Trugdish Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I've ran into an issue as Derby County where my training facilities have been sold by the board at the end of the first season due to financial issues, despite having £10 million in the bank I now have the worst facilities possible but no option to request an improvement from the board, what do I do? Or is this just another poorly implemented feature from SI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 True, but with 10 million in the bank you don't expect them to sell. Logging at least will make sure that SI can look at the save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnip Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 £10m in the bank, but what's the situation with debt? Maybe the board are looking at how much it costs to keep the training setup running and deciding it's an expense they can't afford given the debt the club has. If the debt issue is mostly resolved, it's probably worth flagging this as a bug, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranquelme Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I don’t think it’s a bug, if the debt is huge, maybe it’s to pay towards that? wonder what park they train at now anyway 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealSmokePL Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Derby's debt is quite huge, so maybe the board didn't think that 10m was enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterKano Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 According to Google their overall debt stands at around £83m. I doubt it would be entirely unrealistic that the board (Administrator) would sell of assets to appease the debtors considering they've already been handed a points deduction.

Trugdish Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 It makes sense but I don't understand the implementation, perhaps you could argue the land the current training facilities is valuable so the club sold it. But now my training facilities are rated at 1/20, the worst possible, in the Championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inacion Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Few year ago a Portuguese club, Boavista, due financial problems, almost lost their stadium due a garnishment. However after a long time nobody made an offer and currently they are still playing there. Currently they are on Primeira Liga helping to solve this situation also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnip Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The Administrators are not required to think about the long-term future of the company they've been placed in charge of. Their primary responsibility is to the creditors of the company. As I understand it, if they can raise enough money to satisfy the creditors and there's still a functioning business at the end of the day, that's basically a bonus. And Derby's training facilities are probably worth a reasonable amount. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, as the manager it's absolutely none of your business. You can always resign if you don't like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trugdish Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Well it is poorly implemented as currently 2 seasons on from when they were sold as a stable Premier league team I am still unable to request an improved to facilities from the board Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackk! Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hows your debt situation now, 2 years on? Have you seen the club use lump sums of cash reserves to clear debt? Have the owners changed? Looks to me like you have a board keen to maintain a sustainable club after some serious penalties and the outlay for brand new training facilities for a PL Club (which I've never done in the game but imagine is very pricey) is out reach still.

Debts have all been paid after 2 seasons in the premier league, got £47 million in the bank, board is the same I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd_angel Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Don't think it's a bug. My board of a tiny club in Ibiza island just announced a new stadium with undersoil heating (in the Mediterranean, for craists sake, a tiny club...). So, anything is possible...
