Spend Spend Spend

So we know we are in the prem next season.

We also know we need to Spend.

 

With proposed new sanctions fines not pts deductions. If this is sorted before the window closes what do you want us to do?

 

Obviously we need relegation clauses in wages and not over inflated wages as before.

Maybe you haven't heard but there is a ban on recruitment. Not from the board but the football league. Unless this is ignored or removed then its sell sell sell.

Ban is lifted if we are promoted, which we now are

Source that anything anecdotal written is going to be enforced by the PL?

[Gravel]

Buy players on Klarna and offer massive wages. What can possibly go wrong?

[Chelmofox]

Can we pay players in bitcoin?

It’s an EFL registration ban, not EPL.

According to press pundits, the EPL has yet to rule on whether to lift or uphold the contracts embargo.

If the embargo holds then no new contracts can be entered into, including for those players like Vardy and Ndidi and Lurch whose contracts are ending. Then, to help lessen the financial breaches which will bring their own sanctions then money is needed from player sales.

Would it come into effect should we get relegated again?

The whole thing is a bit of a farce tbh

[HybridFox]

Whatever happens we've got to sign Fatawu permanently. Takes priority over any other deal. He will be our star player

All players will have something in their contract about renewal

Those who are saying spend and worry later cannot possibly complain about Ruskin ever again? 
 

The reality is that we need to find a middle ground. Buy young players who can grow, a couple of stars and unfortunately be ruthless with those who are already at the club on mad wages (if we can even sell them).

Well Rudders has always failed miserably before repeatedly hence the numbers for Daka, Vestergaard, Soumare, Bertrand etc. so good luck with that

[Mike1983]

Fok all this fight for survival, I want us to have the mentality that we're fighting for the title. SPEND.

[SemperEadem]

Get a grip of the club in regards of the debt.

That takes the biscuit 

[Richard]

Praet, Ndidi and Iheanacho will leave. It's likely Doyle and Yunus won't be here next season either.

 

I'd imagine a left sided centre back, inverted full back, #8, winger and forward will be brought in but no more than that.

 

Basically whoever leaves will have a like for like replacement

Priority should be to keep Dufkin well away from recruitment and contract negotiations.  He has proven that he does not understand the Financial side of running a football Club.

[Stadt]

We succeeded in upsetting the apple cart because we were lean, sharp. It went pear shape as soon as we thought we’d ‘made it’. The line in one of the statements about our spending on the back of two European campaigns said it all. 
 

There’s talented players out there who don’t cost a bomb, use data and trust in smart blokes like Glover to find them. Big fee + big wages ≠ ability.

Won’t there be somewhat of a reset for us in this consecutive three years rule?

100% its not how much you spend its how you spend it.

 

I think Glover has done a good job so far, some shrewd bits of business.

 

We also need to lean heavily on developing our own, Barnes, Chilwell and KDH have shown how effective the can be.

 

We need to develop both for the 1st team and to sell.

 

We need to blood, Alves and Braybrooke and continue the development of Nelson, McAteer and Wanya.

Can we buy King Power International for a pound and sell it for a billion on something like the corrupt 6? Sell some hotels or something? Buy everyone through Leuven and loan them? Has to be some corruption? Who can we pay off? 

[MonkeyTennis?]

It's great to be going back up, but the club has completely ballsed up its finances, and it needs to be sorted out. Spend, spend, spend, and the casual approach we have taken to financial management has jeopardised anything that might be achieved on the pitch for years to come. It meant we went down (so it didn't even work), it also meant we are looking at repeated points deductions for the next few years, and it makes anything you accomplish look suspect. 

 

So I guess I'm in the 'be more cautious' camp.

[FrankieADZ]

want us to go back to the old model, find unpolised gems for peanuts then sell one for loads

young hungry players

[Foxin_Mad]

End of the day if we fully comply with this bullshit FFP bollocks we are going down, look at the teams this year, not even close to staying up with deductions for Forest and Everton, so I'd just tell them get ****ed. Sheffield Utd sold their best to comply with FFP and they are relegated because of it.
