I doubt MR is losing any sleep over him. He simply is not in MR's plans for the foreseeable it seems. And everyone can see that. Need to focus on the players that really matter not Bright and his attitude

Probably adds around 200k to the clubs income. In theory more to MR but depends if club is meeting all its other costs first

Think we might get a point from this one. Would be happy with that, even accept a narrow loss if we beat Preston. Have a mate who is a Preston fan who has been claiming bragging rights for ages, would be good to give some of it back 👍 1: 1 today

Hang on though covid hit march 2000. First Lock down was 23/03/2020. So for the 2020 financial year the hit was a couple of months. In 2018 Derby had a turnover of 29m compare that with CCFC. The main hit came August 2020 when season started with no fans That changed in 2020/21 season when...

Who appointed the administrators? Might give a good indication as to who controls the process and their intentions

Could be that any potential buyers are only interested in Derby as a championship team. So the administrators have to at least try to make some sort of an appeal to give any potential deal a chance. Value of Derby in championship is going to be more than Derby in league 1 so staying in current...

Mel Morris took control and bought his 22% share holding May 2014, as you might expect there are several entities that own shares in shares in shares etc. that later became 100% control by Mel Morris From that time wages which had matched turnover the four years previously started to increase...

Similar appeal didn't work for Wigan The accounts don't support the argument either. Since 2015 Derby have been making operating losses in excess of 20m. That's before putting in any amortisation of player contracts correct or otherwise Results have been buffered by a series of one off...

Can't help thinking that "football is not a normal business " too often is a convenient excuse for poor management, excessive risk and ego by owners that fans have too easily bought in to. It also suits the football authorities to promote that claim because it allows them to hide non normal...

Perhaps I am as far as I write here doesn't mean I don't have or understand the passion. I do tend to keep it to the facts on here I accept that. The Derby comments were more to illustrate the possibility of failure to save. I dont accept just because it is Derby they will automatically be OK...

Yes you are wrong. The debt of Otium is owed to two funds managed by SISU Capital which charge interest at 11%+. So no the debt is not owed to sisu companies/ itself. It is still a legal debt due to a separate legal entity based abroad. The structure of debt has been the same since 2008. It is...

Premier League: Saudi Arabia-backed Newcastle takeover complained about by other clubs - Clubs complain about Newcastle takeover Concerns or jealousy?

This supposed increase in club value is a nonsense, complete bollocks but it makes a good headline. These clubs have no right to the owners wealth but the owner has the right to the clubs wealth ...... not the same thing at all. The club is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. In this...

No. There is something meaningful and solid about taking time to build things through achievement & hard work. Waving obscene amounts of money to achieve success basically takes the connection between the fans who have stuck through thick and thin away from the club over time. It becomes more...

There is no real drive the football authorities to change anything and whilst the media and fans fawn over multi billionaires "saving" their club nothing will change. Being pragmatic though how do the English football authorities who have comparatively little wealth in terms of cash take on the...

As expected the BBC wheeled out Alan Shearer to give his comments https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58837780 there are two comments that he made that seems at odds to each other "Their (fans) money hasn't been invested and they've not been consulted. " - so where has it gone because...

only room for so many really though, and for it to truly work the team has to win things to cement the global reputation. I think having the super owner locks that owner in and no we havent seen any pull the plug in England ..... yet Their problem really, at least the toon might stop bleating...

and add to what i put earlier When Ashley took over balance sheet net liabilities (£16m) and squad value £40m per the financial statements 30/06/2020 Balance sheet net assets £20m and squad value in the financial statements £93m The new owners cannot invest in players until January earliest...

Took a very quick look at the NUFC accounts Ashley bought in 23/05/2007 Since then the club has purchased £519m in players and sold £331m in players up to 30/06/2020 I make that a net investment of £188m in players. Hardly insignificant, and thats is before accounting for the funds needed to...

Can't help thinking that the owners and directors test is being fudged to allow it to go through. Possibly due to threat of legal action ? Not sure you can separate the buying entity from the Saudi state when both are controlled by the same people. That sets an uncomfortable precedent I...
