Squad Ratio Rules?

Surely it will benefit the pigs as with 20k attendances being twice that of most other league one clubs they’ll be able to spend more than the other clubs in the league.

True but at 50% thats a bit of a leveller especially when youve got to buy alot of players , you've nothing to sell and still have Ugbo on 20k a week probably eating 3 salaries.

Let’s see if they actually punish deviations. FFP breach is something that’s been widely circumvented and/or unpunished, the EFL will find their teeth when we fall foul though I’m sure.

Ahem, they average 30k regulary.

Why, as recently as 1968, they managed 31,639.

Good. A semblance of sound financial management will finally be required.

Sell to buy, don't give out stupid 3 or 4 year contracts to players with no resale value. Player wages will likely take a hit, at least replaceable players. No more back up right back on £1m a year etc for anyone.

If El Accounto is correct, the scenario is far from bleak: selling Peck bridges the gap; offloading some dross reduces the wage bill and if the owners can find 10m, we even have a modest transfer budget.

Just need someone like Celtic to give us solid cash for McGuinness. If we can blag them with Trusty then we can do it again.

Luton are saying exactly the same thing about us!

 

[LBA_Blade]

To say our rumoured wage budget (including Tom Davies, Mee and Ings) is £31.55 million for the year, those 3 combined rumoured to be £4.36million a year that takes us down to around £27million in wages Hamer's salary is in the region of £1.5mill a year and then any fee we get for him will about balance the books to the new target. To bring anyone new through the door we need to be either having a slight owners cash injection or sell someone else to fund other transfers. Peck's salary won't be breaking the bank but income raised through either offloading him would allow us to bring in potentially a couple of signings. Not forgetting that "frees" have agent fees and signing on bonuses that need to be included. That being said, I don't think we will be in that bad of a position and that target isn't unachievable, if we can get Marsh fit, we could get a small fee there which could be enough for a loan inbound to cover wages. It is going to be playing a trading game but as long as we have assets coming through the academy that can assist the first team for a short while before being sold on for a fee we will tick over ok.

There will be six (not cheap) loan players off the wage bill plus Mee, Ings & Davies (all not cheap).
I think this should give us enough room to manoeuvre.
If we could sell some of RND, Shackleton, McGuinness, Matos & Cannon then that would be a bonus.

We only need a few signings (2 defenders and a pacy wide man) without any further sales. Rest should be made up from academy.

If we do happen to sell Gus, Peck or any other than that gives us even more room.
