The problem with this is how it accounts for transfers. The positives under PSR are that the transfer fee gets spread over the contrary so spending £100m in a season is only £20m across 5 years in the accounts. The downside is in the future years when you want to sell a player at a loss - it impacts on PSR in the year of sale.

 

It seems pretty scary to apply 70% of revenue to wages, transfers and fees without huge decreases to wages and transfer fees. Take 2021/22 for example, we pulled in around £200m in revenue (off the top of my head) - 70% of that = £140m. Our net spend was £50m + whatever fees on top of that would have left just £90m for wages and yet our wage bill was double that.

I agree, and in short I suppose that's almost the plan, to reduce transfer fees and stunt the growth of wages.

 

It will create quite a stagnant pool of the larger clubs having more spending power, but should at least be easier to track and follow as a fan.

 

Personally I'd advocate a fixed squad wage cap based on the leagues TV deal revenue, and any extra spending should be fully backed by money set aside by owners in a fixed pot held by the relevant authorities.

 

Annoyingly, this is a massive case of fixing the stable after the horse has bolted and I don't see a remedy that fixes the issues already in place. Bigger clubs will always have an advantage, and in reality they should do. The tricky bit is ensuring safety of a clubs future without stunting ambition.

Great for owners though. 20% profit leaving the club to shareholders? What can possibly go wrong with that

Nelson, Braybrooke and Alves to be our star boys in the Championship next season :thumbup:

Looking forward to Zach Booth coming back too. Briggs will challenge in the next 18 months as well.

Here's a pic of his Dad driving to Seagrave to see his son play:

Yeah - I screwed that joke up didn’t I ?

I’m sure that there were some episodes of wacky races that would be quite a good representation of this years championship !

Booth a interesting one, he's played a decent amount of minutes in a poor FC Volendam side, its been a really good loan for him.

 

The academy could be our way out of this mess.

Back at it tonight against Man City U21's

 

Shame it's a 'sell out' I know i've said it before but always a bit sceptical as it's shown as a sell out pretty much from the day it went on sale. Wondering if it's more of a scouts only type thing?

Might well see Alves and Braybrooke for the first time together this season. They'll still be available for squad duties tomorrow so can see them both featuring tonight.

Possibly a silly question but will the doors be open for fans to attend?

Yes 

Adults £50 Children £50 and OAP's free as long as accompanied by a parent ...

 

Joking aside I'd like to think it would be priced sensibly to allow MOP in to see what the Academy boys have to offer 

 

Could still be moved if the 1st team are involved in the play offs ( guess the womens fixtures are already set in stone so there is no conflict ? )
