Was he a FM wonderkid or is that another Beste? Sure I had one who was a left back and I haven't really played it in a good 5 years or more.

In the latest Totally Football Show podcast, Tim Spiers claims that “from what [he] is told, Wolves are not out” of the FFP front concern. There’s no way that’s still true after all the summer sales and savings on wages - is it?

Right after downplayed the penalty incident and said "Well Wolves fans loves a moan about the refs.."

Can't believe there's a fellow Wolves fan on one of my fave podcasts and he is ****ing me off everytime he opens his mouth about anything Wolves related..

By the way I presume he knows nothing in this regard. He's reporting on Spurs now and never even had any decent insight info except what the club fed him when he was a Wolves reporter.

 

[Loojay]

How much did they offer for toti?

Not enough by his form this season!

 

[Yduti]

There is not gonna be massive spending in january only deals about loan or small fee

 

[bod101]

We have it’s locked in bods safe

 

[Ian]

It’s probably more of a case of Fosun wanting to recoop sone more money.

Would anyone have an issue if we sold Neto and 3 fringe players for £80m and spend £60m very wisely?

Yeh I’d have an issue….. I’d like to see our best players playing for Wolves not other teams!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Laughable Spiers knows nothing. The nunes sale has more than helped us.

Big big offer for Neto to leave 70m+ Not happening

Add into that fabio and sarabia likely to be sold for combined 25/30m and over almost 180k a week off the wage bill.

 

[lets all have a disco]

We won't be out of the woods yet for FFP purposes due to the simple fact that we haven't released our losses from last season yet...... hopefully it's covered with sales from this season...but until the figures are released we won't nw....

As far as sell to buy is concerned, we still have a few avenues to use without effecting the first team... Guedes, podence, Silva......that will give us funds January and next summer....

 

[JadeWolf]

Isn’t FFP on a 3 year rolling scheme? So last season’s money wasting will be on the books for last season, this season and next season.

Yeah, if there is a problem it will be for the 3 year period behind us, though I think that will include this coming January window.

After this gone summer, going forward we should be in fairly good shape.

Take into account Fabio, Sarabia some others maybe moved on for hard cash

Good luck with that then.

Only way that’s going to happen is if we start qualifying for the champions league and challenging for trophies.

Until then we have to be realistic and have a good scouting network to replace the players we lose with other gems who cost a fraction of the price.

 

[Matt]

There’s just no way we still have immediate ffp concerns. It goes against everything coming out of the club since the Nunes sale. The late transfer dash, Hobbs’ interview, O’Neil changing his tune on incomings when talking about January.

Spiers is baiting us by saying if we receive a big offer we will have to consider it. (Stating the obvious) Total non story.

So when fabio is sold or whoever else. There is no issue. Creating noise out of a positive time. Spiers the snake


Don’t forget Guedes and Podence will be offloaded at a later date to deal with FFP. This is all in hand.

We obviously tried last summer to clear the loses in one foul swoop , so it wouldn't effect us over 3 as such.....we probably took the gamble with the promoted teams being weak....hence fosun saying we might be able to spend a bit next summer.......clear say 100m in one summer....as apposed to 3 times 35m....or 2 times 50m..

We have to sell fabio for 15 million to break on him for ffp purposes.

Many rumours few clubs was willing to offer €20m euros but the offers never came. I’m sure we will find the right solution.

Saudi clubs step forward lol

 

[JJ59]

Jack Clarke Sunderland winger being linked with us and a clutch of other PL teams.

 

[AndyY]

Right but he explicitly said we aren’t out of the FFP woods just yet. That’s the point I have issue with.

I’m sure we sell Neto in the summer (and my username becomes obsolete) but we can’t still have an FFP issue with all our sales, minimal purchases and savings on wages. Also, didn’t Hobbs say we had some money for Jan if needed?

I think that our FFP situation depends on how much support Fosun are willing to put in and what our current losses are.
ISTR that a club is allowed £105M losses over 3 years if the owners are covering that, but if they are not then the allowable losses drop markedly. So, if we are not virtually breaking even or better and Fosun are not putting cash in the bank, we may still have issues.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Jack Clarke Sunderland winger being linked with us and a clutch of other PL teams.

Would love this to happen.

It's ridiculous how good he has been in the last 18 months, but gone up a level this season.

Needs to play on the left but would bring us Neto qualities with his dribbling/pace.

Would be a quality addition to be fair. Pricey. Bowen was worth it mind you. Look at the potential.

However QPR will be selling off Illias Chair and Chris Willock off cheap 3/4m each. Their fate to league one continues. Wouldn’t mind a gamble on one of them. Low risk

Like i said yesterday

 

[StaffordWolf]

How are Villa, Bournemouth, Forest etc going to cope. Surely they'll need to make some big sales in the next 12 months to recover some costs.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Interest in Dia is off, talking ongoing for Bueno new contract

 

[lets all have a disco]

Loan with obligation I reckon for a forward....Boulaye Dia again maybe....

Surely we must try to get Serhou Guirassey though as his release clause from Stuggart is active in January...15m......... obviously there will be other suitors.....

If ever there is a striker we need it's Guirassey..

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Think Neto injury should be a reminder that we definitely need another body up front in January....it can easily fall apart if we get a couple of key players injured......

Definitely need one but 2 if we move Sarabia n Silva on...

Why aye we got a January thread yet....

Some may say what's the point.

 

[SuperGran]

Not dia according to Percy which is hardly surprising given his antics

 

[lets all have a disco]

Some may say what's the point.

There will be ins and outs I reckon in January....

 

[SuperGran]

Don’t look good for Fabio at this point

Guirassey is also out indefinately due to a hamstring issue

 

[lets all have a disco]

Just noticed that.....he is on fire isn't he.... mentioned him in the summer as the striker we needed ....

 

[JamesWolves]

Yeah he has. The question is if that same form continues when he's back or gets a move to a bigger side. Or will he vanish into the ether like Piatek etc.

 

[SuperGran]

So what was Spiers on about then? Is it coincidence that this article has come out following his comments yesterday

 

[lets all have a disco]

Release clause is active January.....he has definitely added the goals to his game this season....but remember watching him last season and thinking he is the type of physical striker we need...

I believe it's £45 million without owner investment??

 

[NottsWolves]

One a respected journalist who rarely tweets or releases information without being certain

Another a click bait journalist who has to fill pages.

 

[Chris H]

Haven’t heard what he said in full, but the quote here was that wolves aren’t out of the woods yet with FFP.

Percy said “Wolves remain under temporary restrictions and will not be spending big in the January transfer window”

So they don’t exactly contradict each other, it’s just Spiers slant was perhaps more negative in that we’re still under review and Percy was more about us being on track to come out of the other side okay.

 

[thommo1984]

Don’t forget Guedes and Podence will be offloaded at a later date to deal with FFP.

We'll make a loss on both of those though.

Also not sure why people are having a pop at Spiers, as he was right? We're going to have to be careful in January, which is exactly the same as Percy has said.
