We went ahead with Barnes as two fingers up the the PL saying we’d lose a target and we needed him in pre season so they were screwing us due to their slowness approving. Making it clear that that if they now reject ffp issues are due to them. I’ve pulled this from my arse but it would not surprise me. One thing we do know is that they are slow in everything they do.

Unbelievable Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Based on what rule could the FA possibly block an outgoing transfer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t but if they thought he was only worth 20 million that’s all that would go down against FFP. So if we received 30 million the other 10 wouldn’t count.

Think you're meaning the PL rather than the FA? Cause they've been bought a while before we joined the party. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they cant block as such. But they can say that if we were getting 40 million (for the sake of argument) that not all of that would apply to the FFP calc. Given that this is a transaction between related parties. Edit so maybe pizza fella was right that it should have been Friday as we were waiting on the PL. EOW nothing happened and they closed shop for the weekend. And we just thought fuck them we want Barnes in the US. (I do have an active imagination. I also thought the hearse could be to promote a film. So my speculation matters little) Edited July 25, 2023 by KetsbaiaIsBald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
