That's going down to the championship plus coming within literally hours of administration for you. Coming back from that is expensive. It was also over 4 years ago, so irrelevant to current FFP situation. Know it’s 4 years ago, and you’ve a good club with respect of selling players to cover costs, but the sale of your stadium meant you didn’t fail ffp and suffer disciplinary consequences (whatever those would be ?)- point being that you rode your luck a little and your ffp success isn’t all down to good judgement and planning.

Toon88 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 It’s also not the end of the window. Villa, once they’ve done their incoming business, will shift their deadwood for substantial fees, instead of paying them off. They have an advantage over us, in that they will probably shift Traore, Archer, Sansom, Nakamba, Davis, and possibly Dendoncker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ve got around 100m room still (maybe more with sales) this year, but after this year they’ll either have keep selling and increase income another way in order to keep going at the rate they are. It’s clear the Grealish sale assisted massively and without it they wouldn’t be spending anywhere like they have done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Ramsey, Cameron Archer for example. Aaron Ramsey, Tim Iroegbunam, even players who have just been on loan in the championship fetch good money these days. It isn't a coincidence that when the new owners poured money in, they addressed a large chunk of it towards the youth and academy (we're building an inner city academy just next to Witton Station, spitting distance to the ground at the moment). TBF to Man City and Chelsea - and I don't like doing that - their owners also realised this, and trading homegrown players makes a huge difference to the FFP position of those clubs.

How do you think yours is going to be impacted, then, given you've spent almost 3 times as much in the last three years? Incidentally, you say "Without the Grealish sale" as if selling a home grown player for a ton of money is an exceptional event. Selling one for 100m is, yes, but that side of transfers is going to become more and more important. Selling 120m of homegrown players makes a difference because you can book the entire value in one window, whereas otherwise, spending is spread out across the length of the contract (see Chelsea and their insane 8 year contracts). Football is basically as much like Ultimate Team as the actual main game these days. Edited July 14, 2023 by brummie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when they got promoted their fans were constantly on about us, having finished above us for the first time in about 50 years with all this "mind the gap" shit, really bizarre. Obsessed with us (like Coventry, similar vibe). So now, they can go and fuck themselves. I remember when they used to play in front of less than 4k in the third division, the uppity wankers.

gbandit Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The fact that he shook hands with Kenny Dalglish in Anfield on the day he signed the contract says it all.

TBG Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Nah fair play to Ryder. He's done his research and at the time of writing that, was unable to find subscription to the paper copy of the Chroncile under the name of Szoboszlai. Another sign that he had no interest in joining the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
