What if Saudi have to admit the the pif is a government body and they are forced to sell their shareholding. those left in charge may not have the funds to maintain the outlay that the Saudis committed to - then the club possibly goes into a debt spiral. that’s effectively what ffp is supposed to prevent - we know what it really prevents

I’m still wondering if the relegation clauses aren’t repayable on promotion in the first season if I was an agent then that that’s what I would have asked for in return of accepting a relegation clause

It’s inconceivable that they get away with that excuse i believe that they are basing it on sheff wed some years ago having sold their stadium but the deal not going through till August. However they brought the income into the year ending June 30. However, they had all the paperwork in olace with sums agreed and deal signed. Forest won’t have that from spurs for Johnson

Was just listing those older players which are pure profit

JJ and Ricky have both been here longer than their original contracts it’s interesting that the rumours have now surfaced in the media within a week of our accounts being submitted to the authorities. Clearly there are leaks of some kind. We also dont know how much additional amortisation has been dragged into 22/23 to try and help 23/24. Good point - wonder if we’ve made an agreement in advance with a club at a certain price ?? Otherwise we will get screwed over because the player will decide on one destination to feather his own nest.

Ricky, JJ and hamza would also be pure profit

This is effectively a statement that ice is cold and water is wet We should have sold another academy product last august to project that we would not break championship ffp. But the club decided that they could push that back to June 2024 before the annual accounts are closed. that would have pretty much been the business plan but the efl would no doubt have argued that this is income on a promise rather than any certainty and wouldn’t suffice. Our arguement is sound - hence we’ve been supported. BUT it does pretty much confirm that we have to get in a big fee for an academy product or player into their second contract in June (or a player with a year or two left on their first contract for a very big fee). that’s not really news either to most of us.

You know that Nadine would love to have been able to do that though MTG just doesn’t give a sh1t - she’s completely doolally.

Well we and Leeds both dropped points in our games at the weekend so not sure why you included them …..

Firstly, kudos for going to Sunderland on a Tuesday night secondly, that’s normal on home programmes where the home club list their 25 man squad and also loads of U21 players that can be elected . The away team is usually just the 25 man squad. using the 4th fewest players reflects the coach’s confidence in them rather than the number available. Perhaps the very technical nature of our approach makes a difference to that but the numbers are there

Of course he was!

Good to have him back but likely will take a few games to lose the rustiness

Beginning to remind me of last season where the other teams fighting relegation looked like their lives depended on it. Intensity and commitment in their play. Meanwhile, we strolled around like we were comfortably mid table with nothing to play for. I appreciate that enzo wants us to be in control of games and that doesn’t necessarily fit in with that. However, at the business end of the season where the opposition either needs the points or views us as a scalp, I fear it will make life very difficult for us unless we manage to start converting our early chances into two goal leads.

We don’t have a small squad we have a coach who only trusts about 15 players The vast majority of this league would give their right arms for our squad depth ….

Can’t wait Two candidates debating with each other and the winner is the one who remembers who he is and who the other fella is …..

Pep has much better players who’ve been playing his formation variations for years. He trusts them to adjust. Hopefully if we get up then enzo can bed in some alternative structures

He’s drilled them for months to play this way. He obviously doesn’t trust them to play a different formation.

Was close 3-2 up and driving forwards looking for another are you allowed to do that ?

They were dreadful and we were hanging on says it all poor subs considering how leggy we were last twenty Marc for Stephy was screaming out to be made

Stupid challenge though

Make some bloody subs

Four times mads has picked out enzo !

Splashing some cash in the championship is a very different thing to in the prem my point is that if ffp is ditched then I reckon we would be a long way down the league ref our spend. And historically those that spend the least tend to be near the relegation area over a period.

Given that we don’t actually have a very very wealthy owner willing to spend on the club, is ffp such a bad thing for us???
