In what is a “normal” day for now Sheffield WednesdayAn employee was asked how they were doing by a fan, only to burst into tears. They Don’t know if they are going to payOr what is the future, Clive Bet’s MP for controversial controversial owner Dzfon Chancery in Parliament on Tuesday.
many Morcainbe The fans felt like crying like this when the news came on Monday that the club sales from Jason Whitingham’s Bond Group have not yet been completed to Punjab Warriors. Despite the emphasis on the sources, everything for sale was to move forward, and its delay had to find “inexplicable”. Local MP Lizzie Calling publicly told Whitingam, “Come, signed the paperwork,” in Parliament! ” Three years later where have left Morekambay League forest till National league And, potentially, oblivion.
The stories of Wednesdays and Morekamb tell their own, but there are striking similarities, which are now more indicated, as they come from different ends of a football pyramid that is finally about seeing an independent regulator.
Voting was done through football regime bill House of Commons On Tuesday, which means that now we know what it will look for for the future. Wednesday’s fans and Morekambay cannot say the same about their clubs, and the concern is that it is too late.
The spirit of “helplessness” stands out. “We actually support the Football Governance Bill,” says Tarnia Elsworth of the group of fans of Shrimps Trust, “but my fear is Morekambay and going to the last suffering on Wednesday.
“We fans come to us, ‘This is my club that I have loved for 30 years, and you are saying that I can’t do anything about it?”
Sheffield Wednesday’s supporters Trust’s Ian Bennett says they have “left in Limbo”. His colleague James Silverwood has warned that “the implication of the story is for the entire English football on Wednesday”.
Geoff Walters, an Morekambay fan, who is also a professor in sports business at Liverpool University, argues that “it reduces the need for a strong regulator”.
So many details are familiar, finally, going back through, Reading And for the landmark moment of Derby County Bari’s death. This is about who is the race for club, governance and a ruins wages.
One of the great tragedies is that the size of the crowd shows that the game is being concluded at a level, and yet the entire season can still be distorted by clubs entering financial waste. Even in Morekambay, the National League has sold a record season tickets for the first season, on the promise that whiting will run. Instead, fans can lose their clubs with hundreds of pounds, if the worst.
The game should be self -sufficient, but not. Wednesday and morecambe can be easily sold, but they are not. Both clubs have many interested buyers. Chancery is said to be in search of “fully unrealistic prices”.
Wednesday’s story is currently more striking due to their historical stature, and the fact is that these issues are high as high as high Championship, EFL Warned for four years that parachute payment will lead to wages race. Other supported by the research of the trust of supporters, it feels that it is specially below for “a owner who has gone out of money”.
This is despite the Chancery’s profile as a member of the Thai family that controls the world’s largest canned Tuna, the biggest producer of the Thai Union Group, Bates questioned why the money is no longer available.
Players and employees were not paid on time in May and June, with it outstanding money for other clubs and HMRC was leading to two EFL transfer embarrago. Meanwhile, the requirement of at least £ 6m for the reforms required for Hillsboro is understood, which may not yet be passed to unknown new ownership if the Chancery Stadium cannot pay the loan. If the players have to be paid, improvement may be impossible, but many are expected to run as free agents when they are not paid for July.
“We can start the season with no player and three-way grounds,” Bennett says. Some sources also fears that basic utilities may be cut off. Bennett complained that communication had been minimal or just “disdainful”. Barely with any pre-seasons plans, it can reach the point where it is to show on Wednesday that they can complete the season.
Like Hillsboro, the most immediate issue of Morekambay is funding. A club that was previously a “good small business” has started harming. Future buyers have also laid the Punjab warriors for more than £ 6m.
An irony is that some supporters initially credited Whitingham with the appointment of a competent board, only for the time when they initiated action to dismiss all of them with their intentions to keep the club in administration. The board has since been resigned twice a week after a delay in sales.
“We are powerless,” Elsworth says, between another common complaint in English football: owner disruptions. The meetings have not taken anywhere.
Fans do not even know that the price was desired. More significantly, Whitinghem could get a better price when it was in the league forest in 2022-23, now it is now decreasing every day for the price.
A primary question raised by Bates, which is why the current system cannot take the retruster when the problems cannot be taken out to remove ownership after the problems are clear. The National League is warned that their possible restrictions will punish Morekambay instead of the owner. EFL is trying to avoid punishing on Wednesday as much as they can.
Supporters have told how Dai Yongge was eventually disqualified by EFL as a owner of studying by EFLBut it is understood that was enabled by commercial matters in China.
Non-Paye is not a high limit. This is not even without risk, as the next step is the expulsion of the club. A major source argues, “You think that resources should not be a concern for the constant club.”
When all this is not sold, the current system leaves clubs with three scenarios. There is a more lender, and both are somehow firm. Two are going into administration, which will bring a point cut, but where buyers will get opportunities. There are three liquidity, and potential Phoenix clubs.
Bennett admitted that Wednesday’s fans have considered that final option, but are expected to sell possible sales through administration. Elsworth fears that Morekamb will not return, as a fan owned club will struggle to survive.
“This is not Wimbledon. The west end of Morekamb is one of the most deprived areas of the country. A community is being destroyed.”
The feeling of powerlessness is clear.
“The players are not being paid there and you are listening to Man United Status, Alejandro Garnacho … … not requiring much airtime for this.”
Such Stark statements raise questions about the priorities of English football, and releases the regulator to square. As Elsworth said, “A sale is not going to solve everything.”
A mechanism where issues arise with owners are still necessary. “There is a lot to think about,” Walters say. “Even an ideal system is not going to ensure that each football club is durable, but it is about where you can step.”
Bennett kept it clearly. “Football regulator is going to be a job hell.”
