Been the same for years it just took longer to get around back in the pre internet days. A good conspiracy theory has to have elements that could be true. Not saying they are but each press conference we have each day that passes each defeat etc etc it just gets re-fuelled by more anecdotal evidence that stuff is going on behind the scenes. Coupled with the losing run It's not rocket science, doing well nothing to say, doing badly and everyone comes up with bizarre stories, when fact is we need to realise we are just plain rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves turned over a profit 2 seasons in a row and then went and spent cash on quality players. I wouldn't mind imitating that. I think lower the prices during the lean years and then raise them again in the spend year. If the chairman was to come out and explain the situation, maybe even say sorry folks, I'm raising the prices to offset as much of the investment as possible, I'm pretty sure most people would be with him. That way everything is clear and fans can then feel part of the process. Obviously our transfer policy needs to be more efficient than last time.

Guest Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Dunkstar said: I might be being a little over simplistic here but is it not just that we gambled quite heavily on reaching the Premier League (a move endorsed by quite a few on here), failed in that gamble, and now how to cut our cloth accordingly? It seems to me the situation we find ourselves in now is the natural outcome of the high risk strategy of the last 2.5 years. We had a crack at chucking money at it, that didn't work. Now we have to come at it from a new, more cost effective angle. Looks like we'll have to lower our sights for a few years.

Really, do we evidence DC has said Hirst cant play? And yes, I assume DC has appointed the CEO. Get it on the back page of the star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl In Black Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I have to admit my head is turned now westy has been called up despite "injury." Regarding OP theres such thing as a non disclosure agreement. Given that alot of our players are signed for undisclosed fees it wouldnt be too far fetched to imagine that all details in the contracts are subject to an NDA or at least certain parts. Given that undisclosed usually means there are add ons and bonuses and future payments then it does make you wonder... Forget Jos' history with board interference. Nothing has changed since he took the job so he took the job on knowing the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're pretty good deals anyway, so unlikely they'll change. Hopefully they'll get frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground is a wreck/Slum We don't have any players worth more than a couple of bob. What is there to strip?. That big telly in the corner must be worth a few bob.

I'm still kind of hoping we can just trim off the likes of Jones, Palmer, Winnall and maybe even get a fee for Fletcher. Wishful thinking I know.

I find it very difficult to believe they and their agent would accept that, as well as damaging their own reputation by being labelled injured. If several players were being prevented from playing as about to get an appearance bonus or whatever think some would have waived the right to the extra money and wanted to carry on playing.

It won't work like that because of the way ffp is spread over a period. Income has to be consistent while the players contracts run down to counter the effects of the limits imposed by the loss AGAINST ffp; until the restriction has run down....however just because a club has reached ffp limits, doesn't necessarily mean it won't challenge during the lean years;though in our case i agree it is unlikely.
