striker Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I'm no ITK'er but suspect our targets this season are loans, as intimated by Jos. Seems we may not have been able to satisfy EFL on 1st August and need another sale, such as Westwood. The financial implications may be that bringing in signings now would break FFP and incur a fine. However the situation to be reviewed after the transfer window shuts to authorise some loan signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Those "financial implications" are clubs offering low blow transfer bids for our players....if they know we are under a transfer embargo of course. If we sell a player, we want the best price we can get. Nothing else to be afraid of.... It is stuff we already know.

Guest Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It’s about time here the Football League came out and started making this FFP situation crystal clear , for me the whole thing is an absolute sham and the last thing you would call it is ‘fair’ where is this money going that QPR have been ordered to pay? Is it distributed amongst the clubs that can’t compete ? How on gods earth does fining a club several MILLIONS of pounds help said club get back into a healthy financial state ? If we’re in a situation where we’re not even allowed to renew contracts then how exactly are the FL expecting the club to compete ? Clubs in the championship gamble massively because the premier league has been turned into such a vast pot of gold, the premiership sides can do as they please and even get parachute payments if there relegated but yet the FL punish the championship clubs for not playing by there rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all. If we sell a player, we want the best price we can get. Buying club will know we need the money sharpish so will use that to there advantage.

Yup, it is not rocket science. DC probably negotiated it with the EFL to keep it hush hush because we are probably not far off balancing the books.

TaxiMark Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 DC told me out of his own mouth that we would never be anywhere near the FFP limit and went on to say boro and Derby were in major trouble with FFP. All three have been totally incorrect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my main point really is why is it all shrouded in secrecy ? If that’s the case why don’t the FL come out and say so ? There the ones who have implemented it so why is it not for them to comment on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Owl Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Wednesday probably the only club who could moan at fans about FFP for three years, charge Premier League prices on everything under the sun to counter it, and still be stupid enough to eventually blunder into an embargo.

jamiejohn Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 So the EFL make no mention of us at all after the recent meeting while Birmingham are under an embargo ( but can still bring players in) villa are mentioned specifically with figures of 40 million mentioned yet a local journalist who always seems to have it in for us and will have an axe to grind given recent events says we are and everyone takes his word as law I’m not saying it’s not true and I suspect we’re at least on a warming but lets at least waite until we get something official from the club or the EFL before we go into a meltdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I wonder if we’re in trouble for something else too? Anyone seen a D Taxi or Elevate drink before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is too much? Just because some clubs can't afford to spend and we all know how we were a few year's back, it shouldn't mean other clubs should be prevented from doing so. When it applies to some clubs and not others well, that's very dodgy ground indeed Edited August 5, 2018 by pgmetcalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
