As per the EFL website, League One clubs operate under the EFL Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP), which dictates that player-related expenditure must not exceed 60% of a club’s turnover. These rules ensure financial sustainability by restricting spending to a percentage of revenue, including match day income, commercial sponsorships, and TV revenue. Key Financial Rules & Controls 60% Rule: Player wages must not exceed 60% of revenue. Relevant Turnover: Includes TV revenue, sponsorship, and gate receipts. Owner Investment: From 2025/26, owner investment (£1m+) is restricted to 60% of player expenditure. Relegated Clubs: Clubs relegated from the Championship are allowed a 75% wage-to-turnover ratio in their first season. Monitoring: The EFL monitors compliance, with potential for transfer embargos or points deductions for breaches. Transfer Fees: While there is no direct cap on transfer fees, they are often implicitly controlled by the need to stay within the 60% wage-turnover threshold. So, in essence it is there to be exploited.

I think the only answer is Top plows money into the club, creating revenue… My understanding is he can do this, but our wage bill needs to be absolutely slashed. Essentially our situation resolved this was because of the unique financial rules of L1 it’s there to be exploited. As Birmingham and Wrexham did. But, can he afford to do this?

I hate things like this. You can’t predict because the market is activated when the club is advertised for sale. All I’ll say is, I think someone fairly lucrative would. Our story, is a fantastic poster for any business/consortium, that’s the unique difference between us and anyone else.

I think he will if he’s got the available cash to do so. Perhaps this may act as a bit of a wake up call….. I mean this should have come 5 years ago….

Unfortunately I’m not calm, nor am I rational, and I use the word cųnt far too much, but I’m fully aware that I’m a cųnt myself, so I’m at peace with it. Plus if I say something hurty to someone, I’m more than happy for someone to say something hurty back.

I’ve signed up 👍

The piss taking started this morning in the office, so I’ve found the perfect remedy for anyone who is subjected to such piss taking, especially from fans of clubs who have never won the premier league. Call them a cųnt. For some reason HR aren’t too happy, but can’t have it all, and it soon shuts them up.

It is. Football across the world is on its arse….. it’s the worst it’s ever been both on and off the pitch since the “modern game” was birthed. It peaked in the 90’ and 00’s and ever since then it’s just gradually declined into whatever shit it is now. Off the pitch there’s even more corruption than before, with the elite getting away with anything, and clubs like us being hammered for probably lesser mistakes. Man City should’ve playing EFL football now, and since their charges a number of “lesser” clubs have been punished. Even on the pitch is worse, where are those individual world class players gone? Those that were clearly head and shoulders above the rest? I’m thankful for the era of the game I grew up in, the whole package was better, the football, the players, and even the big clubs had more about them than they do now. I’m fast losing interest in it, how many “good” games do we actually see? Even things like match of the day, I’ve not bothered with it for years, even when we were in the PL, because it’s shit. Football is generally not in a good place, who knows what the next thing is…… a closed shop international super league? I don’t think it’s as far fetched as some think.

To be fair at least he came over, at the very least that’s something commendable. He stood in the face of angry fans and took it, sometimes that’s all that’s needed in events like this.

Is it? Why?

I don’t disagree with you, and unfortunately, it all hinges on new ownership/investment because Top and King power simply are incapable of doing so… the worst case scenario is we go bust, but of course that’s still the worst of the two outcomes.

Because they’re not supporters, they’re sheep who are clearly not interested about the longevity of the club. What other answer is there if you’re willing to clap and cheer this?

That he’s been dreadful (having played barely any minutes) and he didn’t want to be here?

And how have you come to that conclusion?

Clap clap clap.

Yes… but again, completely missing the point. You can’t compare anyone to us, because we’re like no other. How many ways can this be said, NO TEAM HAS EVER GONE INTO LEAGUE 1 WITH OUR OVERHEADS. Our position is utterly catastrophic. The only remedy is new ownership, and unless that happens now, we are ****ed. That’s the reality.

I don’t think I will see Leicester play in the premier league again….. all I can see is us rotting in the lower echelons of the football pyramid, until someone buys us, or we go bust….

Some sad bastards will be to clap.

I mean, nothing surprises me anymore.

No comment 😶

Look how pathetic they look though….. We’ve just been relegated and they’re stood there looking like a group of school children who have just drawn a picture of a pair of tits in the lion witch and the wardrobe book, and are getting a bollocking by the teacher in front of their parents. If nothing else explains the complete incompetence of this board, I don’t know what does….. they just look like a pathetic ensemble of clueless idiots, deer caught on the headlights….. pathetic.

Which is what is going to happen under KP.

There’s a chance naturally. But Top has to sack Rudkin as a starter for ten, which he simply won’t do.

I’ve got a solution for you pal, **** off….
