I recall CoH saying their business model relied on player development and profitable player trading ,
So the "maximum losses" rules would in theory be irrelevant if they could stay at break-even point.
Who knows what their attitude to funding will now be ?
Chug along at break-even and pray for a miracle like 16-19 ?
Or chuck some cash at it , in an attempt to achieve PL ?
They must be on the horns of the classic dilemma affecting all businessmen whose original optimism
is unfulfilled.
If they have some cash , they can invest it in Dore without limitation - but imo that would show a long-term plan which I doubt they have.
I tend to believe they're after a quicker profit than that.
In which case , any new cash in the form of equity or loans would be thrown at getting to PL.
If that's the case , whilst wages are strictly controlled as a % of income , I'm not now sure of what limitations are imposed on P&L losses.
And I think I'm correct to say that P&L losses are influenced by the depreciation applied to transfer fees.
So spending on transfer fees can potentially increase losses over the period of the player's contract.
However , that was the reason for my question to any who've got to grips with the new rules.
In addition to wondering whether they'll put any new cash in (and whether that's limited by rules) ,
There's also the short-term shock of losing our parachutes.
My expectation is that our wages budget will be around mid-table in line with income.
As for our ability to pay transfer fees , there are so many variables , it's beyond guesswork.
My only hope is that we invest a bit more in players who are on the upward trajectory of their respective careers instead of aging injury prone players on their downward trajectory.
Otherwise , I don't see how the "profitable player trading" model can ever arrive.
And that brings into sharp focus our scouting & recruitment , which is another story ....
