Player Valuation: £35m
The Royal would have been delayed whether Carrillion went bust or not. Carillon were involved in risky business, passing on losses from onenjob onto the next on the promise that all debts woudl be covered by that next golden egg. It never happened.The company building it went under because they were hoovering up public sector work by putting in ridiculously low tenders.
That actually led to site investigations, which led to a few discoveries, which let to massive delay. The issues with the Royal, cannot, in my opinion, be likened to anything at BMD.
USM never put down £30m as first dibs on naming rights, they put £30m down to fill a £29.75m shortfall in our accounts, where we'd of failed ffp otherwise. The money can only go in from the stadium without being subject to other rules within P&L.
USM may well have sponsored the stadium, who knows. But they never paid £30m to do so. It was all just a rouse. Had somebody with a bigger offer come in, USM would have conveniently refused first offer.
