Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If Bournemouth can get up without problems, we can. While FFP seems to have crippled some clubs, others seem to accept it as the cost of success. Wonder who Nixon - who has a reasonable pedigree - is referring to. May be McCormack.

McCormack is the closest thing I can think of to a big buy that might be an issue for FFP, as he is now at his most expensive in terms of both transfer fee and wages. But it's not really an FFP issue, it's a good financial management issue - he's a poo poo or bust type of signing, and I can see why DC would be hesitant about that.

However Are the 3 relegated clubs next not going to be able to do the same with the monies available? and the three the season after that & so on. That's the reality sadly.

TheEnchanter Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Middlesbrough were able to spend nearly £30M after losing the play off final 2 seasons ago and it paid off. We are faced with that same gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys left peg Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 The truth of the matter is that Nixon knows just as much as us fans, not much. We also can't do owt about it so just sit tight and see what unfolds. Even tho we were in the mire a few years ago some fans still want us to spend, spend, spend. Rather have a football club than just recklessly haemorrhage money trying to reach the promised land of the premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth if the matter is, that's complete rubbish. Nixon is a paid journalist who's job it is to know stuff before we do, and report on it. Otherwise it wouldn't be news, if he was reporting what we already know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Bruce quit as the board wouldn't buy who he wanted. Wonder if Westwood was one of those as suggested by Nixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm not an expert, but didn't City fall foul of FFP , thus suggesting Premier League can impose sanctions? Also, FFP comes from UEFA so think all European leagues can apply penalties - PSG also got done. While I accept Bournemouth were well funded, they also had a great scouting network - eg buying Wilson- plus a great young manager. We are getting there.

It's cost a fortune to watch Wednesday last season, sold nearly 20,000 season tickets we was on TV about 10 times, we made it to Wembley, must of got decent prize money, had 2 kits brought out in 2 years costing a bomb, a rich chairman etc etc etc And are yet to spend a penny, forget wages that's no excuse for not spending a penny on transfer fees. Some of you are starting to sound like pigs, blindly accepting a chairman that must make a fortune off them and reluctant to reinvest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing to do with UEFA or The premier league. The football league have their own FFP rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, if we can't spend a decent bit of money after the season we've just had then God help every other team in the league. Because the likes of Preston who finished in a respectable position won't of generated a fifth of what we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. will someone help us out here... and i'd appreciate answers from only those that actually are knowledgeable... where's the borderline lie between our owner dc, and this consortium? as i always thought this baby was dc's alone...

I reckon the chairman's back passage has dropped out and FFP is just the nearest large rock to hide behind. I've said it before and been castigated for it but somethings not quite right.
