Ska Junkie Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 And guess who's playing Derby at Pride park soon? 'We've got more cash than you. No actually, we haven't got any either'. Should be a laugh eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Good, wondered how long they’d last. Looks like Villa the only ones to win the “Ground Sale Gamble”, they got up whilst still having PPs. Wednesday, Derby, now Reading. Unlaaaaaky! 9 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted September 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Didn't they go a little mad with signings and wages recently ? I think it was mentioned on here it looked like they were "going for it". It's now that can all shout... and that's why Steve doesn't just go for it.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) This is a relief- the Reading situation confused me over the summer! I remember when they were released from a soft embargo under the ahem 'governance' of Shaun Harvey in Summer 2019, they proceeded to add the following- as per Wiki: For fees Joao Puscas On a free Adam- released from Stoke who were surely high payers. Rafael- from Sampdoria, probably not tiny wages? Unsure if they got Morrison from Birmingham before or after. On loan Miazga- though Chelsea help with the wages as we know. Boye- from Torino, again Serie A Pele- Monaco Loan to buy Ejaria They've had it coming for sure. I did wonder as well, based on a random Twitter post that I read whether it might be a case of they can sign their 6 players on EFL imposed limits and take the points or they can sign nobody at all in lieu of the points hit and just fill up the team with youth players when injuries hit- emergency GK aside, ie a full on embargo in lieu of points or their current embargo allowing for 6 but with a deduction.

This means it's a choice of 9 now or it goes to an Independent Panel, unsure of the timescale. They've surely breached after all.

awbb Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 2 minutes ago, SecretSam said: Let's face it, we're in no position to crow. Without our sugar daddy, where would we be? Running up debt, probably, and taking out loans to cover them. Which is basically what is happening now, only SL converts his loans into shares as opposed to us having to pay interest to banks or other "investors". We wouldn't necessarily go into administration or fail FFP though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgrsimon Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 We absolutely are in a position to crow because thankfully our owner has always played by the rules unlike those that are now reaping the rewards of bending/breaking the rules 11 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question really is given what Steve has ploughed in SHOULD we be more than a fairly solid (hasn’t felt that way recently though!!) Championship club or should we have had at least one go in the Premiership by now? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, like Boro, Barnsley, PNE, Millwall, Coventry, Peterborough, QPR (now) and several others we play by the rules rather than disregarding them for instant gratification. Even clubs like Swansea and Stoke are facing up to life without PPs and cutting their cloth accordingly. As long as people like Morris try to game the system the EFL needs to clamp down hard otherwise what`s the point? 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Really dislikable plastic club, too. Their fans have gas levels of delusion, too. Seriously think they are a similar size to the likes of Villa. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wonder why they are losing money? I know we are propped up by Steve but how would we compare to that? It's amazing that they haven't been stopped until now. You would have thought jumping from 76% to 197% would have set alarm belles ringing at the EFL? Utterly shambolic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Swiss Ramble at the end of last season. 123% apparently - see the centre of the image. You can see that's a pretty average figure as it ranked 13th in the division. Could be slightly less now though after letting so many go in the summer...maybe. We're likely to be over 100% regardless.

What other business can budget to spend more than their potential income? I can't think of any. 226% FFS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
