My calculation for Kargbo had him ‘scraping through’ by around 20 minutes playing time** Clearly this is well within the margin of error for me having messed up the maths!! ** it might even have been closer than that.

Representing themselves, what could possibly go wrong….

I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve found this reference for the cup replay vs West Ham in 1956. Could it’ve been that one? (obviously Frank would’ve been at a different school!):

I think I’m just going to hang out here for now: Stevie Wonder - Signed Sealed Delivered (I’m Yours)

If it doesn’t count, how do UK earnings ever count as a loss for an Indian resident?

Or we’ll submit the paperwork too late again.

No, I just added that bit for completeness.

I hadn’t even seen their comments, I was too busy burying my head in legal documents in response to your question 😀😄.

Residents of India pay tax on overseas income which seems to be why the law allows them to offset overseas losses too. There is a double taxation treaty between the UK and India which means they can deduct UK tax paid from the Indian tax they owe. I can’t see anything in this treaty which alters the Indian law in regard to offsetting losses.

I’ve taken a look at the relevant Indian tax law (I must get a better hobby 😄😄) and it would appear foreign losses can be offset against domestic profits.

Probably still waiting for Pasha to sign off the tribunal admin fee (£300).

26 isn’t it?

WBA could be this year’s ‘too good to go down’. One thing’s for sure, that label doesn’t fit us.

Even if money laundering had taken place I’m not sure selling the club would make this more likely to come to light.

I don’t understand how people can look at WBAs form and not include them in the equation.

WBAs form is as bad as ours, I wouldn’t be ruling them out yet. I doubt Leicester will end up in trouble but you never know where a bad managerial appointment might lead.

Some very rich people don’t like wasting any part of their wealth. The Raos might be wired differently but it’s not because of how much money they have.

I was thinking pen and paper, proper old school 😄

Has anyone tried writing an old fashioned letter directly to the owners?

Which would need to be worth at least the 100 million or the bank wouldn’t have let them use it as security.

Arsenal must have agreed (as per EFLs youth development rules).

There’s either a reason it suits them or they are very very stupid. I guess it could be both.

Possibly, I’ve no idea what sort of % a player would agree to having in his contract though.

Our annual wage bill at March 2025 was around £5 million more than it was in March 2017 so a reduction of £10 million would be needed to get to our last L1 wage levels. This is clearly possible, maybe even likely, given the apparent aims of Pasha etc - but last time this still lead to the £16 million pound losses I mentioned earlier. As you say, ‘savings’ would have to be made elsewhere, none of which would be anything other than detrimental to the club (and the team). Player sales may negate the need for some of these cuts but, other than Toth and Ryan, who could we realistic expect to get decent money for? However many cuts they make, they’ll still be losing money - the only way for them to stop this is to sell the club. One day I hope they’ll realise, and I hope it’s one day very very soon. Edited to add: Last time we went down match day income ‘only’ dropped by £500,000 - I suspect the drop would be far greater this time…

Surely a potential buyer with any sense would approach the owners directly.
