Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

[oddbod]

Looks like it.

Might be happening but we may be underwhelmed by its quality!

 

[Grimes]

Did @Jack tell you

Nope but been told something being announced on there.

 

[wigwams]

and then followed with

Yeah I had no idea what was happening yesterday. Today however I have my fingers crossed

Fair enough mate. Only had a quick scan

What happened, with regards to the rumours, that KLD was looking to purchase a French club?

River plate (the smaller named version) and an as yet unamed French lower league outfit

 

[Grimes]

By a twitt?

Watch this space.

 

[SAFC11]

You would think the "takeover" would be announced before the manager

Lots of things gets announced on Twitter, are you gonna stay vague or give us a clue.

 

[Jambezz]

Watch this space.

You'd think it would be announced on the website and then the club's Twitter account would share it via Twitter then? Rather than anything Twitter specific?

Haway Grimesy man.

Has all the hallmarks of a pr genius ...sacking a 25 year plus loyal servant then announcing a pe teacher as club manager ... Some of Charlie's best work .chemical Ali has nowt on him....... I'm hoping for the best with this takeover but the runes are pointing towards uninspiring locusts!

 

[TeamOfTalents]

I hope so where is Mr Prehab today by the way ?

Probably has a life

@Grumpy Old Man regarding the wage cap....am I right in thinking that transfer fees dont come into it, say we do get a 25 yr old Premier league player to come on loan and his wages are £30,000 week. We loan for a year and negotiate with the loaning club that we will pay his 1 year wages (£1.56 mill) in a loan fee, but his wages are really on their books....could that work?

 

[gards2]

Dragging on a bit...

"proof of funds" was one of the stipulations required in a take-over. How the fuck did SD pass that? The fucker used the PP money to pay off ES!

So the EFL can get fucked!

That would not be allowed. Anything that ends up on a PAYE wage slip and subject to tax is included. If the loan fee goes to the player or the agent it is wages.

Im saying the loan fee is purely between the 2 clubs, the players weekly/monthly salary is nowhere near it?

Purely on the loaning clubs books

OK I will allow Grumpy to answer but intuitively I doubt any obvious attempt to circumvent the rules is permissible.

Rules are there for the protection and preservation of all.

Yes.

Loan fees paid aren't included in the cap, as the loaning club is paying the wages.

And I've just seen a winged Gloucester Old spot at an altitude of 300 feet from my study window.
