Chairman press conference - a few important comments from Chansiri

[@owlstalk]

 

"If we get offers for players that we can't refuse and we believe we can replace them, then we will make a decision,"

 

"We have talked about the areas we would like to strengthen,"

 

"Our recruitment team works all year round"

 

"We prepared two lists of transfer targets if we stayed in League One or got promoted to the Championship."

 

"Every coach asks me about budgets but I always say there is no set budget,"

 

"It depends on what we need. Whatever we need, I will try my best to support as much as I can."

 

 

[flash]

Messed up hugely in the past but you can’t fault him last season for how much backing he provided DM. 
 

Hopefully more of the same. Touch wood we’ve offered the right contracts to those who’ve expired ie Luongo, etc, and additionally they’ll be a focus on both bringing some youth through and recruiting players at the right age with re-sale value.

Bang on

Good season from the chairman last season
Another one like that and the right players and it's promotion time

I mean, you can see why the EFL sanctions happened, can't you?

But aren't those statements the reasons the EFL applied a points deduction.

Surely every club should agree a budget regards what is affordable and stick to it.

 

His heart is in the right place but it seems he hasn't learnt the previous errors of his ways.

I suppose it might be a mis communication and he means he has a budget but tries to be flexible around it, being ambitious (when needed) but always keeping one eye on the Profit and Sustainability rules.

All Chairmen or CEO's of EFL clubs should submit a budget to the EFL, and lose points at the end of the season if they go over it by  5%.. Everyone would then know were they stand financially

What you've just said is what we're currently under, SCMP.

 

The club has to give the league a budget and all spend which takes you over 95% of the threshold must be notified to the efl.

I was thinking that..  he should have a budget that is comfortably below spending rules but with the ability to go beyond if the right deal is to be had.

Can't say fairer than that, fair play to the bloke.

You really don't reckon we should have a set budget?

 

After what we've been through under Chansiri's tenure so far, I'd say having a set budget and making damn sure we stick to it from now on would be top of my list of non-negotiables.

Any mention on refunds ?

I haven't moved on from the horrors of his first few years and doubt I will.

 

Even promotion back isn't progress considering where we were when we bought us.

 

But not going to dampen any positivity others may feel.

 

 

[Blatter]

No set budget leaves the manager some flexibility to wheel and deal. At least I hope that’s what he means cos working completely without budgets is sloppy management to say the least.

[nevthelodgemoorowl]

Our budget has been set by a generous couple from Gloucester and it is circa £186,000,000 !

 

Stop worrying about budgets FFS budgets don't get promotion, players do !

[darklord]

I like that they had the foresight to make two transfer plans, depending on promotion. 

 

A sign we are getting better organised.

Has there been any confirmation from the EFL hat the transfer restrictions have been lifted?

 

i have not seen anything

The restrictions were part of the agreement that was made when we accepted the suspended points deduction over unpaid wages, so there's no need for an EFL announcement.

 

It just covered last season and expires in the summer.

Classic twisting words... very dishonest and beneath a fan of your standing on this site.

Sounds suspiciously like two alternative transfer budgets though doesn’t it. I think some of what Chansiri says gets rather lost translating his thoughts into English
