Do you think Cattermole's wage reduction in his contract was just for one relegation, or will it happen again if they go down again  :lol:

 

Cant see it happening again really it was supposedly a 40% reduction from last season even if its 20% that then means hes had a 60% wage cut in 12 months no matter how much you earn losing 60% of it is huge

The relegation pay cuts all depend on how it's worded in the contracts.

 

My guess is that when a Premier League club negotiates a contract to sign a player, the contract says "We'll pay you XXXX when the club is in the Premier League, but it reduces to XX in the event of relegation to the Championship".  No mention of the possibility of playing in League 1.

 

I cannot see any player signing for a Premier League club willing to to even consider agreeing to contractually defined wages to play in League 1.  They would be moving on to the next option of club immediately.

 

So I doubt very much that there is a blanket reduction of XX% for each relegation.  The only way to get rid of these Contract in league 1 is if the player requests to be sold rather than stay with the club as they drop down into league 1.

None whatseoever. I'm just going to post some real numbers for about the third time this week. These are got at by adding together all the numbers in the accounts for the last ten years.

 

Turnover: £766..5m

Staff costs: £577.2m

Other operating costs: £192.1m

Interest: £34.9m

Cash outflow on players bought £309.m

Cash inflow from players sold: £125.8m

 

Debt on 1 August 2006 £35m

Debt at 31 July 2017 £137m

Debt converted to shares during that time £101m

 

The one thing that hasn't happened is Short getting anything back. It's all gone, pretty much to players, their agents, and other football clubs.

Except Leeds had a few good seasons and a run to the CL semis and Pompey managed to win the Cup..

 

All the Mackems got were annual relegation battles and 6 in a row [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

They can avoid administration as long as it suits the current owner but you have to wonder if it would be the best thing for their fans?  Death by a thousand cuts with Short or just crash and burn?

Of course there's no guarantee that things wouldn't get even worse post administration but at least they could try and start again.

A very big loan from another creditor over a long period

They just pay back part of it and re-finance (most likely at a worse rate) the rest. Whilst the future seems pretty bleak unless they get taken over, there should be very little chance of administration whilst Short continues to be the owner. They'll most likely continue to limp along, cost-cutting and scrimping by.

However doesn't Administration effectively mean that the entity no longer exists and they will be a 'new' entity.  So the 6 in a row will be forever protected as the club no longer exists in it's former state.

 

That would actually appeal to a lot of them  :lol:

Basically, someone will buy them for nowt (or next to nowt) and pay off the debt.

 

Still going to have to cough up around £130m to "pay off the debt" though. They'll do well to find someone prepared to pay that for them in their current state.

Aye but that in effect becomes the price of the club. As much as it pains me to say it, if a new owner could make some sensible decisions and get them back in the premiership, they would be easily worth that.

 

Any new owner might as well wait until the club has got all the high earning knacker off the books though. They must be crippling the wage bill.

Highly unlikely anyone will pay that much for a League One club, regardless of the potential. A Championship club? Possibly.

 

Potential? Their potential is fake. Their paying core of fans isn't what they billed and is now being shown up once Premiership football and free tickets has ended. There's even those who've paid and aren't turning up. This isn't a club with potential. It's a club which tried to keep up with the jones', overspent in the wrong areas, pretended to be bigger than what they are and are now suffering the consequences.

 

No one cares about the club outside of the North East. No one wants to play for them and the fans can't or won't put money in to it via tickets or merchandise. There isn't potential there to make money, there are much bigger clubs in the division in better financial positions who would cost less than their debt. Those are the real sleeping giants.

This is why I don't really get their hatred and blame of Short for their footballing position.

 

Pretty much all of his managerial appointments have been initially popular with their support, he supported those managers with significant transfer funds (until it was completely unsustainable to do so) and when their support turned against each one of those initially popular appointments they were swiftly replaced.

 

The mess has been created by Short giving them what they called for.

I do he has made terrible decisions year after year.  The only difference between Ashley and him is that no investment is better than terrible investment
