Directors A & B form Limited Company C and as a result of the company needing capital to commence trading and the directors having the capital in their own names, they lend the company £100k. This is then shown as a creditor in the accounts. The company begins to trade and after 5 years, builds up some capital in the business and has £50k in the bank. This can then be used to repay the directors who can then receive the money free of any tax liability, as it is the return by the company of part of the loan, they made. The accounts will then show the £100k reduced to £50k to be repaid at a later date when the company has the funds and the directors decide to repay it.

Now the Chicken Chokers have apparently figured that one out they’ll see to it that we’ll be out of it.

I agree. Problem with the strategy is that it changes. We originally didn't sign Bath because we decided he was too old and we cocked up the paperwork. Then we sign a bunch of revived 45s to provide a solid foundation under Eustace. Now we are back to developing youngsters with the new manager. This is not a project or a strategy. This is the equivalent of trying to make the quarterly results look good for the shareholders. In this case, one shareholder. It does appear that JDT and now Ismael are youth focused. Bottom line if it doesn't work and we are looking like the drop, both he and the model will be for the chop. Ironically Brentford have had to adjust their model with Keith at the helm by signing Henderson to steady the ship. What goes around comes around

Adam Forshaw being the exception!

Tina Britt - The Real Thing

I dont really get your comments financially. Even if you spent a reasonable amount in the Prem but that season would still be far better financially than treading water in the Championship. In League 1, the wage bill would drop considerably and that is by far our biggest expense so that would outweigh the reduction in income. The Championship is possibly the worst league to be in financially.

Without millions in yearly regular outside money or multi million quid sales every 6 months our budget was already league 1. As would many others in this league be without similar so we were already dancing on thin ice and the aim here always needs to be build up and aim to punch above our budget, it nearly always has been. Now though its become shrink to size.

Tbh I don’t know but would make sense if you had to. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of this than me can confirm.

I bet the agents have come out of this best.

He'd also require compo if we signed him, no idea on the level it would take but I think we can forget it.

brentford had the same strategy,it worked for them because they had intelligent,commited personel working for them who do we have working for us a budget slashing ****,a naive fomer player who is an arselicker,3 scouts who don`t appear to have a budget and finally our esteemed owners,who have ruined the club and hav`nt got a clue or interest in the game,what could go wrong with the new strategy

Be interesting to see the agent fees for these 3 cheap foreign signings, we have been here before...

He's currently under investigation for doping. Been suspended since December. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgmwg1w9130o

The Transition he speaks of is 100% planned and falls in line with the cost cutting that has been gradually going on for years it hasn't just sprung onto them because someone won't sign a contract. That is why he is here, it's why Gestede has appeared from nowhere and why Waggot has been retired earlier than he was clinging on for. When you want to transition the playing squad it doesn't mean the whole club has to follow but it is. I'd just like to know which agency is involved this time as chief adviser and commission taker.

I'd look at the Commercial side of the club if I was interested in addressing that income to wages ratio. Embarrassing sponsors, embarrassing season ticket sales.

We've been saying that's the strategy for years, yet here we are letting talent walk for free constantly.

To be honest - as a strategy, it isn't the worst (i.e. sell on the high, buy cheaper foreign imports and promote from academy), at some point we have to address our income to wages ratio. The only issue is the people in charge of the strategy considerably lessens it's chances of success.

Yes his name popped up last year. Dm/Rb plenty of assists in u21s football. Arsenal didn’t offer him enough. Doubt we could either. Would be a decent move

Absolutely fed up of the journey, transitional phase we're seemingly constantly in. The LT shouldn't even entertain it.

Transitioning to L1

"At the end of last season, Ismael insisted this summer would not be a huge overhaul for the squad." 😄 Lost two right backs, sign one, job done. Typical Pasha budget slasha.

Michal Rosiak released by Arsenal. Weren't we after loaning him last year?

Looks like we have a cunning plan.

We all know what happens to “ very,very fast “ players at Rovers. See Harry Chapman and Kargbo. They spend plenty of time in the treatment room.
