Thick as a tub of spunk some of you lot, what our owners are doing is spending the money the club generates, because that’s how the EFL want the league to be run. It’s always going to be a massive struggle compared to other clubs for us due to the size of our fan base, but still despite how easy it would be for owners with their wealth to cheat the rules, they continue to try and find ways to operate within the rules set out by the EFL, that’s why our playing squad is the youngest in the league, to try and maximise potential revenue from player sales. Last summer we made around £6M in player sales, and we reinvested all that back into the playing squad, that’s all we could invest because that’s all we made, we couldn’t go out and buy ready made Championship players, with the experience we’re crying out for, because towards the end of their contracts they’d have no resale value, thus meaning we’d have no money generated by the club to reinvest. Their hands are tied by the rules set out by the EFL, This is why they are kicking up such a song and dance about clubs being allowed to take the p!ss.

Sheff74 510 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 So, any ideas when we might hear something on this, or is the 'hear within the next fortnight' to be believed? Link to post Share on other sites

I share the same sources as many of the journo’s (i.e. Guesswork and OwlsTalk) and can definitely tell you that I believe we may hear something later today. If not today, then probably tomorrow, and if not tomorrow then almost certainly next week, er..., or the one after. A source close to the club (i.e. My mate who lives on Minto Road) has said that if we haven’t heard by the end of September he’d be “very surprised”; although he qualified that by saying “it’s a funny old game” and “anything could happen - or not”. Hope that puts everyone in the picture. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Id say hes spending a lot more than that. Considerably more. £6 million from player sales - Both sales he had to make due to FFP reasons. Hardly down to strategy more out of necessity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Are you happy with being an unambitious yo-yo club though, who made it into the big time once? 97 wasn't it? Virtually on a par with Rotherham and Donny. Link to post Share on other sites

Miffed 7,200 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Funny how many of our fans have been moaning and complaining on here about the way that our club has been run and demanding a change....
