Brum in trouble 19:40 - Mar 31 with 1590 views | toboboly | What could possibly go wrong here? https://mobile.twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1377296791843012608 "Birmingham City owners sell the stadium for £10.8m to company in British Virgin Islands and rent it back for 12 years at £1.25m per year. " Doesn't seem very much. [Post edited 31 Mar 2021 19:41]

Brum in trouble on 10:19 - Apr 1 with 1155 views | Ashdown_Ranger | With a base rate of 0.1%, that's a very high interest rate - a £10.8m loan, paying back £15m over 12 years! Suspect a few backhanders in the form of 'arrangement fees' getting paid along the way... | | | |
Brum in trouble on 10:38 - Apr 1 with 1102 views | Konk | This is happening increasingly. Not sure how you could enforce it, but there ought to be a rule that clubs can’t play in the league unless they own their own ground or rent it from a local authority. Can see a few clubs owners cutting their losses a few years down the line, and just building on a club’s stadium as with Archer at Brighton, and various non-league clubs. On the valuation front - should have gone to the same estate agents as Derby. EDIT: The law of unintended consequences. FFP was ostensibly introduced to stop clubs overspending and putting their existence at risk, but we’re now seeing a situation where a clubs biggest, and often only real asset - its ground - is increasingly being taken out of club ownership to mitigate FFP overspends. What a mess. [Post edited 1 Apr 2021 10:45]

Agreed. I know some rules are popular and some aren't - do we give Liverpool and Man Utd one dodgy penalty per game or two, for example - but surely we can all agree on a rule that grounds can't be sold independently. | |
