ozzieowl Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 All this talk of can we afford wages etc...(Murphy) we have lost 13 players and signed 5. Surely saved loads in wages. looking at rough guestimates/reported wages... Fletch 35k Fessi 30k Fox 8k Lee 10k Dave 10k Hutch 20k DaCruz 6k Wickham 20k Murphy 10k Winnall 18k Jones 4k Windass 8k (obv got him back) Bates 4k 193k a week saved I don’t think 5 new players be on massive wages. that’s a huuuuuuuge saving of ‘champagne’ players. surely room for Murphy on 25k if he’d accept it. or maybe we don’t want pay that sort of wage anymore. Spread 3m over 4 yr if poss. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howards back Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 If we pay Murphy £25k then some other player would think he was worth that and the wage bill starts to spiral and players refuse to get on the bus ,oh wait FF has left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we just have to sell the stadium and got a points deduction because our spending was out of control (or at least against the rules)? We may be closer to a position of being able to avoid that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spread 3m over 4 yr if poss. Time will tell. So instead of losing £20-25m a season we will be only losing £10-15m a season. We are maxing out the losses because of the lack of other income, that none fan income, player sales - none of them as they all left on frees, advertising - none of that DC scared them all off. We don't have anything to bring players in and clearly DC is wanting to do it on the cheap, while charging us £40 a game to watch it. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed FF is gone and we now have Harris and Reach maybe we let the wrong left winger(s) leave. Fessi playing 46 games in a season would score double figures and assist as many, I am going to hazard a guess we won't get that from Reach and Harris. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only played over 30 games a season twice in the last 14 years so he isn’t getting anywhere near 46 games. Also his record for assists is pretty poor, mainly because he would always rather shoot than play anybody else in. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take time but at least by having younger players we have the chance of making a profit by selling players on, that might also encourage Premier sides to Loan us young talent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Let it go chaps. Those big wage players are out of range now. Need to learn and consolidate. Going to be a long old season. Virus permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s called living within the constraints imposed by the EFL. We all know they’re unfair in that they favour the relegated clubs but it’s the only way to avoid further embargoes and points deductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LondonOwl313 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Nero said: Being pedantic we do have the money, but unlike the Premiership failures, we arent allowed to spend it. I think it’s the opposite of that now and DC doesn’t want to spend. Given the stadium sale has effectively been moved from 2017-18 to 2018-19, we should now be showing a profit for 2018-19 in the accounts. I’m not sure how much we lost in 2019-20, but it should be way lower than prior seasons. We received a reported £9m for Joao and Bruce, and we cut 100k+ off the wage bill when we released Hooper, Boyd, Jones, Abdi, Matias and Pudil. So 2019-20 should be a vastly reduced loss and 2018-19 was a profit. Should leave loads of wriggle room to still lose £39m over 3 years if we spend in 2020-21. Just don’t think Chansiri wants to though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 We wont get the right side of FFP by signing players for 3 million paying them 100k a month...... have other clubs without parachute payments in this division been splashing that sort of money in this window?
