steelcityowlsfan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Some surprising results on there. If you were an Ipswich fan you'd be scratching your head. The Wolves owners are very wealthy indeed. Wasn't there rumours of some of the share holders at Reading selling up and perhaps joining us as they are connected in some way? Plus if we ever get to the PL, I suspect that TUF could be brought onboard to add some clout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted previously that an explanation of the mechanics of FFP would be greatly appreciated, there must be a set of rules and figures that even owlstalk members could understand, but then again ------------- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves accounts show over the last few years that relegation from the championship with parachute payments and subsequent promotion back to the championship with them makes them well, well inside FFP. Thats how i understand them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brommers Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 "McCabe sold the Saudi Prince a 50% stake in the Blades for just £1. Since then the Prince has invested the best part of £80m in the club." Someone's had the Princes pants down on that deal. A quid for 50% of that lot! In all seriousness though, where's his £80m gone? Surely that's complete rounduns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Would it be fair to say that it's not a simply a case of how much the owner/ club has...one has to take into consideration how much they are allowed spend and how wisely they do it. I don't doubt that the more you have the better it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Wolves were nearly £6m in profit for 2015/16 so that allows a loss of £45m over 2016/17, 2017/2018 to stay within FFP this season. This is simplistic and if they were to lose £45m over those two year, next season might be a bit sticky for them. As it stands they will be within FFP at the moment.

My very basic understanding is that you have around 3 seasons to spend what you want and if you make it to the promise land, your books balance and if not, you're hit with some form of sanction. Wolves are somewhere near the beginning of this time frame? I don't know. P. S BARMYARMY 2010 - Everytime i come on here, i try to zoom into your profile picture.
