It may not be called financial fair play but regulations regarding what you can spend in this league relative to income still exists

The rules for League One clearly state that any ‘investment’ will be classed as ‘turnover’.

In essence, an owner can bankroll a team out of League One. The issue comes when that drops into your 3 year cycle if you remain in the Championship.
 
I'm thinking the new owners or investors have had a hand in the managerial situation.They will only give out a contract till the end of the year and if you get us promoted then come back to see us for another deal potentially.

Just a thought .

Ooh, I like that thinking. Bit of positivity
 
How would you feel about the appointment if
They brought in Phillips to work with him

Don't think it will happen mind think Parkinson has team he normally works with
 
I don't think MSD had anything to do with Parkinson. It isn't logical, they're either interested now - in which case the price is as low as it will ever get, and promotion achievable with a relatively small investment - or they're not interested. I can't see how someone else achieving promotion and driving the potential price up exponentially would make sense, even if they could bin the manager off.

If Donald wants to retain a say in football matters then we may as well accept that such a deal would be extremely unusual. Sure, you get Quinn-style situations where people get kept around for goodwill or as an employee, but to let Donald retain shares and - more importantly - to have him able to influence direction would make a takeover completely redundant. He either keeps some shares and a seat on the board proportionate to that, or he is an employee at their disposal. Either way, you don't get to have a significant say if you sell a majority stake, it's just that simple.

It makes perfect sense that an owner is kept on during the transition period of any takeover .Friend of mine had to stay on when he was bought out by a multi national company for 5 years ,I'd say this and many other situations would be very similar .

I would be expected to do the same (work for them) if I sold my whole company, but it's under the terms of the new owners, not a demand you can make at this point when he hasn't proved he can get to a higher position than when he started. A football club is not the same as investing in a proprietary business, where often the CEO/staff are what makes it successful to some degree and very little expertise of how to run it can come from the external market.

I don't think many people would consider Donald intrinsic to the future success of the club if MSD came on board, and he has no experience of spending substantial money.
 
Recall when reid unveiled Phil babb.
How to turn what you thought was a party to a funeral.
Parkinson has all the same hallmarks sadly

No experience of spending his own money that is
