Sources? I don’t recollect seeing much in the press about our impending FFP issues last season - and the few of us raising it were constantly poo-pooed. Even when Swiss Ramble raised in back in May, that was shouted down. The sums aren’t difficult - though apparently they are to our region’s sports hacks, who somehow manage to spill ink on the most asinine of NUFC-related shite, but can’t do simple arithmetic.

Not saying it’s a deliberate ploy at all, but the failure of this window to land a high profile expensive target plays into his hands for a change in approach going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think next summer will be interesting. Not sure the January window is one which you can usually get long term targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our income is going to be roughly the same as last season. Our players costs are roughly 100% of turnover, so there is no headroom. This is the last season where you can run a £105m FFP loss over three seasons - but remember we ran up a big loss in 22/23, then last season we had a big clawback, but the issue would be that we’re already maxed-out in terms of player costs vs revenue. The likely deficit available would be c.£70m for the season based on the last two years - but we’ll already starting out at a loss, even without the Hall and Olunga transfers. We need to actually start selling players - but we don’t seem able to do this (other than in a panic). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fucking hope so. James Trafford, Calvert-Lewin, Marc Gheuyi (fuck off), that Fulham player, Anthony Elanga, Lloyd Kelly. One of them is a big improvement on what we have. And £70m wasn’t enough.

Forgot about Olise but agree, would’ve been a ridiculous signing. Again though, overpriced and based in the PL. The amount of times we hear how the club have to be clever to mitigate PSR concerns and then they are bidding 70 million Great British Pesetas for a centre half. The rest of them are players I’d expect us to be targeting with the bacon scranner as manager under Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a panic appointment, after failing with the Freedman approach. Needed to get someone in, has a reputation, no club, easier deal to make then get involved with trying to pry someone away from a club again. Think once dust settles, depending on what vision Yasir still has for the club, Eales could be the one that gets the chop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackandWhite Posted Friday at 21:32 Share Posted Friday at 21:32 Some proper knee-jerk reactions to a bad window here. The guys not been here two months yet, do you really expect him to plan and execute everything in less than 8 weeks? Let’s give him a proper judgement this time next year.
