How he gets that into the club to counter FFP/pay Bruce’s wages/money to spend is another question. Bruce is being hired as chansiris butler so it doesn't count towards ffp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Do we think DC still believes we can up this season? It might explain a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eustace had colin west up front the player what hit the roof of the kop instead on the net , jos by a million miles is the worst ever ,someone who banned 6-7 players from earning there wages . who drops the player of the month next game etc etc could go on but that be as boring as what jos was.

If the rumour my mate was peddling at the game yesterday it will be from Wolves and Reach going in the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Mr.Bruce will be offering his football management services for free, and employed as a taxi driver on a modest 2mil salary. Nothing tuna fishy about it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending well far in excess of revenue. So if we are not being penalised for falling foul with FFP, then why have been told differently by the club. Some strange things happening at SWFC at present especially with the chairman. Suddenly dismissing JL whether it was by mutual consent or not straight after the fans forum, saying he was selling up, then possibly bringing in the most expensive manager in the championship. Something doesn't stack up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Bruce will come and he's a big enough character to be the interface/flux between the upstairs and downstairs. He'll be a breath of fresh air..... until he calls us "Sheffield". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I thought we may go for it but surely if we were so close toill embargo last time the league will be watching like a hawk and prevent transfers if needs be?

He as far exceeded the acceptable amount set by the FA regarding revenue and spend, unless I'm reading it wrong. Also it appears the FA saw through the D Taxi thing as it never came off. I think that I have simplified too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I have simplified too much. again i have prob got it completely wrong but thought/understood that the ffp work in a revenue to spend ration for example in very simple figures you bring in 1 million rev you can spend 3 million and as we only bring xyz in he cant spend anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevertrevor Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Now he's saying that he thinks Bruce will be able to bring players in in January, rather than having to wait until the summer. Again, that could just be Nixon surmising that if we have the funds to spend on Bruce then we must, somehow, have funds available/be able to spend.

gurujuan Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 What’s the betting Bruce will bring in a centre forward in January. He always does when he takes over anywhere, probably reckons it gives him his best chance of making an immediate impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 If we can get FF and Winnall back in January then a couple of full backs and possible a midfielder would be the main priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
