Bally21 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 What the hell is happening with this transfer? Premier league dragging their heals ratifying the deal. £30m is obviously a fair price in today's market, possibly even a bit low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina Tooner Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Was any European clubs interested? Surely we could have got market value from a European team and avoided this hassle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the hassle is either mind, the media hysteria or the boring crying from other clubs can just be ignored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The delay is annoying but there’s no chance of it being blocked. We just need it done so we can bring other people in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) As long as we are sure that it gets done by the end of the window, can't we spend that money in the mean time? Not a cash flow issue as mentioned before. FFP calculations is not a day to day thing. Edited July 27, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can be pretty sure Livaramento would have been done by now if a few could have been agreed regardless of this transfer. I think transfer fees this summer are extremely high and we are having to be patient. I think we’ve quite clear in the fact we will not pay more than we deem a player to be worth.

Bally21 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I agree they will not block it, but I can't help thinking they are dragging it on just to prevent us getting an incoming player now rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely loathe how the premier league have stacked the rules against us but at this point we have nothing to suggest the league is the hold up here. If they were, I’m pretty sure we would know about this by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways we as a club (fans, players, coaching staff, owners, etc) need a bit of an us against them attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 So, I know it’s been mentioned this and that here but I have no idea what’s been correct and not. Say we this goes through for about 30m? How much leeway does this give us extra? Been on vacay so I haven’t been paying close attention tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s profit*5, so assuming Maxi was still on the books for approx 6.5m at a fee of 30m it would be approx 117.5m, HOWEVER if we were to spend this all at once and assuming we are at the limit of FFP we would then need to make the same profit every year for the next five years (seling other players for considerable profit or through commercial revenue increases) before we could even think about further incomings. So really a better way to think about it is it allows to bring spending forward. Edited July 27, 2023 by Unbelievable Typo and clarification Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 If that's close to the case there can be no arguement about selling. Mind if that had been on The Manager/Champ Manager/SWOS back in the day I don't think I could have been arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
