??? bit early to be drinking isnt it yam-yam.
I heard it from a good friend who lives in Ryton and works for the club. And if anyone asks, Jim the gateman lives in Wolston.
You live in Lspa don't you torchy? They are going to go up next season. That will be two local clubs just 2 divisions from us. Apparently, because of Scottish connections we have Boyd all but signed and one or two others on the way.
How are we getting it past the FFP rules then?
Of the ex-Gers brigade who could join I think Barry Ferguson is a more realistic option in terms of who Pressley is likely to go for. Him, Fleck, Webster, Boyd...a Rangers version of what Strachan attempted at Middlesbrough a few years ago.
I hope we are not going to just sign Scottish players as they are very hit or miss when we do, for every Gary Gillespie or Ian Wallace there is a Sandy Robertson and Jim McInally.
To be fair, our signings tend to be hit and miss regardless of nationality.
As in the Barry Ferguson who's managing Blackpool? :thinking about:
I take it you either know how much he wants and how much we have to offer him then?
Either that or you're trying to piss on anything remotely positive, as per usual.
Why is being realistic wanting to piss on everything? Do you think I am happy with my club being in Northampton? I am not living the SISU dream.
2,000 tickets a game @ £10 x 23 games = £460,000
FFP rules allows 60% of income to be used on transfers and wages. This gives us about £300,000 to spend on transfers and the wage bill for players not covered by the academy and age rules. So we have about 6k a week to put the whole squad together.
What other income do we have? We can't rely on getting Arsenal away every season.
Now if we are at the Ricoh next season it would be a different matter altogether. They could budget on 10,000 a game. We would have £30,000 a week to put a squad together. Then yes I would believe. But where do you think we will be playing. Not wanting to piss on your chips at all. But we need to be realistic.
Hope we sign him!
That's not being realistic though Astute. Its being negative.
You bring up the Arsenal game and rightly say we can't survive hoping for that game to occur every season. But you can't then ignore the fact that it did happen and will be included in our FFP calculations next season along with that one off sponsorship. We are likely to have made upwards of 500k on that match and using your simple FFP calcs above that boosts our wage potential considerably.
If Boyd wants to come to England, in League 1, then we have a good a chance as anyone to sign him.
But what Edgy is trying to say Astute is that there is no need to ruin every thread with the sane repetitive bollocks that we see on all the other threads and Edgy has a point, don't take it the wrong way anyone could have mentioned FFP, but on this occasion you did..

So being realistic is all about ruining threads? I have heard it all now.
Sometimes what you know is best kept to yourself Astute.

What Astute constantly seems to ignore is that the owners can put equity in to increase the wage fund if they choose to.
I do get the scepticism of that though, but people continually misquote and misunderstand how the FFP (SCMP) works.
Great business plan that.

I know....
If only we could have our own stadium and access to some commercial revenues to negate the reliance on an owners money.....
