The Night-Owl Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Shows that parachute payments aren't being used the way they were set up? Clubs are unfairly using it to spend on players rather than club infrastructure and wages. It doesn't always work out because just look at how Hull and Sunderland struggled this season and how Cardiff surprisingly over-achieved but generally parachute payments make things even harder for the clubs that don't receive them.

Owling Wolfe Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 And that just demonstrates how unfair FFP is when Villa can spend over twice the 3 year limit and not fall foul. Absolute joke of a ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy365owl Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 What would peoples opions be on us doing what wolves did this season going out and spending the money before any embargo due to ffp, knowing that one season in prem will more than cover those losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know last season should serve as a warning in regards with injuries but I think targeting quality young players and loan players plus shipping a few older players out would be a smart way of going about it. If it didn't work out, at least that way, we would still have our young players to build with and potential sale value if things went pear-shaped. Our biggest mistake was the scatter-gun transfer policy, not really strengthening the first 11; not bringing in pace and power, and going for proven experienced players seemingly backfired.

I heard (probably old news on here) last week that he is no longer involved with his illustrious employers and all his wealth was inherited. I'm not here to bash him as he has tried get us promoted, but I do worry if he suddenly decided enough is enough, we'd be well and truly in the smelly stuff.

Hougoumont Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 So why do the media continually refer to us as "Big spending Sheffield Wednesday " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
