If you run the club well maximise commercial opportunities to offset losses with good management and a bit of investment over 4-5 years you could have a club ready to challenge for top half of the championship ready for a rich buyer looking to get a potential premiership club on the cheap. That has to be the business model. This 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannyroader Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I wonder how much scope there is for improving revenue from off the field commercial avtivity. I used to work for a large company who held meetings a couple of times a year for about 500 of the workforce from 2 locations at Worsley and Bamber Bridge at what was then the Reebok. They stopped going to the Reebok, instead using Leigh Sports Village and later on Salford City Reds new stadium off the M60 near Barton bridge.

I’d say it’s total bollocks personally. If FV are still scrabbling down the back of the sofa to even buy us they aren’t going for sacking Parky and his staff and appointing Pearson. If they aren’t struggling for funds then brings the rest of his piece into question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the bloke in the background of the photo over his shoulder, that the article was relating too. If ever you needed a photo crop or snipping tool to avoid confusion!

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 28, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2019 I’ll be livid if even more promising kids leave for nowt/buttons. Getting these through and selling for decent money plus sell on is our best chance of becoming stable - probably only chance in reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal needs to be done on Monday. Everything is ready. If FV aren’t then the admins will look at options the most likely being liquidation unless FV can assure them that they will be ready very very soon.

I'm unclear when this liquidation thing happens, because administrators will be happy to give FV as long as they want as they are raking in the money the longer it takes. We are all supposing it has to happen this week but if players agreed to play whilst not getting paid (unlikely) wouldn't we just carry on under administration?

Administrators cannot continue to trade an insolvent business. So they liquidate whenever the money is gone. But on top of that in all likelihood the EFL won’t let us start the season in admin without a clear sense we can finish it. If FV are certain they can complete soon I suspect we go on. But if it’s just rolling with no assurance I suspect league step in and say they need certainty if we are to play next weekend. In my view the deal is either done early this week or liquidation is pretty nailed on. Unless someone is willing to fund the club in admin on an ongoing basis.
