Maybe, but with losses of many £m, a cut in income of what £10m and Thohir's family allegedly a bit fed up with funding such losses, not sure the choice to keep the same cost base would be that easy....

You simply aren't going to EFL rules or not to comply with. The stadium is the only asset as it were to be worth cashing in on as I see it. You could say that the losses are loose change when you are billionaires-it's whether the whole thing makes business/profile,/kudos sense.

If Erick has between, more than 25% of the shares but less than 50% then who has rest currently?

 

[greatunclekip]

Lower levels too, only those redundancies aren't publicly announced

All is fine and Erick is still absolutely committed.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

He is still paying the wages and running costs every month plus putting a bit extra in each month so I’d say, yes he is still committed.

 

[uptheus]

I guess that with the huge reduction in Championship revenues and the huge losses, redundancies and cost cutting was inevitable
Real shame for those affected.

But were these already in position when we were previously in League One

I read somewhere ( on here?) that there had been a large increase in staff
Not sure how true it is, but if that is true, then I guess not.

In our most recent accounts we employed more people than West Brom, whose turnover was 66% higher than ours. But we also employed more than West Brom when we were in L1. When their turnover was 233% higher than ours.

Really? I always get the impression that we’re quite lightly staffed, hence the various fuckups with merch, ticketing, and accounts, not to mention our patchy performance in the transfer market.

Employee numbers are in accounts. I remember seeing that we got promoted with a similar number of staff to Derby, which seemed mad to me at the time.

Don't conflate the number of employees with their competency.

Yeah but I think most of those were in the playing squad.

I was surprised that we only had to count the right backs

11,475,369,822.


(The number of seasons it would take Karl Robinson to sign the number of right backs we had last season)

If a change of owner is in the making, I can’t see this being officially done until the 7 day deadline for FoSB runs out.

Anything in particular made you think there might be, or just the lack of communication from the club.

There’s been lots of speculation. Mainly due to the embargo, could of course be nothing in it.

That's the pitch, goal posts, and ball AFC Oxford will be using after the endless appeals force United out of existence.

It’s just the modern day version of the old premium rate club call phone line, chuck a hint out there and a lot of the time it’s just stuff that’s common knowledge.

It’ll probably be Ciaron Brown related I imagine. Something about Championship clubs keeping tabs for January with no named sources. Times is hard for ‘journos’ during the international break.
