paid, surely it makes sense to bring in legislation that allows these players to move on for free - if not unpaid for good reason? It just makes sense and will ensure owners pay players to secure assets. This is obviously in dangerous territory now. They’re hated by the majority of the clubs due to how they spent money last time in League One and apparently rubbed everyone’s face in it, but I feel bad for them - very real possibility they don’t see out the season or even see IN the season.

I thought they stopped paying players with contracts expiring this month, but were continuing to pay those under contract. So any legislation (some is already in place) wouldn't make a difference.
