[The Bear]

Hwang out for 6 weeks

Similar injury to Cunha then.

 

[Tony Towner]

Bravo Jeff, bravo

 

[Del Woppio]

Gaz will be chuffed that his great work since Ipswich has been undone now that the magic no injury dust has worn off

 

[Jinky]

Was always going to happen when we didn’t sign an attacking player in January.

They are so, so naive it’s beyond a joke at this point.

 

[jd1981]

Can see the season petering out due to fatigue and injuries

 

[C.L.D]

The account stuff...I just feel like we need/deserve honesty, none of this opaque stuff and prepared lines to the media. We shouldn't have to rely on posters like PuntsWolf to work it out for us. Transparency!

I can not make any sense of the narrative that buying a player out in Jan '24 affected transfers to such a degree especially when considering wage size and transfers out last summer.

The January no signing stuff is just disappointing now. Everyone could see it. Gaz was talking about it. The form and winning papered over a lot of things that I just hope isn't more evidence the club getting rugged.

If Johnny was so toxic you could have sent him back to Spain, carried on paying his wages and still have the opportunity to sign someone else.

Maybe that’s why he’s not posting anymore…?

Even if you buy the Jonny stuff as being the forward deal breaker, that was based on a 17th place position when it was clear by the end of January our floor was at least a couple of places higher than that, thus funding said forward.

It was naive four years ago. It's wilful negligence at this point.

 

[The Bear]

Jonny wasn't a deal breaker on any possible signing. It cost us £2.3m as a one off payment of a years salary which we have written off on the accounts.

We will be easily clear of that amount thanks to higher than the predicted 17th placing (£1.8m per place) and extra money from live TV games.

It should be £10+m clear of any danger for PSR depending on where we finish. How much leeway that would have given us to sign someone in January is anyone's guess. With amortisation plus a years wages, probably a reasonable transfer fee.

 

[DogWeasel]

Its so strange that Fosun will rinse fans of their money but are so blase about losing potential millions in premier league positions.

 

[Tredman]

One involves them sitting back and doing nothing other than changing a few numbers. The other involves forethought and investment.

 

[Tony Towner]

I don't know where the quote Bear put up came from I assume LL? The one telling part of that was planning for 17th bit. Financially that's the correct thing to do given the strategy, not amending it once it became clear our floor was higher says everything. They are happy to just stay up this season. My opinion is that won't change next or beyond.

 

[Mel Evo]

Its so strange that Fosun will rinse fans of their money but are so blase about losing potential millions in premier league positions.

Even relatively small increases in recurring revenue streams will be a priority for the PE guys. Their resilience may be based on a massive fragility (PL status), but it’s amazing how happy folks are to overlook the big things in due diligence.

And price increases are forever

 

[Paul]

Its so strange that Fosun will rinse fans of their money but are so blase about losing potential millions in premier league positions.

So how many extra places would that 20 million plus wages player have got you? Two ,three places, so you'd have gained less than five and a half million, if he did that extra three places for the next three seasons after this one, you're on a winner !

Some of it was c+p from another forum, but it was Steve Madeley in The Athletic I believe.

It was all in LLs piece anyway.

It looks like PSR is going to the UEFA model of percentage of revenue rather than losses, so an open goal for whoever the new Vinny is and the 'loyal' fans on Twitter will lap it up without caring to work out that 22k 50 quids will hurt them individually a lot more than any material difference it makes to our ability to spend.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

I ain't an accountant, so know limited, But some reports had us only 2 million under, how true that was who knows, but if true proves we were correct in our dealings.

I was told last year that there would be investment for the season coming.

What worries me is a 3 year cycle of Investment, and sales due to FFP, I guess if we have good lockup runs, Make Europe it will strengthen our financial ability
