Nope!

If he had the drive and mentality, he would have been our first-choice striker by now. The fact that he is being kept out of a team by a 37-year-old says it all.

How much do you think we are going to offer him?

Goes Villa he's swapping one bench for another.

Wrexham total wage bill is around 6m, Vardy annual salary is around 5m. Very unlikely he goes there.

If this quote from the Mercury is accurate I expect he will be here as long as with give money to spend. “I don’t care about this (selling players for financial reasons). If we lose important players, it’s important that we bring in important players. It’s not a problem if we need to sell players to solve any problems. But it’s important that we can then bring players in. Sounds like his well aware we may need to sell KDH. I imagine we are scrambling around trying to sell the likes of Daka, Iversen, Soumare, Kristiansen, Thomas and maybe Justin before we cash in on KDH.

Hull paid 5m for Philogene from Villa academy who end the season with 12 goals and 6 assist. Plymouth paid 1m for Morgan Whittaker 19 goals and 8 assist. That shows there are plenty of gems out there we can find rather then paying 7m for a player who contributed 1 goal and 2 assists at this level and taking up to the next level. We need to be looking for those sort of hidden talents.

Shame because his shown flashes of being a good player, he's just not been able to pull it all together. I agree there aŕe more gems we could unearth for less.

People get a little confused by fees, 30m over a 5 year contract is 6m onto our amortisation it's not crazy. Our amortisation will have drop from a all time high of 77m to around 30m this summer, our issue was over the last few seaosn high amortisation and a crazy wage bill 200m. The amortisation side of the problem is back under control, I suspect wages after coming back in line with 11 players on PL wages leaving last summer and another 3 or 4 this summer. I expect us to sell a few more and then go again spending a decent amount in the 2nd half of the summer.

Good shout, not sure he fits the clubs profile.

Yes. But lots of caveats as it guess work determining our revenue, wage bill, other expenses. Or example I'm working a 50% reduction on the wage bill, it could 10% ethier side of that.

Brushing over the fact his won the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot awards, as the most valuable player and the top scorer with 7 goals in the U20 WC during that summer. Also how many minutes did he get for us? Rather have the playing regularly in L1 then having another loan to a championship club second half of the season or next.

I think you have blue tinted glasses on. Both have came back from a ACL injuries and only managed 400 minutes this season in the tank. Braybrooke has 16 senior minutes and Alves has 15 in their career. They will do well to get any championship club.

Unless we are confident of giving Alves and Braybrooke decent game time next season I'd go down the route we did with KDH a good loan at League 1 level and then Championship

Not a chance. Top wants us to play possession football, all our recent permanent coach have had a philosophy to match Puel, Rodgers and Enzo.

I like him, but it's crazy to want to spend 10 million on a player who struggles to make an impact in the Championship. We can get better for that money, and the same is true for Doyle unless Man City is willing to take 3-5m.

Sorry, I was talking about the profit from the sales, which was 75m. Profit is the important part as that has a postive impact on the accounts. Multitasking i.e. working and posting causing issues

We don't. Yes we made 75m profit on players sales in our last PL season. But we enter the next one with a 47m reduction in our amortisation cut from an all-time high of 77m to 30m, a saving per annum of 47m. We also hope to slash the wage bill from 200m to around 130-150m, saving around 50m-70m per annum.

.When I referenced 105m, it was for the 2023 period, which includes 21,22 and 23 of all PL seasons. 83m will be for the 24 and 25 reporting periods as they contain 24, which is a Championship season. Update my previous post to make it clearer.

Looking at the numbers, we are looking at a breach of PSR for the 2023 report period of around 35m, as we roughly have the following numbers after healthy deductions and other adjustments: 2021 - 19m, 2022 - 72m, 2023 - 49m, which come to -140m. -140m is 35m over the target of -105m. (PSR Target for 21,22,23) To hit PSR for the reporting period 2024 (22/23/24), we will have to book a profit of around 10-15m before health deductions. Doing the math with available data and guesses, if we did manage to cut our wage bill by 50% for this season, we are currently somewhere in the -10m to -15m range, so we would have to bring in around 30m profit on player sales in June. (PSR Target -83m for 22,23,24) If we did that, we would be in a much better position for the 2025 (23/24/25) PSR reporting period, as the worst year, 22, would be dropped from the calculation. That would give us roughly 71 m in wiggle room for 2025. If we went back to revenue levels from 2023, we could live with wages of 150m and amortisation of around 50m per season. However, that would put us at around 85% of revenue spent on wages and transfers, which, if the new rules are adopted in 2026, would need to be under 75%.

There is no chance he has the work rate for Dyche.

If he goes in the PL he more then likely will end up in the same position as he was here, back up.

The justification by the appeal panel for reducing Everton 10 point deduction is in black and white and has been published. They have set the bench mark, not a chance it's double.

No chance the appeal commission already stated 10 is too much as you only get -9 for going bankrupt.

No one is paying 10m.....
