Whites added to Prem League credit blacklist.

And with Liverpool sniffing around Lee, can we afford to keep him?

Liverpool however are in the list of clubs, along with quite a few others!

the fact that half the leagues clubs are on it makes me not too worried at the news...

I saw that last night at work.

Isn't it 75% of the premiership are on it or something? Most clubs have a very good relationship with there day-to-day creditors and it's just some bimbling financial analysts that have come to the conclusion looking at very limited data. Chelsea are on it FFS.

It was also reported in the timesonline.

Lazy journalism IMO

Chelsea are on it because they rely so much on Abramovic. They've slowly started to depend on him less and less. That's why they're on it

Saw this on a different forum a few days back.
As of last Friday, Burnden Leisure had a D&B recommended limit of £500k, so looks like a lod of b0llocks to me.

We used to use Riskdisk for credit ratings - it's pretty much the cheap option (which is why we used it) and imo not very good. Also broadly follows D&B / Experian etc which is why I think that this is either b0llocks or RD after a bit of publicity.

I think I saw reference somewhere to them having only 100 employees. I can't see them exactly leaving no stone unturned on the research front with that size of a company.

from memory, most of their limits are 10% of net worth.

they could probably get by with one employee and a spreadsheet.
