The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 31 minutes ago, Wilson said: It is distorted but the teams mentioned above (villa/brighton/west ham... not even bothering to debate chelsea) have all had massive sales to fund their windows so they're able to go out and do business with a hell. of a lot more wiggle room than ourselves. Like you say, what we've achieved so far is outstanding and for me that includes each window we've had. Aston Villa haven’t had a ‘massive sale’ in 2 years.

No, but the £100m Grealish sale is still within the current FFP window, which has enhanced their spending power versus ourselves (who have brought in around half of that in total over the past three years).

Not to mention Chukwuemeka and now Archer, being sold for ~£40m of pure profit as academy products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, but as the FFP calculation is done over a three-year rolling period the +£100m still helps their figures this summer. They sold him summer 21/22 season so it encompasses 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Essentially I think we're good to go, but that includes an assumption that we're going to deprioritise the domestic cups. I think we're 1-2 good players shy of being truly competitive on all fronts. And that isn't a complaint or an insult or blasphemy or treachery before anyone calls me entitled; it's just an opinion as to where we are and I think "sacrificing" the domestic cups is completely reasonable. I think there's a reality where we drop into the uefa cup and compete for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you’re allowed £105m of losses in a 3 year period so in essence that gave them £205m of spending over a 3 year period, without accounting for any more sales.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 If Botman is only a couple of week thing then we'll not panic. If it had been a long term thing I think we'd have replaced him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Everyone understands FFP and how sales work for it. And I think people understand we are hamstrung. But it still doesn’t feel right to see clubs that haven’t sold a player for a big fee in 2 years spending £200m for the 3rd season in a row. That might not actually be true of Villa. But with the sheer number of signings they make. It feels like it. And tbf we’ve probably spent £200m this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Wish we'd loan in an experienced CL-experienced DM to help our midfield group adapt to the expectations and another loan for a dribbling-creator type RW who may need pastures a-new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
