They will not risk any FFP buying throwing heaps of cash at it, there is money to spend, but it has to be right.
It will not be the Ipswich and Wigan method, which has been said right from the start. By the time of the end of the window, I believe will we have a good squad in place.
Would we be in breach of FFP does anyone know?
I'm not saying that's what the owners should do as it's a lot of money, just a hypothetical. It's certainly something I would do if I had the money and owned the club.
They know they need to strength, they know the positions, they have the money, and the players we are looking at, are not cheap options.
It is about getting the right players in, on the right deals for the club!
In that example we could pay Kirk his wage for the remainder of his contract as an example and then he's off the books and we have no ties to him. I suppose as you said, it's down to the contract.
Have any teams actually been promoted from this league in recent years without breaking ffp? Surely Ipswich, Wigan, Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday were all over spending based on their squads?
I don't know enough about Plymouth, Blackpool, Barnsley etc to know if they went up with the books balanced.Ipswich and Wigan probably did spend more than 60% of turnover on wages (Ipswich because they spent so much and Wigan because their turnover will have been lower than those clubs) so their owners would have injected equity into the club to cover this.Also worth noting that if you sell a player for a fee then that can also be used above the limit, so if any of those clubs sold a player for a few million that would have helped stay within the rules
I’m not sure the EFL leadership is fully against parachute payments, just thinks that they are way too high at the moment for clubs relegated from the Premier league and more of that money should be distributed to the rest of clubs in the EFL0 -

Even I, for a couple of weeks after a tortuous takeover was confident. I am deflated already and expecting another same old same old season...
A mantra chanted on CL many a year, "it's the hope that kills you", applies yet again.4 -
I see Bristol Rovers have signed Jack Hunt, they're building a decent squad there.3

Regardless of your views on, well pretty much everything, 23 days (and counting) since our last signing is somewhat alarming especially when we have dropped points in the last 2 games when seemingly points were there for the taking.7

The Championship will provide teams that are relegated from England’s second league with 11.1% of the Basic Award payment that is given to Championship club for a single season.League One provides clubs that are relegated from England’s third league with 12.6% of the Basic Award to League One sides for a single season. League Two provides 100% of the Basic Award for the first year following relegation and 50% in the second year.
I've seen the above quoted on a number of websites @PragueAddick not sure how reliable it is though0 -

Didn't we cut loads of costs in January with the excuse it'll help us in the summer? Laughable to hear the same old excuses in the summer being trotted out like clockwork.10

I don't expect us to spend another penny on a transfer fee and it'll be loans the last couple of days of the window. Not ITK we've just seen this a thousand times before. We don't owe these new owners anything, they need to get us on side. We all heard that there would be more action than words but the silence is deafening.17

Early signs showed we could look forward to more than that, I understand people's frustration, especially when the points have been dropped because of the lack of the players we need.
A little under 2 weeks to go and I really don't want to see no super duper phone bollocks again. It will be extremely underwhelming2 -
Unless a deal is done but not announced another weekend without enough options upfront beckons.4

Thought someone in the know claimed we were meant to be signing a striker before Saturday, have we and I missed it? I think the deadline for him to play on Saturday has now passed.4

Could definitely do with chucking out a statement about the owners’ plan. I get that they don’t want to make grand Premier League claims, but if they’re playing a sensible long game then say so.5

Seeing people mention Andy Carroll on twitter, if we signed him I'd genuinely be horrified.
Rotter of a bloke, woman basher, shite at football and a proper sick note.
That would be one of the worst signings we could make imo.30
