PieFacE Posted July 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2018 Fact is, it doesn't really change a lot. We're still crippled financially being in line with FFP. Might be able to pay the tax bills though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xia staying in charge means one of those things is inevitable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The whole Egypt / Middle East thing had me really doubting it as I thought Egypt was traditionally referred to as African. It turns out you can reasonably say either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Capital injection HAS to be NOT REPAYABLE but that is the nature of a takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 UEFA's FFP rules allow for new owners and investors to break the rules on investment if they submit a business case showing how the money they put into the club won't just be thrown away - its called a voluntary agreement. I wonder could the new owners do something similar with the championship.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would get rid of a word removed owner plus maybe Bruce given his P45. That in my book is massive change for the good. Concerning FFP. What is the worst that could happen. A fine which would be paid or docked points which if certain players are retained wouldn’t mean relegation.
