Magic Monkey 4,657 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 5 hours ago, Magic Monkey said: Basher would be all over that. 1 hour ago, Dickson said: Its happening already. A few clubs have been setting up competitions. I was sent one last night from Leyton Orient trying to get a tournament sorted with 62 fans from different clubs. If there is to be some sort of lock down it could be a great way to create a social element through the club support. I'm shite at Fifa but Id be up for playing I fear my Barry Lavety/e-sports mini joke-ette has been overlooked here. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yflab 4,530 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Just now, Dickson said: I don't know although I presume it certainly could. My understanding is that the club is debt free but I've no idea what kind of cash reserves they've got. What does seem obvious is that the chairman doesn't have lots of money to put into the business and he has been trying to sell the club for a few months now. This crisis is likely to see a number of clubs struggle. It will be sad to see, but the writing has been on the wall for many years. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antrin 4,804 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Barcabhoy (a poster on Celtic forums and TSF The Scottish Football Forum) produced the above table a while ago. It is a wee bit out of date now (December) and Motherwell, for instance, are more solid with some player sales made. Sevco just needs that £30m for Morelos and it'll be ok, too.

Barca knows his stuff. ps wrt sevco - King removed them from any place that demanded a reporting of accounts or freedom of info. And it has not got a line of credit from any bank. Plus King has been given the Cold Shoulder by the City of London. There have been Erratic statements about financial situations, in the Big Hoose. Lots of smoke and mirrors - though apparently there are now a couple of Asian investors with a spare £10m each to offer. These are certainly interesting times.

I think we'll have seen the last of the ridiculously inflated TV deals, too. Corona is going to be a huge watershed moment, for football and for society. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
