The order is yet to be published so we don’t know what (if anything) happened but it’s listed to be in court again on Wednesday.

Maybe you’re right but I don’t think a selling club should be operating like that. Surely it’s in their interest to maximise the price they get.

That only works if the selling club doesnt want others to know the player is available. Why wouldn’t they want to drum up interest to increase the price?

They could choose to write it off. They could try to get it back. They could sell Rovers but retain ownership of Venkys London (with the debt remaining owing)* There’s probably further options too. * I’d be amazed if anyone agreed to buy the club under this circumstance. I think we’ve veered well off topic! 😁

Yes, owed by the club. These loans are always repayable within a year but the Venkys are yet to ever call them in. Of course someone owing you money and you getting that money back from them are two entirely different things.

I think that’s probably based on the assumption they’d want all their money back. As of March ‘24 this was £220.1 million - £86.1 invested (I use that term loosely) in shares and £134 million advanced (ie loans).

Yes - the good news is I very much enjoyed my extra sleep 😁😁

As of June ‘24 the club owed Venkys London £134 million.

Waiting for the order to be published to see what, if anything, happened.

If only 😁 You can watch the court cases over the internet - he’s definitely sat there as grumpy as ever 😁😁.

I wasn’t awake early enough to know what/if anything happened but the judge is definitely there this time.

Will be 2nd case to be heard tomorrow (if judge turns up…)

That’s something which annoys me, a ref not playing injury time because a team is getting a pasting.

5-0 before half time 😁😁😁😁😁

If this was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it.

Goal down man down 😁😁

I’m just unsure as to how likely it is that the best Derby could find for those positions would all come from any single club.

I wonder if Eustace even considered going for other players rather than just picking them up from us. I appreciate the ‘he knows them’ point but it just smacks of laziness to me.

His ego far exceeds his achievements.

Thanks, McLaughlin doesn’t count (but not because he is Irish)

Thanks - I’ve looked at the wording for both the PL and EFL regs and there is a difference: PL states a maximum of 17 non home grown players. EFL states a minimum of 8 home grown players.

Yes, I just worked out where the confusion had arisen from. I’ve asked @KentExile to clarify re the reduced squad size rule but perhaps you know where this is from too?

I’m not aware of the reduction in squad list rule if you can’t name 8 home grown players. Perhaps @KentExile can clarify where they’ve seen this.
