If Ashley swoops in and picks them up for peanuts it’s bang out of order for all the debtors and I hope nobody extends them any credit ever again!
if it turns out they haven’t fully paid for Bielik but they get to profit from his sale how is that fair in any way? Arsenal lose out and Derby profit from being dickheads and using loopholes
Football debts must be repaid 100%, so as part of any takeover Arsenal will get the full fee. Derby can only profit is they sell him for more than they owe, and that ain’t happening with his injury record.
I fully expect the game at the Valley to be postponed when we play them at this rate.
"Not enough Senior players in their team" will be the reason.
Shouldn't matter. You play who is there. If it is youth players so be it. Unfair on the rest of the league to have it postponed 'because we weren't ready'

EFL appears to be bending over backwards for them over everything else, so wouldn't surprise me

Happened a few years ago with Bolton though, they had 3-4 senior players at the start of the season, played a lot of kids and took some heavy beatings. But they called a game off in that run as well.

As I recall Parkinson called one came off after playing a few to protect the younger players as he said it was detrimental to their health, which is understandable I think and I believe they did get punished for it. But they did at least try to play their fixtures with a very weak side.
Derby County's takeover by local property developer David Clowes has been completed, ending the League One club's nine months in administration. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61927037
Not Sandgarrd bashing but it will be interesting to compare Derby's fortunes to ours over the next few years. Clowes' statement says all the right things.....similar to TS (apart from Prenier League in 5 years). Will actions match his words I wonder....??
Imagine Bury fans…. I don’t want to see any club die but you can’t have one rule for small clubs and another for former giants.
Still, quite a heartbreaking realisation for the bury fans, especially loyal dedicated supporters. They must have followed the club through thick an thin, and then It all just disappears.
It's hard to imagine how that must have felt.
The thought of Charlton athletic actually completely disappearing is a heartbreaker. An AFC Charlton etc...just wouldn't be the same. It would simply just be all gone. The memories remain.
I don't think Charlton will ever be threatened with real administration. I think we are now at least in safe enough hands going forward.
Charlton will always be of interest to potential new owners. Bids will always be put forward for the club. It's due to location and "potential".
Pleased for the Derby fans. I suspect that this season will be one of consolidation for them, and that they'll smash L1 in 23/24.
It’s interesting as they’re in a very similar position to Wigan last year. They only have 4 players left on their books and I’d imagine they’d want to ship them out quickly as they’ll be on mega money for league 1. Imagine how much Bielik is on!
This will leave them with a completely clean slate which is actually far easier than the situation we found ourselves in last season of having to be really careful balancing the books with lots of dead wood still here taking up loads of the wage limit.
The biggest difference is that Wigan had more time to get themselves in gear. Which is why I think it’s a good thing we’re playing Derby early on.
there wage bill and transfer budget have been limited by the EFL. it is part of the business plan presented to the EFL, they have also lost most of last seasons best young players. probably for a pittance.
