Thought it would have been higher given the industry. I can't see how anybody can object to the proposed salary bearing in mind we are paying multiples of that for some pretty crap players. And that we were paying Ashton £500k for being utterly incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not realised that was the case. Okay that is very interesting. Thank you- are these podcasts available to non-subscribers to The Athletic? Am guessing not. The narrative for some time was that Harvey was fine with such arrangements- maybe he was deep down, or that there was an EFL oversight in transferring across the new regulations from 2016/17.

I thought it was allowed, then the PL stopped allow stadium sale to be be allowed to be included in the FFP figures….but the copy and paste conveniently left the old rule in. Did Purslow ask Harvey to cock up the copy and paste? 31 minutes ago, Rocking Red Cyril said: Yes Dave me too. And retirement on benefits to look forward too Crowdfunded required.

Sorry I wasn't clear in my post but my recollection is to stop it. I may have to listen again though, my memory not being what it was.

Thanks, found it a bit after. Listening to the one with Parry now. A good listen most definitely- I had an idea that the P&S was copied across tied to solidarity payments but wasn't aware that the Stadium sale issue was also a mandatory condition. That's crazy thinking about it- and yet if that was a condition, then the EFL should have had carte blanche IMO to investigate newly promoted clubs on their terms at their timescale- cake and eat it much!

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure that he also said Middlesbrough are/were technically correct in terms of the Derby case. Would have to listen back for the precise wording but I do hope in the interests of fairness that the claims will get a fair hearing through the appropriate channels. Don't see where £45m kicks in but the principle might well be a valid one- although Gibson argued about the ground yet it was the second charge- the amortisation- that did for Derby from an FFP perspective.

Having listened again and as Mr P has now posted also the PL imposed the rule allowing clubs to sell stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Surely the issue of the stadium was not that it was done, but the method and valuation used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
