I think we are in a good place with wiggle room on the wages front considering our increased revenue to come. it just goes to show what a massive red herring the previous figure of 90% was. People loved beating us with that without engaging the brain.

Reckon it’s credible? The source that is?

Nobody has had a reason to challenge it until now, also it’s important to remember that all of these members clubs voted for these rules. Obviously now the ownership of the league has evolved and we have some ambitious owners like ours Forest and Villa. A lot of the owners are in it to make money so if they can cap the amount they have to spend they are absolutely over the moon. If they can increase the gap to the champo even better because they I can ride the gravy train and watch the 3 newly promoted clubs to back down. Ive mentioned before but we really need clarity on what’s the purpose of FFP. Is it to protect clubs from going bust? Or is it to level the play field? Right now; it’s not performing either of these roles, and its function is to protect the established elite.

If we must sell one of Crown Jewels which is obviously ridiculous but the order I would do it in is Botman, Bruno Isak. Botman should be the easiest to replace. Selling Bruno means a change in system as he is the glue which holds it together. Isak shouldn’t be sold unless he wants to leave. Strikers are very difficult to replace and a shortage exists given the daft money Manchester red spent on someone totally unproven and the fact both Arsenal and Chelsea are in desperate need.

He’s irreplaceable, selling him would be such a mistake.

Chelsea now using Strasbourg to circumvent FFP…

We are going back to one game per week. No worries about him breaking down at this stage. Plus Barnes will be back in a couple of weeks, plus when Wilock returns big Joe can also play there.

Let’s not push Our best striker to the flanks.

I can assure your most clubs are very happy with FFP. only those with rich owners who have ambition to challenge don’t like it. The rest love the status quo.

I don’t have any expectations, we’ve made in our bed in the summer and now are being dictated to. we can’t rewind the clock and hindsight is 20/20. although, I must admit if everyone agrees we’ve what I’ve said I’m not sure what we are debating?

To be frank, and I know this isn’t a popular take but we aren’t really are we? Again, from the media takes we are getting we are actively sitting on our hands waiting for nearer the end of the window to maybe hopefully get a loan for a player who hasn’t played much in the last two years. Please do correct me if I’m wrong but we don’t appear to be in a hurry. Make of that what you will.

Im not critiquing anything, what I said is more of a statement. Personally I’d prefer we do nothing rather than get in short term fixes at some expense.

Doesn’t alter the fact of what I’m saying mind. And who knows? It might change and we get someone in today.

Is it what we are doing?

He can taste that champions league whilst clubs like ourselves sit on our hands.

Haha, we didn’t even need one during Ashley’s reign. We should have been booted out of the league for not trying to be honest. To be honest, the calculations involved aren’t all that complicated and wouldn’t need more than excel. The biggest issue we face as fans are we in the dark and lack the specifics to calculate ourselves. Im sure @Colos Short and Curlieswould know more than me though.

Oh don’t worry, we will definitely know internally exactly how much Lee way we have. Any external model can only be estimates at any rate given most of the real time data is only known by the club. Im sure our head of finance is aware of this too.

You will get the hang of it, it’s just the practice of spreading the cost over the length of the contract capped at 5 years.

Everything about this is pure

Ahhh Spanish media is so good because you know you can just ignore it.

No point keeping anyone who can’t contribute imo.

It’s impossible to track as we don’t have the real time accounts, most estimates out us near our limit however.

Bayern linked today as well.

He was past it for the last year at Liverpool, 6 months on holiday in Saudi and he’s begging to come back? No thanks avoid like the plague. Adds absolutely nothing to us.
