Especially when he told fans the other week that no one knows FFP better than him. If he truly understood it then he’d have flogged some players years ago. If i were him I’d be on the phone to the Wednesday Week lads first thing in the morning, they seem to have a far better grasp of the rules.

WalthamOwl Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) It’s a hell of a long statement that just seems to say the same thing over and over. Very odd statement. It’s like a massive text my Mrs would send me after she’s been on the wine all night. Edited January 16, 2019 by WalthamOwl 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hopefully he's finally realised that the only way to get out of the mess he's created is to sell some players in January (hopefully enough to get us north of the FFP hole) and fingers crossed stay up. That way with a level FFP, so no embargo, a huge lump of wages off the bill and a smaller squad Bruce can start then rebuild with funds and wages in the summer. For me if we have to sell Nando, reach, Westwood and lees etc, then so be it if its the best course of action going forward to next season. Personally my thoughts are we've too many players here who have either been here too long, have been there done that fallen by the wayside or just don't have the mental capacity for a promotion charge and things need freshening up and revitalising.

He can't win can he. When's he closed and defensive he gets slated. When he's open and tells it as it is he gets slated. Our fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC has said multiple times before we will have big issues with FFP if we didn’t achieve promotion. And what has he done to try to achieve promotion sign 1 player for 3 transfer windows and bring in 2 loans one of which never plays. where is the plan for promtion, where is the investment, yes I know it's sat in the stands watching the crap unfold with the rest of us. sell Reach sell Bannan get £20m in, release half the squad in the summer offload Rhodes,fletcher and Fessi none have done anything for 2 years and let's start again with a team of frees and kids. Where Stuart Gray when you need him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Here’s my guess... Ground sale has fallen through/ been made apparent it can’t be used as way round FFP, hence the statement. Bruce won’t be here in light of our finances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrap11 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If we need 15 mil to avoid an embargo. And we sell bannan, reach and Fernando for say 18 mil. Does that mean we've shown we can make money so they'll legt us spend like crazy again for 3 years? Or does it mean we've got 3 mil to spend in the summer? I think we might be best just keeping all our best players and taking the embargo up the bum. Feck em. What would be the point in selling but still not been able to buy anyway? We'd be in a worse position than what we are in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
