    One of the conditions if clubs take their share of it then yes, they can't sign players.

    It’s in 3 parts. We get £375k regardless. We also get a share of £15m based on gate receipts. These payments come with no penalties. There is then the option to apply for a grant this is the bit that comes with a transfer embargo

    Ahh right. Thats not as bad then. If we take that grant its safe to say no takeover is happening

    I really don't think Donald would want to take a relatively small payment and continue losing a million a month also without being able to sign anyone in January.

    Probably There is the option to lift the embargo by paying the grant back but can’t see a deal going through with that hanging over it. But you never know depend on how the deal is structured Taking it would help SDs current cash flow in that he wouldn’t have to fork out his own money if it’s dragging on. They may agree to this and factor it into the takeover deal. Pretty unlikely though

    Aye he's not insane. Imagine not being massively wealthy and losing that much every month, I'd be waking up in a cold sweat every night.

    Sounds like we can get a share of the pie without it having any effect on the takeover.

    I'm reading this one of two ways - Stew is making sure he grabs the free money for himself, or he's taking the EFL grant which will seriously affect the club's chances of promotion.

    Either way he's a revolting money-grubbing goblin of a man.

    I’ve thought long and hard about posting this because I didn’t want to be seen as having a bite.

    As someone else said, it’s military humour. The fact that I’ve served in the armed forces gives me and others that have served that sense of humour. And honestly, unless you’ve served in the armed forces you really wouldn’t understand it. Call it a coping mechanism.

    I can’t see how in any way I have belittled your dad or of what he was or what he did. I said it earlier that he was clearly a very brave man along with all the others.

    Not that I knew him but I’ll bet a years wages he would’ve taken my comments in the humour that it obviously is.

    But I agree with you on your last comment. FTM and Merry Christmas.

    If we take cash that means we can't make any transfers I vote for chipping in a few quid to get a lorry load of horse **** delivered to Don's house.

    Well it means they have no money
    That’s why they took it
    You carnt buy players with given money
    I think that’s how it will work

    Not really. Clubs can't plead poverty and administration then go out and spend 500k in January.

    We should definitely not take the extra and get busy in January if you ask me but it not my money and I'm not the ones losing a million a month.

    I completely agree with you. Apart from a bit of smoke and mirrors from Rodwell regarding the recent appointments, his comments confirm most of what you @Smug in Boots @Magnus and @Wheatsheaf (apologies if I have missed anyone) have been saying. Reading between the lines, Rodwell is saying that the deal is nigh on done and we just need to be patient.
