GrahamC Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Will be very interesting to see how the new season unfolds for them over the next few weeks. Their Turkish owner is promising 10 new signings before it starts & unlike Cardiff who look to be shopping at Aldi, it looks like a lot of players with decent CVs are arriving, mainly it has to be said, from Turkey or having played in Turkish football. Ozan Tufan will be the first, 65 caps for his national side, had a short spell previously at Watford, cost Fenerbahce 7m Euros. 2 ways to look at this, there’s a month to go before the season starts & none of them are here yet, so high possibility they will need time to gel, but the impact of revitalising a club that was floundering under Allam might see them take off from the get go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a team is another. Much depends also on who is actually doing the recruiting. Ask Mark Ashton, who signed around twenty last summer, after which Ipswich finished lower than the season before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Sorry if I am missing the obvious, but why does a new owner give them the ability to spend, spend, spend? Is there something in the transaction that counts towards FFP? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is because they have build a tonne of FFP headroom over the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame you can't trade FFP headroom, like carbon credits. We could buy some off them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hull rumoured to be losing Honeyman to Millwall. I know they exercised his option, but he’s the heartbeat of their midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good signing, Millwall are certainly changing their approach a bit, broke their transfer record last week (still only £1.7m) for another midfielder too. Hull are now being linked with Jean Seri, ex Fulham, who cost them £25m, definitely a complete transformation taking place up on Humberside.

Article on Rosetta this morning, saying he’s realised everyone is going back 3/5 so he’s having to tweak…Honeyman’s energy suggests he realised you can get bypassed in there without legs.

Another slightly more realistic idea could be to carry forward and back headroom- profits- for example if you were within FFP by £10m to a given period, carry that profit or a portion of that profit forward to a period to give compliance- provided it doesn't tip that club into breach in a subsequent or prior period- hence why a portion of it rather than the whole thing. Talking about profit but by this I am not including profits on sale of property or fixed assets- player sales only or operating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
