By the end of the window we could have signed:
Denzel Slager

Dylan McGeouch
Dan Seabourne
Chris Dagnall
Blair Spittal


And lost:

Mathieu Manset
Adam Barton

For once I'm optimistic

Yes, I think the club will need the money from a sale of Christie to fund some of the incomings.

Other teams are interested in Dagnall so it's not a done deal yet.

I sadly think Christie will have to go too ... if that's the only main one out, bar Barton of course, which is no loss ... I'd consider that a good window too, assuming some come in too !

We are not under a traditionel embargo are we?
I thouht the embargo was because we don't meet the FFP criteria, so can sign players on one-in/one-out basis. I also believed we had a few signings 'in the bank'.

@ Godiva.........We can't "Buy" any players, and I think Celtic want min £250k for Dylan McGeouch...hence...No chance unless it's a loan, or a "Free" and the same for the others.....The "One in, one out" applies only to the "Non buy" players.

COVENTRY CITY boss Steven Pressley has opened talks with Celtic about a January move for Dylan McGeouch. Record Sport understands Pressley is considering a bid of around £250,000 for the 20-year-old midfielder. City are operating under a signing embargo but if rules dictate that a permanent deal can’t be struck this month, Pressley will still attempt to seal an initial six-month loan..........................................................................The link in revious post is broken, sorry guys.

It may depend on the wage and not on the price of th player.
A new players wage can only amount to 75% of the player going out.

If we have to lose one, Christie is about the one "star" we can afford to lose

The income from the Arsenal game should cover £250,000 and what they would have got for Christie if they would have sold him. And as they are covering all losses whilst in Northampton..........

Who makes up these stupid fucking rules, they make no sense apart from unnecessarily penalising a club and its innocent fans.
A club which has suffered the fate of administration should be offered a helpful hand rather than a kicking when its down on its luck.
A new players wage can only amount to 75% of the player going out................my arse.

I wouldn't be complaining, it seems to me that if the rules were being applied properly we wouldn't be able to sign any players at all, we can count ourselves very lucky as well as lucky that we only lost 10 points.

I wonder If the liquidations end up coinciding with the new May schedule for the JR hearing?

I thought we'd lost 20 points? 10 last season and 10 this season.

I guess we could use some of that 40 million we are going to get access to, in order to speed up getting us off the naughty step?

I'm exceptionally disappointed that the FL don't apply their rules properly and fairly, it would have been very easy of them to say the golden share could only be sold to owners who have the best interests of the club at heart and so we won't allow it to be purchased by an offshoot of the company that put us into admin, this would have meant for Appleton to have gotten the best deal for the creditors the golden share would have been sold to someone else. This of course needed to be said before Appleton chose his prefered bidder.

Regarding -10 points rather than (-20) I think actually -15 would have fit with clubs who have broken similiar rules, I feel conflicted about this, on one hand I'm pleased our club was punished less severely making relegation less likely, on the other hand it feels like you've just won a game from a penalty that everyone in the stadium knew was nonsense, this is worse than that however as this time the ref wasn't mistaken, he chose to give us the unfair penalty. So I'm conflicted, on one hand pleased, on the other hand it hurts the integrity of the competition and that hurts everyone involved in it including us.

Regarding signing players, similar confliction, 1) everything I just said above, 2) had we not have been able to sign players we would have been more likely to see the accounts, more likely to have moved back to the ricoh where the revenues were higher for ffp and if this didn't happen, we'd at least have more pressure on sisu and less people happily going to sixfields, but the season would have gone worse. But overall on that I'm pleased we can sign players but think we shouldn't be moaning about the 75% rules because actually we are very lucky we can sign them at all.

We were deducted 10 points for going into admin like everyone else

We were deducted 10 points for leaving admin without a cva, here we were treated far more leniently than any other club, -15, -17, -17, -20, relegation, double relegation and expulsion are the penalties other clubs received for a similar things. I'm certainly pleased we didn't receive those later penalties but we got away easier than everyone else despite the fact there was more malice in what our club did than anyone else and again for Grendels benefit while I'm pleased we were not punished severely this is unfair to other clubs, hurts the integrity of the competition and if we had a football league who did what was right we'd be playing in the ricoh now with new owners.
