We have a new transfer strategy going forward. At the moment even with signing Elvedi, Scott we are still in profit
Ditto mate!!
I don't know why you keep ignoring what has changed.
Thats fair this is my simple conclusion below,
Sadly he isn’t!
Agree 100%
Correct, Newcastle who were profitable under Ashley are running worried on FFP.
Unless you bring through players with nil on the books, like the mounts etc, and sell big you lose out on profit.
Lol i was just going to post a rant on £7 mil add ons too
Problem with it being unlawful maybe that everyone agreed to it?
That's just not true though. Firstly it was hanging over Everton before January. Clubs have been deducted points for breaching financial regulations in the past - Blues, Reading etc. So the threat has always been there.
£105M losses over rolling 3 year period might be "allowed" from an FFP point of view but I suggest that our owners do actually want profit from their investments, particularly when they have bank loans to service across their whole portfolio. Wolves are not a vanity project for them. Yes, Wolves have to remain in the PL to retain/ add value but continually needing financial propping up just wont cut it (obscure reference to Sasa/ Kilman's barber on another thread!).
I completely agree you don't want to hover at -80 to 100m its not sustainable
It's going down the FFP route, so final point.
Some years ago everyone had agreed to a policy bar one.................a player named Bosman.
What a shock that'd be
Penkwolf used to post on here and usually spot-on
I can already tell you his figures are off slightly in my head. But not any further, its clearly a combination of FFP tightness (future turnover rules) alongside wish to be a sustainable business.
Same Everton and Forest currently bidding for players?
Don't know him personally, but saw the comments on Twitter, looked sensible enough to me.
Which?
Out of interest, what were his workings.

How do Villa seem to be never affected by FFP? Surely they can’t still be dinning out on the Grealish money?
4m loan fee for Danjuma.....it's hardly breaking the bank......
Next year accounts it'll be coming home to roost.
Let's see then, plenty if bids reported.
To add. Forest are seeking to selling Brennan Johnson to ease FFP.
Sounds like he's looking for "solutions"Matt Hobbs on the next few weeks of the window:
“We’re very busy, very proactive in trying to bring some players in and trying to move on some players for who it’s time for new opportunities. We need to be in a profit, so this transfer window we have to be realistic, it’s not a simple one for us. It’s a natural transition for the group, some players are coming to the end of their cycle with us, but we’re still active, trying to improve. We’re trying to get the balance of the squad right, both in makeup of age and personality – one the fans can get behind and one Julen is excited by and believes in.”

Yes, and we've sold our Brennan Johnson equivalent in Neves!
Quite. A lot of fans want big money luxury signings so they can brag about what their club has done but reality is that for the vast majority of clubs it simply isn't possible because the core business cannot support it. Our owners know this and that is why they are looking to grow in different areas. They will also be encouraged by buying players low and selling high (Neves / Jota) but they know it is a hard thing to do year in year out.
It looks like jonny phillips 50m net is actually underplaying it as we are there already with the sales so far. Needs a few more going before we can get any proper deals done but all seems to have gone quiet re the likes of podence, ait nouri etc. Whatever budgets we are working to, they seem to be self enforced rather than restrictions through ffp as we have covered that issue now.
Still doesn’t mean now it is being executed it has created an anti-competition element and monopoly.
Yep, agree.
You forget that sometimes you need to make hay while the sun is shining and with the amount of “dead wood” we need to shift, this could be a great season to build a buffer and cash reserve.
