iansheff Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I read that Villa are looking at doing the same if they don't get promoted to the PL. Why shouldn't clubs use their assets to their benefit, the clubs that get relegated from the PL get their parachute payments to cover the high wages they pay the players. Clubs should negotiate contracts that say if we are relegated from the PL then there will be a cut in the wages, as it is, they can keep the supposedly better quality players on high PL wages.

Hmmm... ... it's a good point, but the consequences could be worrying for many fans. While a 'one-off' sale of the ground may cover the mess the club are in under FFP, what about the longer term future of the ground? If the ground is no longer owned by the club then the operational costs (which must be increasing season by season on an ageing stadium) are obviously removed from the clubs 'losses' in exchange for paying 'rent', and so these operational costs are no longer included under FFP. But these costs don't magically disappear and still need to be paid for out of Mr Tuna's wallet, so what happens if he decides these operational costs have become too much? By separating the club from the ground he has already made things a lot simpler to just sell off the ground to a third party (assuming there is a demand for new housing/office blocks in the area) and just move the club to a new location (perhaps nearer Barnsley?).

bassett one Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 he wont do that hes a top owner and has plenty of cash,but if he sells it could be a different matter,but i said he would do it and as we stand its a great idea and will give steve bruce the money he needs,its no good building just to get up like most clubs,build a side that gets you up and 50% of the players stay and build round them,then build a ground to fit us long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moistened Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Clever in the short term, pretty sound business but with a risk, like anything really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staninoodle Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Leeds did it when they went bankrupt,sold the ground to some company in manchester and rented it back on a ten year lease,which one expired the ground returned to leeds utd fc ownership,along with their thorpe arch training facility. If rumours are true leeds are planning to do it again as they are in the same situation as derby,villa and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALAN 58 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Looks like another loophole exposed. Eventually the EFL are going to say, Do what you want with your income and forget P and S, which i agree with, CLUBS SHOULD DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THERE MONEY, BUT KEEP THERE HOUSE IN ORDER, if it goes belly up don,t come running to us to bail you out. There are a lot of clubs out there who are living on the edge of the cliff, eventually one will go over and more will follow. This is only my opinion.

I can envisage things are going to drastically change in Sheffield over the next 12 months. UTO,WAWAW Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERVY-OWL Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 All for it if it sorts the FFP situation however I wouldn't want the club going back to spending silly if it gives us a surplus. Need to be clever with the money from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
