It's not shite, The Athletic have confirmed it, also say Villa aren't interested in doing anything until the Summer

Was Paddy referring to the rumoured fee for Neves?

 

[Tony Towner]

Nope. During the video interviews last May he mentioned FFP.
He then did an interview with Timmy and said its not FFP.

Just have to accept right now, we will not do a Villa type spending spree. Its not like we are tight arses though. We do spend but we won't go out and sign a Coutinho or the like.

End of the day we are owned by investors and the majority of signings are done on what the return on that investment will be. Obviously we all hope we flip from the majority joining us where the ROI is future sales and is actually based on the money the club earns by being successful.
We are trying to build a brand and for that to be a thing it has to change to success (and successful for ROI isn't bring a 8th-14th Prem League club)

It is strange that some people treat FFP like that should be the clubs budget rather a limit.

Apart from Jeff's Summer FFP statement there have been plenty of noises out of the club including Bruno about us working to an inferred tight budget though and 3 cash loans against future assets in the last 6 months appears strange when looking at what the projected next accounts 'should' look like.

The concern I have is prioritisation of resources where we are spending it, Fabio being the poster boy example, but if the Trincao rumours are true that would be another. I appreciate there's some financial trickery with the Adama deal, but for a club which is cautious with it's cash, spending £25m on a player who doesn't make your best 11 if everyone were fit, probably wouldn't even be first choice cover and can only play 1 position seems an incorrect allocation of resources unless of course the purse strings are properly loosened in the summer

You just can’t look away from Mendes having a huge say in the dealings at both clubs. He’s basically fixing Barca, giving us some cash and players and then taking a huge chunk for himself.

Probably with some promise to Jeff that “take this Trincao bloke, you won’t make a loss on him and then I will keep sorting you out further down the line”.

I think he will be a disaster area there.

 

[WolfMan]

Short term bounce due to the feel good factor of the name followed by slide towards mediocrity as he blames any collective failure on the shortcomings of his players rather than take responsibility himself.

Quite possibly.
Also might galvanise them and get them at least playing to potential

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Can't really be much worse than they've had so far this season, they'll at least be nicer to watch.

 

[WolfMan]

He'll galvanise them but it won't last long term

 

[Throbber3]

I don’t know. There is a lot of talent there. If he gets them anywhere near potential they will climb up fast

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Shit have just sacked Ismael.

 

[Tony Towner]

Shame

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I thought he was doing a marvellous job.

Great work by them to give him a four year deal.

 

[Tredman]

Who are they going to hire? Emotional return for Darren Moore?

 

[Derby Wolf]

Warnock. Another student of the Albion Way.

He'd fit right in with Ismael, Allardyce, Pulis, Pardew et al.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They can’t afford to get someone already in a job. They are skint.

 

[Lupo]

Brucie to make it a WM hat-trick
