But maybe this totally screws the long contract dodge, meaning transfer fees are paid over a shorter period, maybe reducing squad sizes/strength and maybe football becomes more competitive.

Article 17 gives players the right to give 15 days notice to terminate their contract after 3 years at a club irrespective of how long g is left on it. Isak is 2 years into a 6 year contract he happily signed, but having been tapped up by Liverpool has spit the dummy out and us refusing to play for Newcastle.

Could the recent court decision on article 17 and Isak's behaviour ultimately be a good thing for the rest of the football pyramid. You look a significant number of big clubs signing players on 5,6 7 year contracts to enable them to spread the purchase cost over a longer period, which you would assume allows them to buy more players. Is this a practise that is now going to be consigned to the bin. Is there any point on signing a player on a contract longer than 3 years when realistically you may have to sell him after 2 or risk losing him for a fraction of his value. Could this bring fees down and push wages up maybe.

I think the probability is, granted you never know with Dipshit given he's taken incompetence to a new level, that hr will be announcing a sale or preferred bidder before November. I base this on his inability to provide the proof of funds to pay wages that would allow the club to sign players. If he could surely get would, it's in his interests to have us vaguely competitive. And if he can't satisfy the EFL on funding then he's not going to satisfy the regulator. That being the case trustees will be appointed to act in the club's best interests, Dipshit loses all control of the sale process, they don't need to get him the best price, rather the best outcome for the club

I think it's more likely the imminent threat of the regulator taking it of their idiot owner and them setting the price for the club. Hopefully by sometime in November one way or another dipshit won't be in control at Hillsborough

Good to see that it looks like Morecambe have been sold. Maybe the threat of the regulator made the ******** that owned them see the light.

Isn't that a greasy chip butties on their shoulders

What we possibly need is a journalist contacting them and posing the question, Dipshit Chansiri's business venture in the UK is in clear financial distress, namely Sheffield Wednesday, are his business interests in Thailand in the same condition. And given that his family control TUF is that company also struggling given there appears to be no attempt to help son/brther from that quarter

I think if we can we need to approach the FSA/ other supporters groups nationwide. We need to hit John West and other TUF brand sales.that affects their bottom line and possibly dividends.

No, but I would spend a considerable amount to gave the toads family tortured like he's torturing ours now.

Don't think so

I'm not fan of the royal family. But you're just a ********

I think that possibly the regulator may be our most realistic hope of escaping our current situation. But we have to survive till maybe October/November for that to happen. I get the impression that they will have the powers to stop him deliberately trashing the club. And put trustees in place . If he can't trash it and the club can survive at some level on, then he just might sell

I wonder if the club are complying with all the data protection and human rights implications of facial recognition cameras
