joelswfc Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Seem to have a lot of these threads and I think the reason is that no-one really understands it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 We've not even spent anything this season. Sold a shedload of season tickets and memberships at a fortune. Just brought 3 new kits out at extortionate prices and an apparent owner/consortium who could buy Abramovich out with what's in his back pocket. Somethings not adding up for me.

swfcjam Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Maybe this story has been put out there to try and stop clubs asking us to pay ridiculously high fees for players because they think we've got loads of money. A bit of mind games from Mr Chansiri, I hope anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike1867 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Whilst I don't agree with the statement he could buy out Abramovich.......I agree with the rest. The more learned among us will be able to give us figures, but given our undeniable increase in revenue, and the fact that we haven't paid huge transfer fees, how could we be so close to FFP limits? Have we been offering exorbitant wages? Must say slightly worried......unless of course it's all subterfuge to stop clubs and agents driving up prices.......but would be a little extreme......

BRUCE LEE Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Presuming the concern comes from the planned transfer spend against the forecasted income Which will be down The corporate income being a big problem, what have we sold, 6 of the boxes?

A bit of mind games from Mr Chansiri, I hope anyway! Maybe it's been put out there to stop fans asking why the huge amounts we are paying for tickets, and the massive amount of money we made from Wembley and the play offs hadn't reflected itself in any player purchases at all just yet?

Random Task Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I wondered whether the lack of activity might be something to do with FFP. Perhaps Villa and Newcastle coming down has made Mr C worried that the amount he was planning to spend won't get us promoted & that he might have to end up paying a FFP fine out of his own money rather than Premiership winnings. There's now us, Derby, Newcastle, Villa, Norwich & Brighton who are expected to go for promotion, as well as possibly Wolves if their money starts coming in. There's also normally a surprise package that goes close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Not to mention the money generated from TV appearances last season, we've already been selected for 3 this season. prize money for losing the play off final last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got to be this; FFP concerns don't make any sense otherwise. We shouldn't be struggling given the extra season ticket sales, playoffs and Wembley money. That all said, nice to hear our owner is running this like a proper business, and doesn't want to take us back to a similar situation we were in 10 years ago.
