  1. Thanks Dave, that would make more sense. It seems mind-bogglingly high for a 2nd tier club though but If a lot is conditioned and incentivised that would figure.
  2. Women's Team generally sits under a club Accounts wise and isn't that expensive. How many club takeovers have seen the Women's Team consolidated or outsourced? I'm not wildly bothered either way fwiw but it is hardly unprecedented. Anything is saleable at the right price..albeit one that sticks out like a sore thumb is Ipswich. Championship,40%...£105m. Very very optimistic for an ROI. Either way the Lansdowns have (IMO) run their race and in particular Jon Lansdown and Tinnion in their current roles neither have it, nor will ever have it and Manning should be on very thin ice too.
  3. Can we square the circle? Goes between...? £3-4m in the combined Covid years. (This is before known Covid add-backs and bizarrely a possible Allowance of the debt waiver). Perhaps £3-4m in 2021-22 (again not inclusive of the £2.5m Covid permitted add-back). Then £15m in 2022-23?? I accept you spend more on Allowables post Promotion and Category One helps too but? That being the case their Projected deficit from the Written Reasons is reduced from feared numbers this summer. Down to £6-11m and maybe less, although who knows if some of these were one-off costs that won't be reflected this year.
  4. Had they followed the PL formula, Nottingham Forest would have got 13 points according to this and Everton 9 or 10. https://www.footballinsider247.com/nottingham-forest-richard-masters-wanted-a-13-point-deduction-kieran-maguire/ Probably less the 2 for mitigation? I like the idea of 6 for the baseline plus 1 per £5m..it provides certainty. Either way the process lacks a floor, and appears to be in the lap of the Gods somewhat.
  5. Oh wow, no wonder Nottingham Forest ran aground last year albeit the numbers Provided for in the FFP add-backs appear to he all over the place?? £15m in Allowables costs up from £6m? Some of the numbers in there are quite baffling, to a degree for Everton too.
  6. Does anyone on here play it? It is FC OD and latterly 20/20 in the main countries and in the next tier down I believe it is OD and 20/20. In the English League of course. FC- First Class OD- One Day I've dipped in and out since mid to late 2000s. I nearly ruined my club financially a few times on there..I wince when I look back at some of the spending and although some were pretty good players I didn't half make big financial losses, been hamstrung for years. I'm Tier VII (7) FC, Tier IV (4) OD and V 2020. Fairly middling probably. I would look to build with young players but and I am to a degree but you have only 10 Nets available Training wise.
  7. Would probably be a mix of Ashton Gate Limited and some ie tickets by Bristol Sport but mainly the former IMO.
  8. Those who know more, did we not go into Administration? 1982..reason I ask is that some of these who went in seem not to have had the hardship and lingering legacy that we did. What was different?
  9. Some clubs have been serial offenders looking at that. Bradford and Portsmouth 3 times. Bury likewise. Aldershot, Derby, Darlington, Port Vale, Luton, Crystal Palace, Rotherham twice apiece. First points deduction for it seemed to have been 2004.
  10. A list albeit not a graph/chart. Unsure if it is exhaustive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_(British_football) Both the year and the League they were in. FFP arose in full a decade or so ago. Whether it works is a wider debate but I do hope the Football League seek to charge forward and refer this year. In respect of solvency etc, some sort of naturally generated Cash Breakeven rule or Escrow probably the best. Have to be careful with balancing the 2 given what e.g. Man City, Newcastle, PSG could hypothetically throw at it.
  11. Yeah definitely an element of Clickbait but given that PL or a range of PL clubs are looking to change the rules mid cycle I don't think we can rule anything out. My position remains as it always has, which is that the current rules should remain in play next and the following season and the new rules come into full force come summer 2026. Albeit the 3 year assessment ending 2025-26 still takes place in 2026-27. No Loss Limit adjustments, let the chips fall where they may.
  12. Huddersfield. Some gains that won't be repeated such as a 2 part staged insurance payout, some sort if debt writeoff (surely excluded for FFP) and £8-9m in Player Sale bet Profit. Their Academy is now a Cat 3, surprisingly bumped it all the way down to Cat 4. £3-4m maybe a bit less in Allowables per year.
  13. Vestegaard, Thomas (Loaned out), Ndidi, Praet, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Vardy all out of contract. No sale potential there. Doyle, Fatawu, Yunus- all loanees. No sale potential there. No Fixed Asset escape route. Would it be intriguing to see how it plays out if they missed Promotion and fell under full EFL jurisdiction?
  14. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-transfer-sales-efl-9149611 Wonder what the Break Even Point (Impairment permitting) is..and the 30th June ticking clock. Iversen- £0 Justin- £1m maybe Nelson- £0 Faes- £9m Souttar- £10.90m Kristansen- £8.72m Dewsbury-Hall- £0 Soumare- £6.8m Daka- £9.2m Wonder how big their deficit might be.
  15. Why would Arsenal, Brentford, Brighton, Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham vote to change a model that should benefit them. Man City too- that's 7. Any of Burnley, Luton, Sheffield United. The unknown of Wolves..one hand big losses, other hand major sales, restraint and lost Lopetegui due to it.
  16. Perfectly put. I struggle to see of they could carry a majority to change it- as well as the obvious of Chelsea, the potential Man United, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa more than Newcastle and then the unknowns of Bournemouth and Fulham..I doubt any of Burnley, Luton, Sheffield United would vote to liberalise given their respective models, Leicester probably, Leeds and Southampton toss up.
  17. Found an article from a few years ago, interview with Mark Kelly and what we could learn from Birmingham. My suspicion is that they get more funding per capita in varied areas than Bristol not least as they swing politically a bit more. One of those supposedly important yet strategically so. Number of areas seem to get and it isn't altogether Party Political, ie party dependent, more goodies than us.
  18. That pertains to both Ashton Vale and now potentially the Sporting Quarter.
  19. What a load of shit some Bournemouth fans spout. Apparently their rise is "Roy of the Rovers" stuff. You'll like this @GrahamC think you've mentioned their Russian funded cheating before. Cheat FFP under a Russian, propped up in FFP Terms subsequently in no small part due to said cheating in 2015 ie Parachute and PL cash while still spending big under said Russian while latterly selling to a Yank who is richer. I'd love to know their mindset down there, they really do seem like pious hypocritical idiots.
  20. Let me get this straight, does this mean the Premier League may raise it and the League merely must apply the % rise? Does there need to be no mutual agreement here.
  21. Some key areas for Scott albeit it was only Luxembourg of course. That is a bloody good first start and yet not even a mention in the report.
  22. I'm a subscriber, I will mention that in the below the line comments.
  23. Scott made his first start for England U21 last night and he got 2 assists. However the Times match report was shit. Didn't even mention him save for the ratings..However it mentioned.. Madueke, Bing-Junior, Rogers. Bynoe-Gittens. Plus Sam Tickle as making his debut, Harvey Elliott the orchestrator, Lewis Miley injured, Mainoo, Lewis, Trafford called up to the main squad.
  24. Well just thinking of the issues we have had. Not just Council but local nimbies, spurious objectors etc.
  25. He is on Twitter and he is called slbsn, ie that is the user name. He is a former Man City Financial Advisor and he regularly appears on White and Jordan. I do totally agree with you, it's just a prediction by him. However I'd say that wouldnt suit at minimum Brentford, Brighton, Liverpool, Tottemahn. Then maybe West Ham wouldn't like it and Wolves made major cuts to comply. I think his thinking is that a critical mass may either fail or be hamstrung so tip the limit to this year and make it higher. PL Rules stipulate minimum 14 clubs must vote for something to change it. I also suspect some or all of Burnley, Luton, Sheffield United would also disagree with it. Leeds and Southampton who knows, Leicester I expect would welcome it. Arsenal? I'd be looking to keep the status quo until summer 2025 at the earliest, anything else is a huge risk of moral hazard. Possibly even until summer 2026 ie to run until 2025-26.
