Can't grab the tweets for some reason but he said - There must be money. About to spend that on a boss. What happens next will be interesting. Bruce wages alone a lot of money. So that’s a big difference to previous strategy. So either FFP was a convenient excuse. Or there’s a new chunk of cash coming into play. All very strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that Chansiri has found a loop hole in FFP. it would be great to sign some good players in January 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Unless of course, we are preparing to break FFP rules, in the hope that Bruce can get us up. Even at the recent forum, DC was suggesting we could be in trouble IF we don’t go up You don’t employ someone like Bruce, on big money, if you aren’t going to give him the proper tools to do the job Would be odd if we hired him to just keep us up, and to build a new squad on a budget There’s no history of him being able to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thought if it goes wrong, but you don’t know what the consequences are ... we could be so far over FFP that it might make no difference if we spend a bit more Chansiri could be lining up 1/2 sales and then allow Bruce room to manoeuvre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Nixon doesn’t know jack about our FFP situation. He knows about transfers and managers. He knows nowt about investment etc. People ask him about stuff he doesn’t know and he offers an opinion, probably less informed than most people on here regarding this particular topic.

He outright dismissed the idea of us coming out of the embargo back in August when that Sky commentator mentioned it. 24 hours later...we were out of the embargo. Like most people when it comes to FFP; it's all guess work and speculation. Whole thing is as clear as mud.

richowl Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I heard DC has sourced some new investment. How he gets that into the club to counter FFP/pay Bruce’s wages/money to spend is another question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impression I got is that he is speculating that if we can suddenly come up with £2M for Bruce then that’s a significant departure from the previous strategy of cutting out all spending whatsoever. Don’t think he knows there is new money incoming, he’s just putting 2 & 2 together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest we will be selling in Jan and any surplus funds will be for the manager to spend. Its up to the manager to do some wheeler, dealing. Guess Bruce is very apt at that bit like our old Big Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
