FFS how can anyone say how much money we have in the bank or how long it will last.

The same way someone can say, "we need to raise £10+ million in the next three weeks."

Good point well argued Sir.

Well I believe the captain there will be no fire sale. All some want to do is think the worst.
Let’s seee what happens if/when the takeover takes place, we are in a good place playing wise.

Not at all.  Some of us don’t have our heads in the sand, thinking / wanting to believe,  everything is rosie in B71.

If players aren’t sold in Jan, some will be in the Summer.  A new owner won’t change that.

Exactly. A new owner may be able to pay the bills, but when your wage bill exceeds turnover you will make a loss. Continued losses and you will fail FFP. 

Other clubs will know this (it's publi information) and so they will have us over a barrel.

What happens now is nothing to do with the summer. A lot were saying there would be a fire sale in this window but I don’t think there will be. As for the summer things can change drastically if we go up, yes it’s a long shot, but some of you cannot wait to sell our players to say look I told you so. Never any optimism just negativity. I like to be optimistic and with hopefully new owners on board why not.
Bye the way I do know what will happen in the summer if we don’t go up, but a lot of you seem to want it to happen now.

So if there isn't enough cashflow to pay the ongoing bills then what ?

The latest loan gives us the cash to pay the wages, but it's completely unsustainable.

Talking of lights, did you notice how many floodlights were out yesterday? We haven't spent a penny in maintaining the ground in years.

Exactly....pot to piss in

There is work to do for sure but that’s a fairly sizeable exaggeration

Must admit all the floodlights seemed to be OK vs Aldershot...

Which club in the championship has a wage bill that's less than turnover ?
I can't name a single one (excluding parachute payments)

[CaptainFantastico]

If anything I’d say the new regs matched with this new owner will put us in a strong position compared to most clubs. The biggest challenge as ever will be finding a way to stay up when we get up

[ColliersWoodBaggie]

People are forgetting that this isn't even legislated for yet (Wages v Turnover, although it will be likely).
