That’s now 26 apps for us, when does the option become an obligation again?

5 subs Enzo. FIVE?? That’s insane 😂

Might be going against the grain here but don’t think Daka played too badly against Norwich. Didn’t get involved much but our strikers rarely do these days. Cannon likely still injured, and Vardy better to come on for the last 30 mins imo. Would start Coady over Faes, but imagine Enzo is worried by the lack of pace in the back 3 then. Hermansen Faes - Vestergaard - Doyle Ricardo - Winks Fatawu - Ndidi - KDH - Mavididi Daka Stolarczyk / Coady / Justin / Hamza / Praet / Yunus / Wanya / Iheanacho / Vardy

Covid losses apply to 19/20 and 20/21, which is taken as an average for the purposes of PSR. So £105m permissible losses for (avg. of 19/20 & 20/21), 21/22 and 22/23. The next 3 yr accounting period is 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24, with permissible losses of £83m.

The good news just keeps on coming. The EFL are gonna absolutely have us next year

With everything going on with Transfer embargo’s etc. the one shining light if we don’t go up is we will get to see much more of the likes of Nelson, Wanya, Alves, Braybrooke and Briggs in the first team next season!

Does seem premature. Giving us a transfer embargo for breaching rules we’ve not even broken yet. Hopefully the EFL have messed up here. Although they do seem to be going after us with extra vengeance. Probably because we’ve embarrassed them!

Yes very true, will edit my post as that could be misleading. As you say still likely to represent a huge loss after allowable deductibles, which will make it very challenging for us to be compliant for the three year rolling period ending 2023 and again ending 2024.

Exactly this. And in our case 21/ 22 we lost £92.5m overall (will be less for PSR calculations due to allowable deductibles. But will still be a huge figure). Where we signed Soumaré, Vestergaard and Daka and didn’t sell anyone for significant amount. So every three year period that includes that one, as per the two highlighted above, we are going to really struggle to fall under the £105m threshold. (Will be even less for next year due to 23/24 being in the Championship). Including the current three year period up to last year, 22/23, Which includes massive sales of Fofana and Maddison.

Would also argue this is why we need to increase our commercial revenue, so we can spend more in the long run. So the Stadium expansion needs to happen - which would also be exempt from PSR calculations, now we have planning permission!

Surely Chelsea and Man City get the book thrown at them based on this when their cases come to be heard.

taken from BBC Sport… Nottingham Forest will have seven days to appeal their points deduction to the Premier League. The response to the appeal has to be sent within seven days of that. A directions hearing to agree a date for the appeal to be heard will then have to take place within seven days of that. The absolute backstop date for the appeal hearing to be concluded is 24 May, which is after the final games. However, the guidance in the regulations is that ‘if possible’ it should be done a long time before 24 May and we have reached this point three weeks ahead of deadline so there is no reason why it should not be done before the final games.

Yes quite possibly… Hopefully following Evertons successful appeal, the Premier League have been more realistic this time around so there is less for Forest to appeal. 4 pts doesn’t appear over zealous, as Everton effectively argued.

Maybe the Premier League should implement a rule that if you lose your appeal the deduction is increased. Would put clubs off appealing and mean that it’s more likely these instances are solved during the season, rather than after the last game. Ie. If Forest appeal and their appeal isn’t successful, then the deduction increases to say 6 pts

Would start relatively strong, and then utilise the bench for once! Stolarczyk Nelson - Vestergaard - Doyle Hamza - Winks Fatawu - Ndidi - KDH - Wanya Vardy Hermansen / Coady / Faes / Justin / Albrighton / Yunus / Mavididi / Cannon / Daka

I thought Everton’s 2nd charge and Forests have to be finalised this season. So won’t start next season on -6. Although nothing stopping them getting another charge part way through next season as well

Imagine if we pulled the plug at the last minute. Would’ve screwed Everton out of £8m pure profit as well!

Now looking at this in terms of the minimum we can get away with next season and still stand a chance of staying up. As others have said likely to require a number of loans and frees, and academy players stepping up. May also need to resign some players to save on transfer fees for new players. Although this will need to be on reasonable/ vastly reduced in Vardy’s case, wages. Ultimately I see it as 3 x new signings / frees? And 2 x loans? GK - Hermansen/ Stolarczyk/ Ward RB - Ricardo / Hamza CB - Faes / Nelson CB - Vestergaard (re-sign) / Coady LB - Justin / Doyle (re-loan?) CDM - Winks / (Sensi - free?) / Braybrooke CM - Ndidi (re-sign) / New Signing CM - KDH / New signing RW - Fatawu / New signing (loan?) ST - Daka / Cannon / Vardy (re-sign) LW - Mavididi / Alves / Wanya

Surely this all also points to the importance of raising additional revenue. Especially considering infrastructure investments is deductible from FFP/ PSR, then surely we need to get on and expand the stadium. Will help us far more financially in the long run..?

Good point forgot Hall was an obligation to buy for this summer. As you say Broja and Gallagher likely to leave as well, so they will probably look to hold onto the likes of Colwill and Reece James as other academy players

Will be interesting what happens in the first month of the transfer window. Lots of clubs will be looking to shift players by the end of June to count in the 23/24 financial period. Chelsea supposedly need to generate £100m in sales in June alone to not fall foul of the rules. So Gallagher, Colwill and Chalobah could all leave as home grown players. But the issue is going to be almost all clubs will be doing this in June, so who’s going to buy the players? From ourside KDH is the obvious one where we could get £30m of pure profit maybe? Other than that Thomas and Iversen could generate a couple of million again as academy players, or Hamza perhaps? No one else would generate any significant revenue. Especially the ones we would ideally shift due to their amortised value Soumaré, Kristiansen, Souttar

Leicester City vs. Southampton Sky Bet Championship Tuesday 23 April (7:45pm kick-off) Rearranged due to FA Cup. Not sure if this will be on TV or not. 3rd last game of the season, before Preston (A) and Blackburn (H)

Does it work how it is intended to in the Prem this season? Ie. Breaches are punished in the year they occurred, so could we get a points deduction this season. If we are found to have breached the rules for this year? or does it work differently in the Champ? aprreciate this report is to do with last March’s findings. But what about this years submission?

Love the bloke. Everything he does oozes class. Cannot be stated enough how impressive he’s been this season week in week out, in a new position. My POTY I think. Our captain.

Coady and Nelson to get game time in preparation for one of them starting the next 2 league games. Stolarczyk Nelson - Coady - Doyle Hamza - Winks Fatawu - Praet - Yunus - Albrighton Cannon
