DONCASTER ROVERS LIMITED
Company number 03739676 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Doncaster Rovers Limited is deeply loss-making, balance-sheet insolvent, and entirely dependent on continued parent company support. With negative equity of £42.3m, current liabilities nine times current assets, and no debt-servicing capacity, this company presents an unacceptable credit risk for any new unsecured lending. Any credit facility should be declined unless secured by an unencumbered first charge over assets of sufficient value and supported by an irrevocable parent guarantee from Club Doncaster Limited – neither of which is currently in place or likely to be sufficient.
