I am miles more bothered about what they are going to do about Stoke's losses and how they manufactured the biggest loss imaginable for the last season by writing off all the outstanding book value of players way before the end of their contracts and by taking write down on book value of loads of players, to move them on.
They have flouted amortisation rules and convention, opportunistically using Covid as a smokescreen.
Their losses are far bigger than Derby.
I really hope Gibson launches a complaint.
This matters far more to us than Derby.
I remember you posting about this a few months back in a good level of detail explaining what had gone on. Has there been any press about this situation at Stoke since then at all do you know?
As you explained the situation, it just looked like they were massively taking the pish to bury their losses. Given their heavy spending that's a hell of a hole that needed digging to bury that lot.
If this is an even worse hatchet job than Derby then surely Gibson will be making a complaint? I don't believe he just did it with Derby because they pipped us to the play offs that season.
