In terms of points deduction, it won't make any difference to whether the players agree to a wage deferral or not. It's going to be hard to get anyone to invest in the club whilst Dai appears to be acting in bad faith. Any idea how much Howe has involved Dai? Any risk we get a repeat of Genevra whe...

There's also 13.8% employers national insurance on top of the gross pay figures. On a £5 million payroll. That's £690k on top.

Sir John can`t be short of a bob or two, he has the club at heart, maybe he can chip in with a loan until the end of the season. #clutchingatstraws. Be better coming in as part of the new consortium later. At the moment the club is unfortunately still sliding backwards. (Not referring to onfield re...

It doesn't change much really, we are reliant on Dai deciding it is in his best interest to fund the club for the last 2 months of the season. If he doesn't do so, then we will get a bare minimum 2pt deduction, if not more. The Commission knew this when they handed down the verdict, hence no point ...

I guess the key question now is how much money, if any, is left from the player sales and whether Dai is still providing any funds. Crunch time comes when the matchday revenue dries up. All that's coming in is next season advance season ticket sales. Even then 20% is paid over to the HMRC. Treading...

No prospective buyer would give the loan without assurances that a deal will happen, as they know the club can't afford to repay it. But that is the point of it being secured, say against the Academy facility or Bearwood. If they don't repay you get your money back that way. Bearwood was financed w...

I sometimes think SBWD need to consider the bigger picture and why these punishments are levied. Yep. I could do an annotation of what is wrong with that SBWD statement. Most paragraphs to be honest. Para 1 - You need sporting sanctions to stop clubs from breaching financial fair play. As can be se...

The £60 million is to buy a 87.8% in the club, Not a pure takeover. As the current owner retains a diluted stake. Only the annual accounts will reveal the extent to which money that he has already lent the club will be written off. Another individual who has sunk some £200 million of cash into a fan...

Perhaps it's less about the players and more about the division the club end up playing in next season. As far as potential purchasers are concerned.

You could give League One clubs an extra £5 million a year, and the only result would be them spending £5 million more each on wages. Not if the money was distributed between the clubs based on a number of fair play and sustainability factors. The higher the rating the greater the % awarded. Well r...

As part of any changes ALL clubs should be forced to put clauses into ALL their player contracts so that relegation means non-negotiable % wage reductions as well as any associated bonus payments being removed or significantly reduced. Likewise clubs would also include % wage increases etc. should ...

He discussed it in detail at the hearing, if you want to look back at the video. IIRC, the teams involved in Europe may already be aiming for this level, because of UEFA rules. His other point, besides reforming FFP, was that the parachute clubs have a massive advantage over everyone else. Think th...

This won't be a surprise to anyone, but I was chatting to my (very reliable) source yesterday and he confirmed that everyone at the club, from Bowen down, is fully #sellbeforewedai. As in they are actively working against the owner and Pang. He was saying that, actually, Pang is considered to be th...

Do a search for the first man mentioned in this video. If true, appears Dai might have some friends in some powerful places! https://youtu.be/pFVPZKgmjAE?si=gW3eMBN-SlerPUrx Not really sure what all this is about mind! Believe that Dai's father was head of the Chinese Central Bank. In communist sta...

There is a negative spin available, that ultimately he won't focus on the sale of a football club which is a drop in the ocean in the context of his financial problems. Which is why continuing protest action is important. We may be a very small problem to him financially, but we can generate headli...

IF Dai is serious about selling the club, why would he (or Pang) bother to put in a sell on clause? It would be of no use to him, would it? Sell players on the cheap for just enough to keep the club ticking over and stuff the club is more likely to be in his thoughts. Because it has potential finan...

We have got some really positive media coverage atm, and support from other clubs. Last week, I was all for getting every home game abandoned, but realise that if we push things too far the tide could easily turn against us. The fact that Pang went on talk sport yesterday suggests that a cage has b...
