  5. A complete embarrassment to Bristol and the English football as a whole. As Portsmouth fans once remarked, they pipe crowd noise through the PA to generate an 'atmosphere', the time must fast be approaching where they place mannequins in the empty seats to make the 'stadium' look populated (I am sure a large percentage of their 'fans' have inflatable mannequins at home they could donate to this project)

  16. Can get some decent tents for £4million..... They are a thick bunch, how can a club in their situation turn down £4 million in the first place! IF a club even offered £500,000 + they would snap their hands off!!!

  17. In my youth I studied valuation and estate management, although I never got into practice. If I remember correctly, there was/is a method of valuing commercial/investment property based on rental income. This utilises something called years purchase and value is arrived at by way of a formula that takes into consideration rental and the yield or rate of return the property gives/is expected to give. For Derby their case seems to have been made on the basis of an independent "desk" valuation, and as there is no active and established open market in football stadium sales, there are no comparable against which this can be measured and compared. From all the answers given by them, I am still none the wiser as to the basis of the valuation, as the valuer seems to have taken very conceivable item into consideration - I saw it suggested that the new roof ( mooted but not yet agreed, work started and certainly not completed) had enhanced the value. The valuers desk valuation at £80m maximised the financial benefit to Derby upon completion of the "sale" However, following completion, Derby were committed to a ridiculously low annual rent, which was obviously designed to minimise the financial impact on Derby County. I can't remember the exact rental figure, but when it was mentioned on here I recall that it provided a return so low ( against there £80m price "paid") that it was no better than a high rate savings account and certainly not compatible with the quality of stadium the £80m valuation implied. On the face of it, Derby have had their cake and eaten it, as far as the valuation and rental levels are concerned - one maximising the immediate financial benefit, the other minimising the future financial impact, and especially for ffp. The EFL could question the level of rental when compared to the independent property value, but I suspect that Derby will say that one was independently provided, while the other was a commercial agreement between 2 parties. Therein lies the fundamental problem with the EFL cocking up the ffp rules so that sale of an asset to a related third party does not, in itself, break the rules. What it does do, however, is leave the situation wide open to manipulation because buyer and seller are one and the same , which I suspect is what most outsiders looking at this will be thinking. The EFL have been on the back foot since it came to light that they themselves left open this loophole. Their one angle of attack was the valuation, but having failed to really push on this issue when it first arose, I think they've missed their chance and anything they now try to do will probably be just bluster to appease other clubs ( like Boro) that are making waves of their own.

  28. I'm equally as shocked that there is a word for ingesting masturbated donkey semen - who the hell sits down and thinks - 'I know, I saw a bloke knocking one out of a donkey and then swallowing it - I'll make a word for it and put it on the internet.' Bloody hell, there are some strange people out there. "Stambling" When I think of Sweden, I think of the Swedish Bikini Team, not guzzling Donkey Jizz.

  35. When I was a nipper in the mid fifties I can remember reading stories in the News of the World about these atrocities. Even at that age I could not understand how cruel human beings could be to other human beings and I have never wanted to see the evidence.

  37. I retired a few years ago, but as I recall, the accounts would be drawn up as at the year end date and a Post Balance Sheet note would have been included which explained and showed the effect of the transaction. I have never come across a transaction like this, despite being involved in some "interesting" accounting practices and quite a few normal property deals. I think you will need to see board minutes to get to the very bottom of this - assuming they are not too opaque. You could take profit on exchange, so again you need to see the documentation. I will leave this one to more current accountants and enjoy my retirement!

  40. That's how these people operate, integrating themselves into organisations which give them the opportunity to have contact with children, such as church organisations, sports clubs, youth groups etc. In my view, far too serious a topic to be used to take a cheap shot at a rival football club.
