And as I understand something like £3.5 m was borrowed by Stewart Day with %40 used on a consultancy fee (Not specified to whom but I’m assuming Day) And only a few hundred thousand £ found its way into the football club itself.

Many people would scream No But Simon Jordan is the man the EFL should employ as their head

Former Stoke City coach Kevin Phillips has claimed some players retained their Premier League wages after relegation, a decision which he believes damaged morale at the club. Phillips , the former Sunderland, Southampton and West Brom striker, was part of Gary Rowett’s backroom team at Stoke until the manager was sacked in January following a difficult eight months at the club. But during a discussion on BBC Radio 5 Live about the problems facing team when they are relegated, Phillips said it was something he had seen at Stoke City last summer He explained: “In terms of pay when teams come down, where players are having 40 per cent to 50 per cent cuts in their wages, we experienced this at Stoke. “Straight away there was a rift within the squad because three or four players were put straight back on their Premier League contracts just to keep them at the club for this season. “But there were other players who were not given their Premier League money, so straight away you’re fighting battles behind the scenes. And it doesn’t help the squad, it doesn’t you as a manager or a coaching staff to get that cohesion on the pitch, that camaraderie, that togetherness you need to be a success.” In the weeks after Stoke dropped out of the top-flight, both Joe Allen and Moritz Bauer signed new deals, although it is unknown whether the contracts restored their top-flight terms. When asked to repeat his claim about player wages at Stoke, Philips said: “From what I believe that is the case, but you’ve got to be very careful about the way you structure deals for these players. “From our point of view, if you are going to do it with three or four players then you have to do it with the majority of the squad to keep that morale and cohesion you need in the squad.” Stoke finished a troubled first season back in the Championship after a decade as a top-flight club in 16th place.” Here’s some of their (alleged) wages last season

That will be Anderson then as his solicitors were the only ones they were waiting for on Friday ******* Snake Him and that piece of **** Dale should be burnt at the stake Criminals in a businessman’s guise

I have absolutely no knowledge or understanding of company business , CVAs , Liquidation , purchasing debt etc But reading those who do , on here , and listening to pieces on radio and in press etc I would say if some criminal conduct has not gone on it must run very close Also , The fact that the EFL are obliged to check funding of new owner within 10 days of taking ownership and yet still havnt done so with Dale 8/9 months later is incredible

Blimey didn’t realise their was any problems there I Missed that too If I had a hunch on a bigger club it would be Stoke When you see the wages they were dishing out - crazy And they gave Bauer and Joe Allen new 5 year contracts when they were relegated from the prem Theres an interesting piece by Kevin Phillips where he explains that Stoke gave some players Bauer and Allen incl new contracts on relegation to stop them pushing to leave , as said players were very unhappy that their wages were due to drop due to relegation clauses ! Phillips indicated that immediately you had a mix of relegated players many of whom were unhappy that some had been given a pay boost with them left on reduced wages

One of the guys who helped save them some years back, Ian Harrup , a lifelong (50+ years) Bury fan was in a state on radio last night Poor bloke He claimed that the going ons at Bury were being looked at by the Serious Fraud Office Was this Just him emotional or , (hopefully) is there some truth in this ? Hes also vowed to finance forensic accountants to expose what’s gone on I hope he does

Every time this clown returns I keep thinking of

This is what I was aiming at tbh and their total lack of backbone when it comes to regulation

EFL frightened to death about legal action from other L1 Clubs Useless organisation

This is a whoosh right The only question is , will we make the Prem (Not Personally Interested So that’s a pointless attempt with me) before you go out of business ? Btw - Do you ever confess to being a sad Sag , in real life I mean

Yes , £20 million - worth twice your clubs total value And We know all about Prem teams , Manchester United incl Rashford, Zlatan , Pogba ....you get the drift Maybe you saw it , it was a quarter final live on Sky Lovely pass to Korey Smith for the winner
