I still think with a transfer embargo we’d have a squad capable of promotion. 
 

it’s also one of the reasons why we shouldn’t let Cannon go.

 

Daka, Cannon and Ayew may well be our Championship CFs

Our psr threshold will be down £61m next season. Can’t imagine there will be a lot of players on 60k plus 

[Noahfence]

Need a complete club reset from TOP to bottom. I’d be okay slogging it out in the EFL for a while with a complete new set up. 
 

Will it happen? Lol yeah right 

[FosseSpark]

Get the plan in place now: 

We will have a strong spine of Stola, Okoli/Vest, Winks. Ex factor in El-Khannous and Fatawu, and just need to add to that. Having a decent crop of youngsters will mean we can use them but not over rely on them. Having players like Ricardo, Vestergaard, Winks, Fatawu, Ayew arond the squad will mean we have players who know how it's done.

 

Keep 20: Stolarcyk, Iversen, Nelson, Coulibaly, Ricardo, Okoli. Godsmark-Ford, Vestergaard, Joseph, Golding, Briggs, Alves, Monga, Cartwright, Winks, Skipp, Fatawu, El-Khannous, Ayew, Decordova-Reid

Sell: Hermansen, Faes, Kristiansen, Ndidi, Daka, Mavididi - circa £70m in

Release: Vardy. 

 

Bring In: new left sided defender, cdm and two strikers: circa £30m outlay

Bloody hell can’t stand the thought of dropping out of the premier league again.

This slump we’re in is just so hopeless.

felt really sad for the team and our home fans last nite. That 1st half performance deserved a win. Palace was egging us on than they just took the pee 2nd half when we ran out of gas & ideas.

Surely if we go down Ben Nelson is a starting centre back. Maybe I don't want to watch the same twats any more

Sad thing we’re stuck with a lot of them, we never seem to learn from previous mistakes. Vesty for example 3 years, can we sell him🤔 Will anyone want him 🤨 will he leave 🙄 

[Gazza M]

Think we need to start again like our Championship to league 1 relegation and move on 70% of this squad.

[Stevosevic]

Is someone able to explain the transfer embargo/points deduction narrative?

 

Understand it’s related to 22/23? But can they still punish us considering we won any appeals on that? 
 

Thanks

We can’t because we’ve given most of them long term deals on silly wages. I think about 5 players are out of contract in the summer. 
 

Who’s taking people like Vestegaard off us? He’s on about 50/60k a week and has 2 and a half years left. He probably will refuse to move again like he has in the past.

No way do some of those not get poached if we drop down.

maybe, but Khannous is young and on a long contract. Okoli and Coulibaly same. Selling the other 7 or 8 then allows you to make a decision on the others. Fatawu will be just back from ACL lay off so could potentially stay with us

Feel that as with Mads we have really landed a gem with El Khannous and he would be an absolute terror in the championship, but feel that now he has already proven the EPL is fine for him, he would have plenty of suitors and he himself would want to play at the higher level. Fatawu, you may be right.

Forget wasting another penny in this transfer window....need an entire new team to stand a chance....save the money for the summer

[Lambert09]

                    Jakob

wojo.    Nelson.   Vesty.     Justin

              Braybrooke skipp
fatawu.         Alves.           Mavididi

                     Evans (he’s a lw but surely better than Ayew)

 

 

This is the best we can hope for with a transfer embargo and points deduction.  It should be enough to at least be competitive but it will be a rough ride without a striker and better teams have stayed down

I'm going to look on the bright side... the Championship is a far better league to follow football in. Less corporate and sanitised. Matchdays will be more enjoyable.

It is but it's very different compared to the last time we were in it – kick off times a bit more all over the shop.

True- no idea why they've decided to chuck 3 games on at half 12 every week. 'Utter woke nonsense' and that.

[KFS]

If they chucked out the charges twice, what grounds do the EFL have to do anything next year?

[Mark_w]

1. Leicester
2. Southampton
3. Tottenham (losing play-off semi-finalists)

Nailed on

I think that would make all of this worth it.
