Ronio Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 It's crazy to think somehow we may be involved in a transfer embargo. Crazy in the sense that we blew a ton of money unnecessarily and we are now reaping the consequences. One thing I find odd though, looking at the clubs in the Premier, is how can they keep spending ridiculous amounts of money year after year and yet still remain within the FFP rules?

vulture_squadron Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Surely the Football League would have published the fact we were under an embargo. They'd want to warn others of the consequences of breaking FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable !!! it seems that no manager wants to play him , highly regarded enough to get a new contract so you'd think he has the ability so maybe it's something else that stops him getting games . he may have all the ability in the world but if he cant play to the system that the managers want he's not much use to them until he learns to adapt his game . that's just one theory and may be way off beam but there's obviously something holding him back .

SallyCinnamon Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I told everyone on here the other day we are effectively under an embargo. But got negged to high heaven. The sale of Rhodes has kept our heads above water for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we can go into this season with what we've got, then I think a decentish season is in the offing. Key word there is IF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avon barksdale Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Anyone know the full implications of an embargo, if that is the case.How long do they last , are loans affected.How do you get them lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I don't understand the absurd survey the club put out before season tickets went on sale. The club would have known back in February we were close to FFP. Chansiri pretty much said in his end of season statement that we will be playing more youth players. Jos said the same at Owls In The Park. It's pretty obvious no players will be coming in. Thats why towards the end of the season we gave the young lads a go. That was clearly DC's decision to get fans excited about the young players at the club. Not saying it's a bad thing, but to me giving Kirby, Baker etc runs out was a way of deflecting attention away from the fact we can't sign players. Again giving youth a chance is not a bad thing. But it makes a mockery of that survey which suggested promoting academy players to the first team was a bad thing.

SiJ Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 That survey was ridiculous... I suspect (just an opinion) that it was basically a skewed way of asking fans if they wanted to keep some top earners - Bannan, Nando, Lees - the crown jewels if you like, whilst other top earners (assuming there are takers) would be offloaded. If the club manage to shift Fletcher, Abdi and a few others, then they'll have played a bit of a blinder. Still - putting forward a question like that, which on the basis of what's happened so far, is misleading, is incredibly poor off the club imo.

TrickyTrev Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Embargo or not, if we don’t bring anyone in but manage to keep Forestieri, Bannan, Lee, Hooper, Joao and Lees, I’ll consider it a successful transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only got one year when most of the others(J Lee, Baker, Kirby etc got 2). Think he may have signed his before Jos came though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Has anyone ever given it a thought that the main reasons we have not been involved in buying players are simply - 1. There is no-one on the market that Jos likes/wants, who is better than we alraedy have, or 2. Anyone Jos wants to buy is, in his opinion, not worth the price required, or eve 3. Jos is more concerned with getting rid of crap and trying to improve the fitness and skills of the ones he already has. We don't necessarily have to buy ourselves a ready-made team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't say they were going to do everything the fans said. But it would stick in craw if we were paying 40 quid to watch a team with less quality than previous seasons.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Surely with the sale of hunt 1.6m and rhodes 1/2 mill loan fee and massive wages that should balance the books quite well? Then fletch might be on his bike. I think then the squad is fairly well balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
