Sheff Wed - financial issues


The thing is football is broken, it’s pretty much not sustainable outside of the premier league but the big clubs won’t allow football to be fully regulated because it doesn’t suit the top lot. I mean if it were don’t think Chelsea would’ve gotten away with the creative stuff they e done the past few years 😂 selling the women’s side for £200m etc. it’s going one way and we will see many more burys in the future. However players have also brought it on themselves let’s be honest the biggest cost in football is player wages we’ve went from the top stars getting good wages to now bang average players making ten times the average fans weekly wage even at championship level. It can’t go on much longer and with the premier league trying to make it a closed shop I fear the pyramid as it is won’t be the same in 20 years.

After the second default, players can give notice to terminate their contract. Don’t know if any of them will but they could lose some valuable players if the salary isn’t paid.

If they are in a financial crisis any player worth money will be sold. There is no rest will sit tight on their contracts.
 
I really feel for their fans, it ms awful what's happened over the years and they've stuck by them despite such adversity.

They looked as though they turned a corner and with Rohl I expected them to improve last season but he was backed as hoped. I think their fans believed they had an outside chance at the start of the season, their confidence was boosted after battering Plymouth on the opening day but they crashed back down to earth when we slaughtered them at the SoL.
 
Will always like their fans for the way they were so gracious in defeat in league one play off semi. I know there was the disgusting Bradley incident but their own fans seemed to be as genuinely disgusted as us

We must have been very close back in the day.
Crazy to think how quickly the new owner has turned it around and we are financially stable

This is exactly why I’m a big fan of what they’ve done so far and how they’ve run the place. I hope promotion and extra revenue doesn’t mean we just start throwing money at it like we did under Short. Recipe for disaster if it goes wrong. It isn’t being unambitious, I am ambitious and want us to do as well as we can. I just want us to be run well and sensibly so we never find ourselves in that situation again. It was after all exactly what sent us to the third division and nobody wants that again surely.

Who is making decisions about fit and proper ownership?

Chansiri
Die Yongge
Bury FC's owner
Saudi Arabia

When are they going to be held to account over handing cultural institutions over to these people?

In the case of Saudi Arabia, it was the Prime Minister who intervened and told the premier league to push it through.....Saudis threatened to withdraw billions of pounds worth or contracts otherwise.

The thing is football isn’t sustainable outside the premier league. The drop off outside of it is so big it’s why we’ve had clubs like forest spending like they have to stay up. We won’t do that but we also won’t do it completely on the cheap imho. There has to be a balance but the clock is ticking on all those outside of the premier league. I mean we are run up there with one of the best clubs outside the premier league. We had a healthy wage bill far from the top and far from the bottom we recruit well etc etc and have one of the best academies out there yet we were still posting losses of what was the last £8m?. This from a club with a massive fan base, 40k or so average and being on tv a hell of a lot. If we are still losing such figures it just shows how unsustainable it is outside the top flight.
 
Clubs in freefall, I honestly wouldn'tbe surprised if we dropped to league 1 next year , and further the season after.
We have a manager who wants out, and his backroom staff who are out of contract next week, players haven't been paid ..again, and the EFL do sod all about the "Fit and proper persons" laws, even though our Chairman fails with this time after time.
The highest priced season tickets in the division go on sale at Christmas ..The money runs out before the season ends..Chansiri says its "Cashflow" problem...course it is...he's spent it..and theres nothing coming in now.
You got fans clinging on to rumours like sodding shipwrecked sailors...Latest one on Owlstalk?....Bloke in a pub got told by a barmaid we are getting taken over next week..Oh well thank f.ook for that I can stop worrying!
I can copewith disa;ppointment , its the sodding hope that drags yer heart out...I would take League 1 and 2 to get rid of this clown, whats another few years of being treated like twats?...we've had a quarter of a century standing for it.
Owls fans have had a few days celebrating what you lot did to United,,,,,Instead of focusing on what this idiot incumbent is doing to us....Its like dancing on the tracks with yer backs to the train coming...
