cider hoss rules Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Is it finally beginning to dawn on them? The thing with our debt figures is I just can’t understand where it’s all coming from. We’re only spending a certain amount given restrictions on wages. Our budget for transfers is modest at best. Where is all the rest of the money going? Other than on a London office which shouldn’t be too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 If debts piled up and Rovers had to call it a day, a new club may be formed and allowed to continue in their current division. We'll be generous and not insist they start at the bottom and work their way up (like they did with us). However will we refer to them as the 00ers? In time, that'll doubtless be changed to "The Ooer misus". All joking aside; it's been suggested that upto a dozen clubs could go bust with current income. As a oneoff,would the league allow "phoenix" clubs to continue where their previous incarnations had been? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I don’t think Rovers are likely to go bust in the near future, as they are better off not playing. Fixed costs will remain the same and there will be some loss of income from variables such as fake Fanta sales, but there are some benefits. If staff are furloughed and there are no match day costs the loss per week could be less than normal. There is also the benefit of players who will soon be out of contract and not retained, to be replaced by lower cost non-league players. If there is someone who has studied the accounts in detail they could provide an analysis of the benefits/ disadvantages of never playing.

IMO they would be better off going bust and reforming; and I like the idea of phoenix clubs restarting in the same league. Fans consortium, ground share at Twerton, sign a squad of OOC players and have a share issue to buy the Memorial Ground. They would be far better off in that position than they are now; insolvent were it not for director assurance to keep funding and losing £3m a year. And we would never again hear the petty "82ers" because as you say they would be the: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to weigh up the Pro's & con's of them never playing again. There are definitely "poetic" benefits to them going bust, but they do have to be weighed up against them never losing again... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
