Letting Soyuncu and Tielemans go on a free was absolute criminal. About to do the same with N'Didi and Nacho

At the same time you can’t make clubs come in for your players. If we have high valuations that’s one thing but Tielemans and soyuncu we never got offers for.

Whilst I largely agree with sticking it to the establishment and the blob, Im not quite sure how a Labour government helps with this, they are all part of the elitist establishment and protection of this status. 

Labour are the incoming government and pressure needs to be put on them by the club, non-“big” clubs, and fan groups like @Foxes_Trust to understand the state of the sport and how to rectify it without fear or favour for the corrupt clubs.

Interesting how it’s a Leeds supporting journalist reporting it when we happen to be in our worst form of the season.

Soyuncu & Tielemans refused to leave and were determined to run down their contracts, how would you have forced them to act differently?

Who is N'Didi?

The player called Ndidi who plays for us has been a revelation this season and could make the difference betwen promotion or slumming it down in The Championship for at least another season, would you prefer that we'd have sold him for £5m (we weren't going to get much based on final year of contract and his form over the previous two seasons having been poor).

Iheanacho was expected by many to be scoring 30 goals this season, should we have forced him out for not much and potentially have lost those goals.

Hindsight is a great thing.

Not sacking Rodgers was absolute madness, I will never forgive those at the top for hanging onto that idiot for so long. I've had zero faith in the ownership of the club for about 18/24 months now.

Refusing to invest, when already breaching FFP anyway, Only Top and Whelan can do that. O_o

Where's the suggestion he's a Leeds fan? His twitter account has no sign of Leeds instead suggestions that he's a Cambridge fan? 

 

Or are we already heading for the Everton foil hat club?

Agreed. 

 

The club were in a unique position for a club of our size, in that we couldn't adequately replace any players of that calibre sold.

 

Selling Tielemans at his peak would've have been a damaging admission that we weren't a 'real' top six contender and, a ready made, affordable player to step into that level (and one prepared to play for a club of our size) would be almost impossible to find. 

 

Sell Youri. Damage ambitious brand. Replace with, say, Winks, and tumble back to lower mid table. It wasn't an easy conundrum tbf

[ConnFoxUS]

Surely @Foxes_Trust has some insight here, given their post-season Q&A with the club after last season’s debacle. Maybe they’ll weigh in with some knowledge of the situation?

You think the club will have given them permission to publicly discuss our finances?

You think the club will have discussed finances with them?

How is it beyond belief? We got relegated, something that would never have been in the budget. 

Because relegation would have had minimal impact on the 2022/23 accounts. That mess is to come in 2023/24.

Also, how have Villa not been looked at? They’ve spent a colossal amount of money since they returned to the PL haven’t they? 

Made pure profit on Ramsay, Archer, Grealish, Philogene, Azaz, Chukwumeka totalling 160m. 
 

Made money on Targett too.

But didn’t we agree payment in instalments over a prolonged amount of time and then leverage the instalments for cash monies so we could spend? That will affect the bottom line I’m sure…

That was for cashflow not FFP, we have both FFP and cashflow issues.

Athletico came in a season early for Soyuncu we turned it down, even though the manager didnt want to play him, I assume it was the usual "doesnt meet our valuation".

What would we be looking at as a possible points deduction? If we go up and get points deduction were likely to be coming back down again then. 

 

[HankMarvin]

How much have we actually saved including new additions.

 

Kieran Maguire Said at the end of last season 

 

"If it was in the Championship, realistically we would be looking somewhere in the region of £70-80m. The wage bill was £180m. Clearly that’s not sustainable and that would impact upon people.

Player sales? But I guess whether they’ve been enough is a key question - look at the donkeys still on the books who have been forced to into being used this season.

I believe their gross spend is over 1/2 billion, £350m net in 5 years. Their owner taking ownership of their ground put £80m into the pot, else they'd have been sanctioned during the promotion season.

Villa are definitely sailing close to the wind now. I'm sure Emery mentioned it before the start of the season during their summer business. All the clubs from 7th down to thr bottom three are tbh. The rules are there to restrict all those clubs from catching up too much and making them need to sell their best players. 

 

In fact Villa have just today announced a £120m loss for 22/23 period. Though there will be allowances in there that will likely bring it down a bit.

They reckon they are still within PSR though as their revenue increased substantially.
