WalthamOwl Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) David Jones apparently close to signing for Grimsby! Personally thought he would end up at a league one club. Is he really League 2 standard? Edited May 14, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only four clubs are yet to submit and two of them are in administration. What’s going on? Doesn't say we haven't submitted them, we were one of 4 clubs who had delayed submitting them, but will have been sent in to the EFL by now and a couple of weeks ago the EFL said all clubs had complied much to the annoyance of the Boro chairman.

Nope, I think it’s just us and Bolton who haven’t submitted them. Does nothing to dispel the rumours that the club is in a mess with regards to FFP.

Theirs a difference between not submitting and not publicising, Chansiri doesn't have to publish the accounts, it's his company, the EFL won't publish anything unless rules have been beached and if tax due is paid HMRC will have nothing to announce, I don't think SB would be wasting his time lining players up if he couldn't sign anyone and I'm sure they'd know by now with the window opening on Thursday, fingers crossed.

He could have a player sale lined up for Thursday so that even though accounts show we've overspent we are within the P&S rules for this coming season. Personally if it is injury prone and histrionic FF to pigs for 14m and it allows us to sign players then it may be a case of thanks for the memories. He's lost half a yard and am sure there are Prem kids with the same skill but better consistency and less off the field crud to deal with.

Chansiri owns Sheffield Wednesday Football Club Limited who must file accounts with Companies House. It doesn’t matter if he owns it 100% or not. He’s now missed the (extended) deadline for doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he really League 2 standard? From what I saw, yes. Problem with older players is once their legs go, the decline is rapid. Still has experience to offer and good on him extending his career. A long time retired and hopefully he gets some games. How they can afford his £500k per week wage is beyond me though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Jones to Grimsby, if true, just illustrates the quality of our recruitment over the last few seasons and emphasizes how much money has been wasted on inflated salaries. He's probably been offered 20% of what we paid him, possibly less! To be fair, he's not the worst example either.

He was a good player, but like most of our signings, he was signed 5 years too late Seriously, it’s like whoever was responsible for signing players, hadn’t watched football since 2012 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
