    Transfer fees aren't imcluded in FFP
    WAGES ARE
    not strictly true, the full fee won’t be counted this year but will be spread out over the course of the contract. what I can’t work out is if L1 is governed by FFP or SCMP. I don’t think fees are included in SCMP

    Striker and right back are apparently coming. We need to get two more out to get any more in than that whilst staying within the rules. So don't write that off just yet. 

    What rules are those please? FFP or something else 
    Too many internationals

    I thought the squad cap rules were removed at the same time as the salary cap rules (which were put in place during Covid). That limited us to spending £2.5m on salaries along with a limit on the number of players. The rules were later changed back to SCMP (FFP in L1 and L2).

    That's how fees are treated in the accounts, but only wages taken into account for setting the FFP limit, which is 60% of turnover IIRC, and can include equity investment. Outfield Squad limit is 22 excluding under 21's.

    Doubt we're near either limit, but I also doubt anyone on here knows what the wage/turnover figures are that are relevant at the moment.

    Squad limit numbers were not removed at the same time as the salary cap rules. That is a myth.

    Edit - I was in direct contact with the EFL last season who confirmed to me that the L1 limit was 22. I don't think it has changed.

    I can see it now - “We tried to bring new players in but they wouldn’t sign due to the uncertainty over our manager” . 
    There's no way the club will put out a statement like that & make our SMT look like a group of bumbling idiots. They'll probably just say that we tried but just couldn't get them over the line in time & make our SMT look like a group of bumbling liars.

    That's SCMP not FFP. It's why there's so much chat about how Chelsea are going to pass FFP regulations this year. I think L1 uses SCMP which is the 60% of turnover you were talking about

    No there’s still a squat limit but we’re not in danger of breaching that that’s for sure

    I don't believe the staying within the rules nonsense for a second.
    We've reduced the size of the squad considerably since 1st January.
    The only rule I can think of is their own self imposed budget, which doesn't feel like it's any different to Sandgaard's.
    Same budget, same strategy, increase revenue or slash costs to save @£5M/£8M a year and fund this through player sales.
    Therefore you must play Academy players asap in order to sell them asap.
    RD/TS/SE7 all seem very similar.

    Rumours on ittv that it’s likely to only be Dabo and Tedic signing
    Shit first window from the new mob if that's the case 
    Not signed enough players and have sacked the manager before the end of the window. This month couldn’t have gone much worse. Shame after some promising signings but they’ve fucked it up big time this month 
    Surprise surprise  :(

    The squat limit might explain why our players are not fit enough.

    Did Chem not take Manny’s squad place (albeit different position)? 
  • Can see us getting out of contract players in too. Quite a few still available.

    Unless something is happening late on that's 3 times now an ITK has been told a striker will be announced and nothing happened. Who's feeding the lies, Charlie? 
    Charlie told me my winkle was the largest he’d ever seen and now I’m worried he might have been fibbing


    Ahem, maybe start a new thread, members only.  :D

    What I don’t understand is why would Methven be playing silly buggers at this point in time?
    I assume he has told his money men that a top six finish is the minimum requirement. The way he appears to be going about things isn’t exactly conducive to achieving that objective.
    He is an arrogant buffoon - listen to his interviews.

    He will get found out and hopefully removed.

    Why, oh why then, did they buy the fucking club? One has to wonder what their true motives are. 2 months in and they have totally lost the fans. This isn't going to end well. Billionaires, AS,  my arse
    As I keep saying to give methven & the gang a wage while getting someone else to fund the running of the club. Of course what bullshit they've told the "investors" who knows ?

    Starting to wonder if most of the signings we’ve made were pre done by Gallen, and he ended up blowing the budget, funded by billionaires, lol, what a smokescreen that is to hide behind.

    We are NOWHERE NEAR FFP!

    I can't believe people still believe this crap
    Even if we were there's nothing to stop the investors inputting some cash into the club, if they wanted to or were aware of the fact.

    The over 21 squad limit is 20 this season, same as last season. 

    Keepers don't count

    Hector
    Thomas
    Jones
    Edun
    Dobson
    Taylor
    Camara
    McGrandles
    Fraser
    Kirk
    Blackett-Taylor
    Jayesimi
    May
    Aneke

    Dabo if signed

    That's 15 that count, so way under the limit. 

    I don't know if the 2.5m salary cap is still a thing

    unless the wages we are paying are championship level we can’t be anywhere near FFP limits. Our squad is small and we haven’t spent much on transfers fees really. If a L1 team is having FFP issues they’d basically need to be going bust 
    Only thing I can think of is that we are probably still pay the transfer fees of Jaiyesimi, Kirk, Stockley, Lavelle, Aneke as these are usually paid in instalments over the duration of the contract they sign rather than in one go. That (and the wages of those that are still here) might be having an impact now 
    those fees would have been amortised over the length of their contract anyway regardless of payment structure
    & I think (correct me if I'm wrong) transfer fees don't count towards FFP.

    The way this is all going I would not be surprised in the slightest if someone tried to test our resolve with a last minute bid for Leaburn and he went.

    The signing of Alfie was funded by a sponsor not our owners ( & apologies I can't remember who posted that but he confirmed it 100% )

    Think it’ll be Dabo and Tedic and one youngster on loan, based on what Airman was saying. Although actually he said two youngsters and one senior player, now I think about it. 
    Still think we need a dominant CB most of all.

    As Airman suggests It does seem like Methven and ( presumably) Leneghan deliberately mislead Reams on ITTV and Dubai on here that there are positive things happening - lots of money to spend, billionaire owners , strikers incoming frequently and popular ex managers in the running for the managerial post. 
    I’m not sure how sustainable this campaign of misinformation is and I have no direct knowledge of Methven but he certainly has the pedigree for this sort of activity. I suppose a few more chickens will come home to roost by Friday at 11pm. 
    But we're told he's never spoken to CM apparently. So who is the mole that's feeding the exact lines that CM wants pushed?

    Cardiff striker wanted to come but Cardiff blocked the move. Sounds like he won't be coming at this point. 
    From what was said earlier, Cardiff would let him leave if they could get Keifer Moore in. But Bournemouth dont want to let Moore leave so there we are.
