Redrascal2 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Just reading in the Post that Ipswich's new owners have given the manager and our friend Mr Ashton a reported £40 million pound budget for this summer for new signings. Is this why there had been talk of looking for new money to come in to City so the squad can get a serious boost in the transfer market. I wonder how much Nigel Pearson has been given by our wealthy owner to strengthen the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship and League 1 operate under different financial management systems, seriously doubt Ipswich will spend anywhere near that, even 8 figures at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Fast way to FFP sanction and League 2 Admin then... Still not quite Ashton's level but getting closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Aren't bonus payments, results based bonus's not outside FFP rules. Might have dreamt it, but if that's right they could still do a lot within the restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 This is probably Ashton trying to get a headline so that he can show it to prospective signings. He's not stupid and has his method, just a bit of a one trick pony with poor end results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Giving him 40 million at the level! The term, thats like giving a monkey a machine gun springs to mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Whether or not that’s true about them having £40m to spend this summer, putting in the public domain is pretty stupid. Any selling club, assuming a player’s under contract, should double the price. Did I hear £5m for Taylor Moore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No salary cap, was voted back out during last season. Possibly new squad limit changes this season. Lg1/2 were supposed to be going down to 20 (plus u21s) man limit, but appear to be going to 22 plus goalies plus u21s. No salary cap though. Whether they go back to wages as a percentage of turnover I don’t know. 1 hour ago, 1960maaan said: Aren't bonus payments, results based bonus's not outside FFP rules.

Not sure exactly what falls into that beyond the obvious bonus payout for promotion. Probably contract increases too??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
