Loco Rojo

Scott, because I think he'll generate the biggest fee that hopefully we'll be able to use some to re-invest. 

I'd rather he stayed though.

Panic has set in.

On here

Our chances of winning a bid for one of these is a bit like the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Don't know why they waste that money and effort putting together a bid.

We’ve been really good recently. We’re going to have downs - and this is one of them - all isn’t lost. 

Don’t panic.

Flapper O’Leary. He really isn’t the answer. 

Are you talking to yourself? 

'Snow bomb' dicks. Hate it when media use over reaction headlines like this.

Ooooh let's all be like America news. 

'Snow bomb cripples UK' you can see it already.

Surely they should just get those arrested to pay the damages? 
I’d certainly not be happy as a supporter if the situation was reversed. 
You’ve arrested the people who did it. Get them to pay the bloody money. 

100% agree and if they did this in full within a very short timescale that meant City were covered quickly and repairs completed it would probably have a more impacting effect and make people think twice. 

Unfortunately I wonder if there are so many legal loop holes that people can get out of paying the full amount or repay such small amounts over such a long period that it doesn't actually deter them from doing it again. Meanwhile City end up having to fork out to repair the damage in the short term and probably never see the full amount again.

Or you could say why should the decent fan who doesn't cause trouble get punished?

Agreed. Difficult isn't it? Ultimately, these idiots keep doing it and the consequences aren't severe enough to deter them in the first place.

Added an extra £1 to all away tickets to pay for the damage.... not gone down well on their forums! 

That's an interesting way to deal with it. I kind of think fair play to them. Why should the owners or club have to pay to cover the damage caused by a minority of dick heads (every clubs got them).

Might also deter others in future if they think the club will increase costs on the fans to cover damage. Perhaps it will also encourage those who are impacted but weren't involved to call them out. 

Really good news. Pleased about this. 

It must be encouraging to others in the Academy too seeing that it is possible to progress with so many getting a chance.

A great advert for youth recruitment as well I'd have thought.

I think its also an encouraging sign that the club aren't in a financial situation where we had to sell our best players last night.  A good sign that we are able to reject bids and hopefully sends a message to other clubs about how we'll respond/negotiate in the summer.

I'd love it now if Han signed a new contract. 

Warnock perhaps

On a serious note, man united would have known about this days ago.

Imagine the inteligence they have on players?

 

 

 

If that's true (I'm not doubting it), then how long really have they known about it? This was alleged to have happened last October. 

Sorry, what a ****** idiot.

Saying things like that without any scientific/medical evidence to back up a link is exactly why some are anti vax.

**** should be more responsible. 

The only winner out of this is Ranieri and fair play to him. That was easy money.

Those energy bills aren't going to pay themselves from April.

Absolute madness if true. 

Han, if you're going to do that, you as well sign an extension lad. Bloody brilliant.

Memories of the good old days. 

A large group of young uns their Stone Island jumpers and baseball caps already up in the Triangle with carrier bags of tins. Weatherspoons will make a few quid this morning.

Just read this on the WWFC FORUM. I thought it was very sensible and well written from their perspective

 

Having spent half my career in insolvency related work I can tell you the following

a) no-one held a gun to MM's or DAFC's head and forced them to spend more than they could afford, this was a choice with obvious consequences if they failed to get to the promised land of the Premier League

b) Having failed to gain promotion the over spending chickens came home to roost which led to a conscious decision to change the amortisation method, take a loan from MDS, revalue the stadium & then sell it to MM. These were all ways to try to deliberatelu muddy the waters and avoid breaching the Profitability & Sustainability rules,

c) No one forced DCFC to not file their accounts with the EFL on time, it was their choice to file them late in an attempt (successful) to ensure points deductions were applied after the season thus staving off relegation for another season

d) It is likely HMRC could not chase (or sue) for some or all of the owing tax earlier due to the various Covid tax holidays and deferrals on offer over the last 18-20 months

e) HMRC are highly unlikely to be prepared to reduce their demand as they are not prepared to create a very expensive precedent amongst football clubs and others

f) our claim in the administration is perfectly reasonable and given they have not thrown it out; it appears the administrators accept it has some degree of foundation and legitimacy (this may or may not be at the behest of the EFL depends on which paper and which conspiracy theory you read)

g) WWFC/RC and the administrators will no doubt negotiate a settlement which I am guessing will likely be in region of £1.5-3m

h) The self admitted actions of others caused a clearly definable loss to WWFC. It is therefore absolutely right, reasonable and responsible for the directors of WWFC to protect the companies fiduciary interests as the directors of any other business would do.

i) It is rumoured that Ashley is already haggling with Gibson to get him to "reel his neck in" over the 'Boro claim - Ashley & Gibson go back a long way so this may well succeed.

j) NO ONE is suing DCFC at this point in time

P.S. I collaborated with/helped Raymond Snoddy at the FT when he uncovered & unravelled the spiders web of companies Maxwell had and used to defraud pretty much everyone but especially Mirror Group pensioners

k) what a complicated mess!

Might want to reserve comment until F-T.

Na, I'm going to be stick to being positive.....or am I just drunk already! (plus Reading didn't score the other night)

Hey, be positive, we're doing better than Reading.

This was a brave post NTTDS 

One thing today though OTIB, these lads need support today not bashing after 5 minutes when a pass goes wrong.

I'd like to think (hope) that OTIB recognises this and won't have the typical melt down, just once....please. 

We're really going for it today according to the BBC. Towler up front
