Seems a few gaps in the squad, especially up front. All part of the rebuilding process though, hopefully we will soon see the younger players in our squad rather than loaned out across the leagues, and the long term plan will come together. We all love it when a plan comes together! Exactly how I feel about it...I feel as though we are weaker than where we were last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Like every year I am filled with excitement and optimism at the start. However I fear that we are a bit lightweight up front and I'm a little unsure about Webster and Hunt until I see more of them. I do think we have enough options and quality in midfield,but no direct replacement for Smith and Pack if they are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a forum, you don't agree with me..that's the point of a forum it creates discussion. You just can't stand it can you...someone having a very different view of how the club is right now. There's thousands out there mate. Not at all, I actually love reading posters like yourself, Thatch and Tinman. I disagree with almost everything the three of you write, so it's much more interesting to read. No complaints from me, just curious whether you're the latest reincarnation of a former poster with a very similar style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put if our average wage per player went to £15,000 a week with 22 players, you are instantly commissioning a 5million loss based upon last years turnover, this is without any other costs being accounted for. All very easy to commit too when it's SL's money. For the record i'm reasonably happy with this summers business, we could do with a upgrade in the goalkeeping department, but all things considered it have been a very good window on paper. Not to mention totally ignoring FFP, which seems to have passed them by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few clubs seem to do that too. FFP simply keeps the big clubs big and maintains the gap. If someone can display the financial clout to back a bid to gatecrash the top elite they should be allowed to do so in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do and the EFL must apply the sanctions at their disposal rigorously and without favour. Not that I have confidence they will. I agree about the impact of FFP at the level of Europe's elite clubs but at our level I don't support the idea of a free for all. That would attract even more dubious and incompetent foreign owners and put more clubs in danger imo. It was reported by the way that Abramovich was very much in favour of FFP as he thought clubs needed saving from themselves. They also need to resist pressure from fans to go on unsustainable spending sprees I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 This isn't strictly an FFP thread but I have a sliding scale for points deductions which nobody could quibble with in terms of clarity (getting clubs to vote for it maybe a different thing though). 3 year losses. If exceeded by 1 pound to 389k then maybe a fine. Thereafter? 1% is equal to 1 point. All the way up to 100 points... Final example. 390-779k 1 point. So on, maths and equation fairly simple.
