I thought KW was reported as saying that the £30m had been hit as we would not be subject to the 15 point deduction. If I am right this is purely speculation and considering the NDAs in place I would not expect us to know for another 10 days or so

The decision is easy with him and others whose contracts are up. Assuming embargoes allow e tend their contracts, if they are willing to. If not sell them in January in order to start the planning for next season

In that case they will keep him

If a senior player is out of contract we should cash in this January. I would Bannan and extend what was probably a 1 year contract this summer. Offer upgraded contracts to Charles, Cadamateri, Weaver, Brown, Fusire as a minimum. in January we should look to bring in frees where that is possible with a view to developing a team for next year. Loanees are short term and while 1 or 2 extra this year will help they won’t be around next season

Disappointing to say the least. We have no forward that can win a ball in the air yet unfathomably continue with long throws. They had more right about them which demonstrated our lack of ball winners. Amass was the best outfield player and as well as not being our player he also played during the International break. Cooper looks as though he will be a good addition and hopefully he will be fit enough for 3 games this week.

What will be important is for the new owners to seriously look at future supporters. Ticket prices and even giveaways that tempt young school kids will also encourage parents. Each year there is an influx of new students attending the universities many of whom settle in Sheffield, prices aimed at attracting these cohorts of future fans has like so many things been sadly neglected

What would be a good investment for whoever it is would be the book, How to win the Premier League by Ian Graham. It details how analytics was developed and implemented by him at Liverpool. Also a good summary of the development of both Brighton and Brentford who are owned by guys, both of whom were involved in analytics in the betting industry and then used those principals for football.

Hopefully once new owners and no embargoes allow it his contract will be sorted as a priority

I think the accounts of July relate to a financial year that finishes much earlier (31 December I think ). If that is the case there has been plenty of opportunity for the loan situation to change

The principal should be applied to any senior player whose contract finishes this season and would not want League1 football

That would have been my thought but wasn’t sure how much of that 25% was discretionary with the balance retained in the club

By January it should be clear we are down even by massive optimists like myself. It would therefore make sense that if Valery’s contract is up in the summer let him go and generate some cash as he is unlikely to sign for a league 1 club. The same argument could be made for the position if a number of players whose contracts terminate this coming summer. This would give Pederson the opportunity to build a team ready to take on next years challenge

Listening to some of this got me thinking. We have to pay 25% to creditors to avoid a second points reduction and this will inevitably influence the price paid. What I’m unclear about is what happens to any money paid for the club in excess of what is owed. For example if £40m clears the 25% to the creditors and the administrators fees should the price eventually be £50m where does the additional £10m go. The club…Chansiri … ???

I would imagine the administrators will be progressing as much as they can behind the scenes. As it’s all subject to NDAs there will very likely be conversations taking place on potential bidding in order that they can close off as soon as possible after the 28 days

Done WAWAW

Given the transfer window is closed and the sale is likely to go ahead before January this is pure speculation that will take place. Once we have our new owners and know the result of whether or not there are further point deductions or embargoes continuing I am sure the right decisions will be made. That may well include the sale of some players, but shoukd also include the recruitment of players that will assist the club go forward

Would be great if they could rearrange the white seats to read WAWAW. How appropriate would that be

I’m not sure if it has been covered in here, as I have missed a few pages, but there is a fascinating view from Simon Jordan on TalkSport today. In his view it would not take much to turn the club into a successful Championship club and then Premier league, before in his words you could flip it and make a lot of money

Season ticket holders who don’t spend a penny are doing precisely this.

Similar to this comes the issue of players going down, holding up play but not requiring medical attention. The ref stops the game and has a similar effect. In these circumstances the supposedly injured player should be made to leave the field as if he had required the medics

I totally understand the frustration among fans and the feeling or need to be doing something. What I would say is whatever you do will it honestly influence Chansiri. Storming the pitch and getting the game abandoned as some suggest, will in my view, have no effect on him. He is not someone who is easily embarrassed. The current not buying merchandise, not a pound in the ground and (while I feel sorry for those involved) no POGs is impacting him and will make him move nearer the finishing line.

He won’t and that is why ideas like storming in the pitch will have no effect. The only thing he seems to understand is money. The fans continuing tonot buying merch, not paying in the gate, not buying a pint etc while he has to staff all these facilities is where our impact will be most successful

I think any point deduction will depend on ownership. If Chansiri moves in before Christmas I h think there will be a minimum if any deducted. Having said that, while the team has done well in the last 2 games, the lack of depth is going to tell shortly.

Yet another problem of his absenteeism. If he was in the area more often, or ran the club professionally there would be someone in the management team who would identify such opportunities early enough to do something. I am sure once he’s gone his replacement will manage these issues so much better

If there are no takers the stadium could be uneconomical for greyhounds only. Maybe an opportunity for a new ground.
