Southie_Owl Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It feels like a different world now reading about other championship teams signings. We are drifting slowly backwards as others improve. Malone to Derby? Meh, I’ve lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've conducted some cracking business on paper this summer. Some decent signings but seems very odd given that they were up against FFP when Rowett left. I know they’ve sold players but I can’t see them reducing losses significantly if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they've pretty much spent exactly the same as they've received this summer so I can't see how they'd be in trouble for next season either. That's going off the fact they made a 8-9M profit on transfers last season and a net spend of just £1M or so for the year before. It was the 15/16 season that they last made a loss of around £30M in transfer spenditure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not made a loss on transfer money for 3 years. So I bet they'll be fine to keep going to be honest! If they don't make it this season they'll be good to go next season for another attempt. I can't see us having that capability. Already said, as depressing as it sounds, that I think we are in for a QPR or Forest type lull of 2-3 seasons+. Sad really.

It was the 15/16 season that they last made a loss of around £30M in transfer spenditure. Mel Morris and Rowett both openly talked of cutbacks being required this summer to avoid FFP trouble and their supporters are talking about it now. Lampard comes in and they have brought in numerous players, the cited fees for Josefzoon and Waghorn alone already take up the vydra fee, then add Evans, Malone a couple more loans and I might’ve missed some. The various fees will be offset over a contract but 3 players leaving and adding another few to the wage bill is at odds with the message earlier this summer. Unless he was lying for whatever reason. Theres net spend but there’s also a huge wage bill. Edited August 8, 2018 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Malone such a good player at this level. One I've always wanted at Wednesday. So frustrating we spent money on crap players. And now have to watch everyone improve whilst we stagnate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Derby will be fine, they've sold players as well over the last 3 seasons. The likes of Will Hughes, Tom Ince, Matej Vydra, Cyrus Christie brought in 30 million in the last 2 seasons alone. This is where we miss the boat as we just buy and don't sell when the time is right. You can only sustain that for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
