Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

I'm sure Sharky knows, he knows everything.

 

I think what it says is if we don’t get promotion asap we will be in trouble in two or three years

 

Twice the length from any of the ends to the centre, thick twat.

 

I think the idea that we'd be able to sell 2-3 players a summer to turn us sustainable is an ok one so long as it works - if it doesn't, as you said we're a bit ****ed. But if we had to sell Oscar and Ingram next summer to bring in another 10-15m of transfer fees, plus not needing to add as much to the squad next summer, then that could be a model Acun looks to follow.

I'll be interested to see what Baz writes, but I think people are seeing Acun being prudent with FFP and being sensible and thinking that means we're literally at the limit which are two very different things.

 

I've never got the confusion over FFP but I may be wrong.

If we're losing say 20mil this year with fees etc then we can only lose 18mil over the next 2 years (or an average of 9mil per year)

Acun may think that without promotion we may be losing that per year with the wages he's paying out and not wanting to cash on on our assets like we have with KLP. And he may be budgeting 5mil in transfers in each of the next 2 years.

So yes we may be some way off 38mil losses this year but that doesn't mean we won't be in 2 years time.

Again, could be wrong and correct me if I am

 

It's what they've always been talking about.

 

It's about not writing cheques now that will screw us in the coming years. What it means though is that we'll be running at near maximum permissible investment in the reporting period, as some were suggesting was impossible a couple of months ago because they chose to believe Google saying Acun had less money than the Allams, as opposed to Acun and Tan when they came in saying they favoured buying City due to the FFP headroom leaving more opportunity for investment.

 

Twice half its length

 

Somebody will be along to correct you in a minute…whether you’re wrong or not!

 

He's not wrong.

 

Swansea couldn't afford to keep Christie and Birmingham let Woods go because he was one of their higher earners.

Any notion that they were cheap signings is garbage.

It's like saying Seri or Oscar we cheap signings

 

Oscar was only comissions and signing fees

 

Are you originally from The West Riding? You can always tell a Wessie but you can't tell him a lot.

 

...and the 7 figure annual salary on a 3 year deal.

 

Worth it already.

He’ll be gone for £20m if we don’t go up too.

 

Which makes the bed wetting over how much were spending seem all the more ridiculous, but 10 or so similar salaries puts us close to the permissible losses until that happens, or revenues rise significantly more than anticipated in the next couple of years

 

My brother used to wet the bed and I had to share the bed with him - if only we’d had a forum then , I would have happily accepted sleeping n the edge , literally , every night

 

The salaries definitely take us close to that £13m.

 

Factor in increased gate receipts, sky appearance fees if we continue on the upward curve... make the play offs more money...?

 

Tell derby that
