    As has been explained many times before the million a month figure is only looking at one side of the picture and is much exaggerated.

    Just to clarify for those interested in the year of my post further up the thread, definitely not 2017, so I’m gunna have to put my neck on the line and go for 2018.

    As has been explained many times before the million a month figure is only looking at one side of the picture and is much exaggerated.

    If a business makes a net loss of £12m a year, that equates to a million quid a month, on average.

    Although, if course, the club's revenues are significantly reduced at this time of year and the costs barely lower. So, in reality, a million quid a month is probably a huge underestimate at this time of year.

    Except for the one off relegation year when Katrien shat a whole load of money up the wall we haven't list that much in a while.

    The quote from Slater tat has since been repeated by Murray and Katrien was they they were some dint 1m a month. That was true but only gives one side of the picture. It's distorted by the fact that the majority revenue come in at specific points of the year either through player sales, season tickets or sponsorship.

    The club's losing money. And there's virtually no revenue coming in to the club over May or June. Do you dispute either of those facts?

    If not, then it's clear that the value of the club is diminishing week by week, currently.

    Further, if a buyer has agreed a fee for the club, he will have a financial disadvantage in completing sooner, rather than later.

    They're not delaying buying the club to save money. They're not delaying buying the club at all.

    I love Grapevines posts....though I have to stop reading fairly regularly to take in what’s being said.
    I ain’t gonna suggest I always understand it all but after a bit of re-reading I manage to get most of it......I think.
    He has a great way with the written word and without doubt a fantastic insight and sympathetic understanding of the club and it’s current plight.
    Makes you wonder who Grapevine is doesn’t it? I’d love to know, if for no other reason than someday to shake his hand......as truly a fascinating character and thought provoking poster as has ever graced this forum.

    Yes, don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like Grapevine eh. :smile:
    I can get a bit lost in the detail like you Soundas, but they are stunning posts.
    I get the same feeling a bit reading them as I do watching University Challenge or that show with Victoria Coren, I’m really pleased when I understand the question let alone know the answer!

    So to be clear.

    This sale will go through once the EFL have completed their fit and proper person investigation ? No other holdups ?

    I don't think so. But we'll see. Might be tied up this week, announced next week. Hope so.

    We will be taken over, wait a few more weeks(apparantly).

    Don't buy your season ticket yet as Duchatelet will get the dough.

    Hope you enjoyed your holiday.
