Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Think a spontaneous movement has started on Twitter to leave bad reviews for Les Ambassedeurs club and name Dai. Not bad.

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I think the situation will be making them squirm to be honest. Regulator incoming, maximum attention. They'll be dreading the possibility that this ends with liquidation almost as much as us. I believe Rick Parry is facing a select committee tomorrow (pre scheduled, nothing to do with the past week...

It seems the only thing Dai funds properly are his lawyers to defend him. He should have been banned by now - the EFL have got a lot wrong but they're doing what they can here.

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Premier League referral for FFP breaches confirmed by Everton and Forest.

I'm curious how it works for Everton, given they already have a 10 point penalty for 2020-22. Surely any penalty for 2021-23 must consider the 2 years' overlap?

Re: Reading FC Womens World

I did the short trip across the pennines a few years ago to see them earn a 1-1 draw at Man City; Fara Williams scored for us. The fall has been brutal. The sad reality is to have a professional women's team, you need a good men's team to bring in the money. The game doesn't bring in enough money by...

Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

(Edited for brevity) Hi Ozzygull - don't worry, I know all about your struggles (and was personally involved in quite a few of them - happy to discuss in more detail by PM). Ultimately, though, your move to Falmer was made possible by a political decision, when Prescott overrode the objections of F...

Re: Potential New Owners

The end of SJM's era is how things should look after an owner loses their ability to bankroll. He lost a lot in the financial crash, and we had to sell players to be sustainable. Losing players like Sigurdsson, Long and Mills was necessary, and still left money in the bank for good Championship wage...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Yessss - but this doesn't get over the fundamental problem that the money handed over by an owner isn't handed over without strings. It goes against the company as debt, making it so much harder for anyone else to come in and reducing the overall viability of that company. A massive debt owed to an...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Which is a prospective framework which looks forwards at your wage bill against forecast income is better. The concept of FFP is flawed really. It's £13m losses per annum in the Championship and £35m in the Premier League, and this excludes some funding such as the academy. So you can live well wit...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Wasn't Conor Wickham doing okay then? We'd have given him £75k a week for 5 years. Plus many other similar signings; perhaps a final big contract for Younes Kaboul.

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Even if there was an annual check, could they actually force an owner to sell if they subsequently failed it? It does feel like really significant changes are needed to prevent this happening again to some other poor club No they couldn’t but they could put steps in place that would prevent a one t...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I was thinking a lot about the playoff final yesterday Was that penalty shootout a huge sliding doors moment? No. We didn’t have a squad to compete, Dai woukd have spent big and bad. We'd have been relegated with more spending but parachute payments and still ended up roughly where we are now, give...

Re: I've lost count - Embargos, HMRC Payent defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

So the question, if the EFL charge Dai again which seems inevitable now and he`s found guilty and banned from football ownership for 12 months, what happens? As far as I can see he would be have to sell within 28 days, and if he refuses what is the outcome, punish the club and again with ejection f...
