    I thought I read they did somewhere. It said 5m for first 3 1/2m for second and 4k for last. Bit of a joke if true, wtf can you get with 4k.

    4k is at least a weeks wage for most of our players TBH.

    A New York consortium has shown interest too according to the LEP. Didn't really confirm or deny the Miami interest.

    Seems a bit silly that the team that wins gets a payout from EFL, seeing as they are about to grab a fortune from the Prem.

    Knowing the EFL it’s 24 bottles of Carabao, a bottle of Jameson and some heavies breaking into your house to install a Smart meter.

    Victor Johansson, our almost certainly, departing goalkeeper has put 600 free pints over the bar at a local pub.
    Supporters can get a free pint each and a thank you card from Victor at 9am on Saturday at the Cutlers Arms.

    He's also provided a signed shirt to raffle for the Rotherham hospice.

    Whoever gets Victor not only gets a very good goalkeeper but a very nice bloke.
    He will be remembered in Rotherham affectionately for a very long time.

    I hope he gets the move he richly deserves and eventually goes on to be Sweden's No1 goalkeeper.

    It’ll be packed out with Rotherham Owls on the Scrounge!
    I might even pop Across for a free Beer myself, I am a real Yorkshireman!!

    Seriously, that’s a great gesture from him.

    Fair play to him. I can't imagine he's on massive wages and that outlay around here would be over £4k.

    Could see him being the next Spurs manager if he takes you up and keeps you there. You, Hull, and QPR are early shouts for the playoffs spots.

    It will be interesting to see what sort of reception the ELF “dignitaries” get at our place today.

    Well done to those that survived the drop. Wednesday, Plymouth and Blackburn, you deserved to stay up.

    looking forward to a season or two in league one. The blues will be back bigger and better. Up the blues, kro.

    I wish you all the best.

    If you can get out of the league at the first attempt it's not a bad place, but the longer you are there, the grimmer it gets.

    Birmingham shouldn't be in League One so hopefully it's a short stay and Mogga is well enough to lead you back.

    Looked like a team meeting at a table near the hotel bar more than anything.

    There was a Twitter post which has since been deleted..

    I should imagine most of the players not in the playoffs were on the piss. Start of the summer holidays. :cheers:

    A British/ European consortium has now enquired about buying PNE, along with the one from New York. Supposedly talks with the Miami group stalled.

    No chance PNE is worth £45m-£50m but I doubt the Hemmings/ Revitt will budge.
