Go up, consolidate, rely on loans, give youngsters a chance and hope for a miracle. Or drop down in a much better financial situation and rebuild…. seems ridiculous as this was supposed to be the rebuild platform but looks like we’ve messed it all up again. Hope that Everton and Forest stay up and also get docked points. Battle of the rule breakers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out they can’t do that. Good job really, I doubt there is a plan. Plan? We can't even get t-shirt cannons to work properly on a match day 😆 They've got no hope of us plotting a sound financial framework for the next 12 months 🫠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t blame the club for being ambitious, the misjudgement is lack of foresight. In reality this season they’ve played a blinder, they’ve given us the best opportunity of getting ourselves out of this, hopefully if we don’t get promoted, sales of KDH, Daka will see us comply, but we’ll have to realise we’ll be looking at a long term plan to get promoted again.

Popular Post Matt Posted 6 March Popular Post Share Posted 6 March (edited) If and/or when we get punished i'm sure i'll be pretty pissed off but currently i'm struggling to get uppity about it based on; I personally believe we saw this coming on the horizon and tightened our belts somewhat, hence not spending in 22/23 and regardless of if we have or have not broke any rules or whether we are sailing close to the wind, most other clubs have quite clearly and blatantly over spent way more than ourselves. Because of that regardless of any punishment we might be given, other clubs might/should be punished harsher. They're blatantly trying to punish the 'lesser' clubs before looking at the 'bigger' clubs who quite clearly continually break all kinds of rules.

Fear Of The Fox Posted 6 March Share Posted 6 March It won't be long until the whole modern football bubble bursts into pieces. Ofc the usual corrupted suspects will blame the Qataris, the Saudis, some aliens etc. It took them 15 years to find out that Russians weren't angels while all this time they were happily accepting every kind of lobbying from them.

Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 6 March Popular Post Share Posted 6 March I’ll try not to lose my head but I tell you why I got fcuked off with the ‘we will be fine’ line. Because I care deeply about this football club, its effects on the local economy and local community. We’ve already had one instance in my lifetime where we had administration and fans had to club together in make it somehow still function for a moment. So when people have genuine concerns the club is being ran in a poor financial manner which could see us punished and directly affecting that community and economy being told ‘it’s all alright’ and ‘we will be fine’, it’s annoyed me. There’s harrowing similarities of Epsom ballooning the wage bill to chase after something. Sceptism is healthy and these owners in recent years haven’t been challenged on their decision making enough. It’s such a financial beast now that a set of fans and some very decent people couldn’t save it like we did last time. Aye it’s only going to be FFP and points deductions but it has the potential to snowball when you think that Aussie Bank is sucking up the parachute payments and future transfer incoming fee instalments. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, obviously KDH is our best asset, we don’t know to what level if any we’d breach. It does seem daft that if you’re relegated with a huge wage bill, and you can’t shift your players, you’re punished. Madders, Castagne and Barnes must have brought us close to complying though I’d imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 6 March Share Posted 6 March (edited) be nice if some of these journalist started bombarding the likes of Rudkin and Whelan with questions about how we came to this mess, it might force Top to act and hire an actual competent DoF. As for next season how many millions is due to come off the wage bill on 1st July? Not sure how much we'll actually need to sell Edited 6 March by Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is given the coverage we would most likely have clubs bidding low ball offers. Only KDH offers pure profit as an academy player. We already have a large overhaul job in the summer given players out of contract and little to no room to manoeuvre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudkin and the board should have been more aggressive after the season we won it. We should have start spending like crazy, attracting big names, keeping our star players. We would have been several times in Champions League and have 115 charges with a decision coming in 2077. Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
