I never get why people get so hormonal over this and whether people are ITK.

Reiver clearly has a contact who isn’t involved but has close links to one of the buyers, he’s named them ffs. This doesn’t mean that he knows everything and is facilitating the deal. He’s passed on the little bits of info he’s received a which is fair enough, but I don’t get why people push him for more info then when he offers his opinion get angry at him for it.

We all want it to happen ASAP but Haway man, there’s no need to get all hysterical.
Depending on how many groups below they fall into, that is their score on the Reiver scale
  1. Had a run in with Reiver in the past
  2. Troll
  3. Mag
  4. WUM
  5. Sad fuck
  6. Pessimistic twat
  7. Doom monger
  8. Haven't got a lass
  9. Got no real life friends
  10. Lives at home with Mam

I thought FFP stopped directors putting money into the club via a "loan" but if they just invested the capital directly as a "gift" then that was acceptable?

That's the case in league one, but not in the championship. Mind I asked grumpy old man about it earlier in the thread and he said it wasn't as simple as simply being able to bang loads of money in now. I was hoping they could gift us loads now and spend it when we go up, but seemingly not, I'll try and dig out his reply on it!

Here it is mate Takeover Rumour

So aye, my understanding from that is that they could probably gift us a fuck load now, but if we went out and brought a load of good championship players here in January (they'd come if the wages were high enough) the issue would be that we then end up in the championship where FFP limits the losses a club can make. If these new players made us loss making and we didn't go straight up we could be in trouble

Cheers.

Crazy how the rules change between leagues when clubs move between them frequently - I understand that Derby employed Rooney as a player coach as FFP only applies to playing staff and not coaching staff - so 90% of his salary is payed as a coach so only a "small" amount is added to their playing staff wage bill

Well I'm happy I hit nen of them

But possibly a couple for replying to this.

:)
 
Christ this just needs announcing, thread is hideous.

It used to be class, but the Friday delay meant that things rapidly fell apart - which was predictable, and people were even warning that it would happen beforehand. However im still in hope that when it does get announced things will pick up again.
