I'm getting excited by these comments. If we are eventually docked less than 12 points, as a championship side there will be a much greater chance of finding a buyer. I just hope that by then we wont have flogged off half our youth team. If we do remain in the championship, we will have to let our big earners go and bring our wage bill down in line with our income. To expect any new owner to continually plough £1m per month into the club to keep it afloat is totally unrealistic unless they have more money than sense.
Most of our big earners are out of contract. Marshall another but likely to leave but in Evans we have a great young replacement.
2.5m gone from Directors wages. We don't have to sell as many as people think to lower the wage bill as the wage through attrition is in line with the revenue if we stayed in The Championship. We need to sell now anyone though, to raise money to pay creditors, which means we can't get true valuations.
The frustrating thing is, we are owed more money from transfers than we owe out, but we owe the money before we are due to receive. We would also get 2.3m from the EFL from solidarity payments if we won the appeal and if we got new owners soon, they could potentially stop the first team being broken up.
Obviously that is the best case scenario and wishful thinking but if we did win the appeal and the takeover was agreed, we could keep pretty much our first team squad, sell Robinson but keep the rest and we'd be midtable with a handful of loanees to boost the numbers as The Championship would be very weak next season and many clubs getting deductions.
However, if the worst happened and we were in League One, then our entire first team squad would be ripped apart, these players are too good for League One and would soon get snapped up.
Just as things had finally come together with a strong, ever improving young Championship squad, with a top academy ready to chuck out lots of talent, set up for a Premier League promotion push within the next 2-3 years but now won't happen.
