Owls-Fan Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 1 hour ago, whatevertrevor said: 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. It would be unlikely that Bruce would take a job with no transfer funds. He could easily wait till end of the season and still be a wanted man. So I suspect Nixon’s assumption is right that we have managed to get money to spend in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm doubtful that investment can be classed as income for FFP purposes. If we're handing Bruce money to spend in January I think its more likely to come from player sales income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I suspect we are getting a cash injection. Said on here previously I had heard a suggestion of DC selling the ground to an associate and leasing it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if DC & his associate have a fall out? What happens if DC does decide he's had enough & wants to sell up? Any prospective buyer will also have to negotiate with the owner of the stadium.

Unless his business associate is D-Taxi's or Elev8, like McCabe did with the lane in selling it to Scarborough Holdings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) I like reading Twitter when Biggs is trying to infer the Bruce thing was his...when Nixon was at least a week earlier Edited December 23, 2018 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) ‘He took Villa from relegation to play off’s and left the squad in a much healthier position with a net spend of next to nothing’ (paraphrasing Alex Bruce on Twitter) With this in mind he might not need an influx of cash, merely outgoings and incomings.

fpowl Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Not sure what the plans are but if for some reason we are going to be bringing players in here’s must for santa right back - I’ll take that Lacey one that follows Bruce around hard as nails centre midfielder with presence - I’ll take the play off final winner guy another winger - I’ll take snotgrass Bit more presence and mix up in midfield we can start using Hutchinson as a defender too then as well as in midfield bit more quality out wide our spine is still solid and with FF winnal and hopeful lee coming back we will be contenders again the question is will we find the run to do it this year? now I’m being realistic sell bannan, reach, FF, westwood and bring in Glen whelan as captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Maybe Chansiri has simply learnt that boasting about how much money you've got is foolish. It's music to Gibson's ears at bonny 'Boro, for example. He's had our trousers down for £14 million. One moment he says that we're gonna be in big trouble, the next "don't worry about FFP". It's possible that our great leader is sharper than we've given credit for. Let's say you've got a manager whom you're not completely happy with. Keeping a portion of your money aloof and telling him that there's no cash because of FFP means that he has to make do with what he's got. Then when the man you want becomes available you can back him. Nixon's right about one thing, Brucie wouldn't be coming here unless (a) he is well paid and (b) there's money in the kitty.
