The price is £1 roy. How much lower can it go?
The stadium and Christopher Park are two totally different companies. The assets of the football club are the players. They have valued it at £1. What price do you suggest?
The club is worth £1. I don’t see how the sale of players affects that, other than reducing the debts.
It’s 500k for the training ground and £3m for the stadium. Again, not sure how the sale of players lowers those fees.
The fact the Americans don’t seem willing to pay it does worry me as to how serious they are.
Is Leam Richardson leaving then or is Sheridan coming in to help him out? If Leam is off then maybe Cookie has a job somewhere??
Sorry couldn’t vote because “we’re fucked” wasn’t an option.
Ask and you shall receive
I don’t know if anybody else is like me, but I’m very reticent to put any money in the club at the moment because I genuinely don’t know where it goes.
No way am I lining the pockets of the hatchet men, but at the same time I’m desperate to help the club out. I’ve donated more than I really should have to the supporters club appeals, but I want to be able to give money directly to WAFC and I’m really not convinced that I can.
You’re right otter, it’s a tough one. The club needs money though that is for definite.
From my understanding of things, the admins get paid at the end and will be taking any monies that would normally have gone to Au Yeung. Where that comes from though I’m not sure.
Matches will be available to stream I believe. If that’s the case then people need to buy the stream rather than use “other methods” or not watch at all.
I’d need to clarify but I’m under the impression that the club gets at least 75% of the income for a home game.
Yeah gotta tip your hat off to the guy. He obviously looks back at his career and see’s that he wouldn’t have played for big clubs without been given a chance to showcase his talents.
Were’s all the rest of them ? Come on chaps even a few hundred quid would be nice. The amount of players we’ve gone through is staggeringSome of them owe us massively. Think of the wages we must have thrown away on the likes of Marlon King, Julius Agahowa, Conor Sammon (maybe he gets let off for that goal to help keep us up), Solomon Olembe, Albert Crusat, Grant Holt just to name a few.
The issue we have as I’ve said before is that we have no income at the current moment. The Covid issue has helped to royally screw us over.
We need to find money on a monthly basis to pay the players wages. How do we do that with no ticket sales, matchday income etc?
We also have (or had) a squad of players that didn’t want to be here. They are Championship players who have been forced to play in League One on a fraction of their wage.
If players don’t want to be here then we can no longer afford to keep them here we have to get shut. A) it reduces the wage bill B) it brings in the monies needed to pay the wage bill.
The fees we have got for players have been shocking, but again we are not in the position to hold out for what we feel is the value of that player. In most cases we have owed money to other clubs for that player and their wage is a cost we need to clear. Clubs know all this. They know that we need £X to pay the debt on that player and they know we need £X to pay the wages. Why would they offer any higher than that? If the admins tell them to f*** off then the player leaves for free a few weeks later when we fail to pay his wage.
Yes the admins said we had the money to get through September, but what happens in October? Once the transfer window shuts our one and only income stream dies and we’re finished.
It’s a heartbreaking situation but it’s the reality of where we are. We are a club with no money in the bank and no money coming into the bank.
Don’t see why we are appointing a manager when we’re struggling to even get a team out. Strange move.
Raising funds to help pay bills and to try and stabilise the club is all a big help.
What is a protest going to do?
As Stu says, it isn’t going to make them sell is it so what are you wanting to actually achieve from it?
I would rather we play at Leigh than end up with a phoenix club. No interest in supporting a new club.
It has made me laugh though that all the abuse aimed at rugby fans when we played at Leigh about it being in the same borough, being 2 minutes away, fattys won’t travel on 2 bus journeys etc has now changed to it’s a different town, miles away, no public transport routes.
I don’t care if you buy it or not, it’s true. You can’t pay bills without an income. They had one, we don’t.
Their income will have paid wages allowing the admins to sell things off to cover the debts.
We have to sell things to cover the debts AND pay the bills.
Max your credit card out today and then quit your job. See how you go on buying food, paying bills as well as trying to meet minimum payments on your card.
Until we either find a buyer or start to get an income from ticket sales we will be selling players and anything else not nailed down.
