Stuck on a scholarship contract as a professional contract would have meant he was unavailable for the first team. Crazy rules. It basically left the club with the choice of accepting an offer now or letting it go to tribunal. That takes us to 6 youngsters who have left to join Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea over the past 3 seasons for a combined £3m. That’s actually quite sad, I have to say. Being able to develop and possibly sell homegrown players is huge for clubs like ours. All the early years investment without reaping the rewards of first team appearances and or decent transfer fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise until HXJ pointed out about the situation re registrations should you go under. He'd automatically be a free agent on those terms, don't know about your other kids sold, but worrying for you if it reeks of them going as the administrators ensure they maximize all returns come worst case.

I assume the payment scheme would be part of a CVA, so similar to an IVA for an individual, where monies in and out are strictly controlled for the period of the CVA?

I'm not sure of the breakdown of that owed HMRC , I assume it mostly VAT, though is it not still the case that if income tax / NI has been deducted at source but not paid over that the individual remains liable in those sums?

It's second preferential debt, so that will be PAYE/Employees' NIC and VAT. Given the known circumstances it will be nearly impossible for HMRC to recover anything off anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I've googled and whilst I can see the EFL statement about postponing the meeting and the positive developments, this is the closest I can fid to evidence that those developments constitute an 'official bid which meets the requirements set by the EFL'. @AnotherDerbyFan do you have a source for that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Depends what we mean by sign players I guess. Any alteration of the regs should be a big no, but free transfers within wage and other EFL limits or an emergency loan maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No to the first bit - if it's by way of a CVA then they still need to complete that process. As regards the second bit they already can - might need to dispose of one or two first though! From EFL Official Website - Embargoes + Embargo Reporting Service – Q&A External Under what circumstances can a Club operating under an Embargo sign players? Outside of a Transfer Window Outside of a transfer window, Clubs can only register Out of Registration players (free agents) and Clubs can only register Out of Registration players if they have less than 16 players of Professional Standing (2x Goalkeepers, 14x Outfield Players) Professional Standing = is any Player who has made one first team appearance (including as a sub) for any Club in any first team competition (EFL Trophy appearances do not count). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Suppose the other thing any potential buyer needs to consider is next season and beyond. What is Championship football worth? 4mill in TV and solidarity, probably another 4 or 5 thousand on attendance per game based on a larger home/away following and higher sponsorship and corporate revenue. Looks like Derby are going down and we know League One isn't easy to get out of, so if they have any players under contract with no relegation clause, it could be an expensive few seasons. If they stay up, maybe there is value in owning them. It's a gamble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in breach currently. And they will remain in breach until the debt is cleared. So if they do a four year payment plan then they could be in an Embargo for four years, significantly in excess of the Administration embargo. 23 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: I don't remember the details of creditors meetings.
