Thanks for posting! Have you read my DM yet? ?

Still £40k per week....£2m per annum. SL - you need to get better lawyers, Morris is using every loophole!!!

Gilmartin’s on more ??? You would think that any contract including a playing role, would have to count towards FFP.

@DerbyFan re Bielik post, looks like you are getting your house in order.

@Mr Popodopolous Derby buying Bielik for £10m, loaning Clarke. They’ve trimmed their squad but how do you think this looks from their FFP perspective?

Sir Les now weighing in. QPR have put a complaint into EFL.

Perverse

I know, it really needs a Prem club to go bust.

Feel sad for their fans, but I actually think we need to see a historical “big club” go. They have been mis-managed for a good few years now, mis-spent whilst in the Prem, and promotion in 17/18 in effect depriving another club a promotion. It’s harsh, but football and the EFL (and PFA) need to get a serious grip. There’s more than a football club at stake here, lots of creditors, who might also go to the wall because of Bolton too. Suspect they did business with Bolton in good faith.

Derbyshire, la la la, Derbyshire, la la la.

Kelly into 18/19 definitely....along with Reid, Flint and Bryan. 18/19 is gonna look healthy. Eisa into 19/20 definitely. Surprised Price Of Football putting out a table like that, knowing it’s not accurate. There are one or two clubs where we don’t know whether their owners are backing them for the full £13m or just working on £5m losses.

Looking increasingly likely. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17783753.amp/?__twitter_impression=true Magennis and Otzuner handed in their notice, but not accepted by Administrators. How does that work? We all moan that footballers have it easy, but in situations like this, they appear to be stuck.

Steak that looks like Putin!

Hengrove/Whitchurch borders for me. We used same definition.

The reality

I know they’re not big anymore, but this would be a significant club to go under.

So Derby’s £81.1m (if just Stadium) is way over with “depreciation”.

My thoughts for a long time. One big club to go to the wall, or Sky / BT to start paying less. We are positioning ourselves sensibly. @Mr Popodopolous pretty sure Kelly will be in 18/19s accounts....and that’s not just because it happened on 18th May. Think the England u21 tournament was a reason for getting it done and dusted (not pending).

West Brom have suffered from cash flow issues, not FFP previously, but having not gone straight back up, this season will probably see pragmatism, hence the rumour if offering Rodriguez for £5m rising to £10m in season 2, probably to get him off the wage bill. Gayle was only loan wasn’t he, but they get Rondon back....probably to sell. So I think they will be starting to adjust, like Norwich did. Swansea had a huge wage bill, so Dan James sale will help compensate that. Think they’ll be ok, but they won’t be splashing loads either. The appointment of Cooper suggests they go back to their old formula. @Mr Popodopolous will give you a better answer.

Nah, it’s so he can’t influence anything that might benefit Derby as he’ll have a conflict of interest and not be allowed any decision making!. ?????

@Mr Popodopolous any idea what went on between Bryn and Jason on the Fishing Trip....otherwise known as the EFL Meeting in Portugal?

Your comments re the projected accounts submission id the big flaw in that rule and one we’ve speculated a lot on here. If Villa projected a big loss, then their FFP submission might include a footnote that they’ll sell Grealish before the end of of their accounts period to comply. And to be fair, there’s nothing wrong with that, hence the flaw in the projected accounts rule!

Out of interest @DerbyFan, what is your reason for joining our forum? I understand posters of other clubs forums, coming onto OTIB to discuss players / recruitment, or best pub to drink in type stuff....but I’ve never seen anyone join to post about FFP....that’s pretty niche!

@Mr Popodopolous and @Olé Their method of accounting is gonna bite them in the arse (if they do t get promoted), maybe not this year or the next, but at some point those players are gonna be worth eff all and their amortisation impairment is gonna be huge. Perhaps Morris can sell the player’s houses and lease them back. It’s a dangerous game not straight line depreciating. I can see Huddlestone being valued at £10m aged 57, continuing to get renewals just to keep Derby inside ffp!

Mr P - you on fire ?
