No, but they awarded the contract

Depends of the other clubs are willing to match there wages, i doubt Bullard will get another 50 grand a week contract with injury worries.

Spot on. Pearson hasn't come out and said this directly but he's said that a payoff would depend on City staying up or not.

The SMC can be changed by the City Council if the Council believe they are not doing the job properly..At one stage Hull was offered a place on the SMC but turn it down ..this was back in the early days

But if the company that employs Bullard folds then so does his contract so tough on him he'll have to limp on, or should I say he'll have to Wash and Go

The current SMC has a 25year lease to run the stadium and should it fold then I'm presuming so would the lease and then the Council would have to tender another lease to another company.

I raised this a few days ago, linked the Bartlett story, and the thread was locked.

Can we leave it open for some debate?

We have a user contract with the SMC, as do City, they chose to mortgage theirs with RBS to fund the PL

What if they cannot make the required payments? (If/when City go down, i fully expect them to hit the wall, go in to freefall and admin.) Will they offer the lease to someone who can pay their way?

Grimsby?

Scunny?

Rovers?

I heard that city have pre-sold 7000 passes at £280 to a london based company for next season to balance the books.

Is it city or the smc who have hocked their lease? Can't see their being any value in city's lease

Depends. If it turns into a "let's all laugh at City" thread like the last one then no.

It has to affect us in some way or another? I hate some city fans. I hate some FC fans. I hate some rovers fans. THis can affect us and is worrying.

Duffen was a complete and utter charlatan and his dealings for city ( and I say this with sympathy for the geniune city fans) have raped them, and the upshot of it all could be bad for us.

City

Basically if you read the linked article its all about the ticket and other revenue as part of their user agreement.

A lease on a ground in the PL is clearly worth something, £4mill i think it was without reading the article
