Well it's understandable given last seasons embargo for non payment, and this seasons lack of spending to know that we were skint, however surely we've done enough to balance the books now considering this years TV money and the parachute payments? Accounts expert Sean Thornton might be able to shed more light?
Transfermarkt has Ramsdale costing us £18.5m when in reality it was £12.6m; and Mousset at £10m when the real fee was at most £7m. It's run by enthusiasts and bedroom-dwellers, don't read too much into it.Transfer markt have Souza at costing us £12.5m and worth £12m, which I would say is about right, even if someone comes in with a £15m bid if he’s happy to stay id keep him
He will be a monster in the Championship, and his personality will be infectious in a winning team
Knob headI sincerely hope not. That would be a disaster. If Wilder is still in charge by Christmas we’ll be in the bottom 3 and staring down the barrel of league 1.
There’s no “were” about it.
We couldn’t afford to pay creditors due to income not being enough to support a championship club.
We will be a champ club again, however now needing to recruit 6-8 players minimum. They will need paying, and the level of player we get will be indicative of the fact we ARE skint!
Did you arrange the transfer?He cost less than 50% of that.
Out of the bunch below - what transfer fee do you think we'd generate based on their season with us so far ?!
Souza
Hamer
Trusty
Traore
Slimani
Archer - (probably irrelevant if it is true he's going back to Villa)
Surely if we was "skint" we would have only gone for free transfers this window, makes no sense to sell then to buy again if we're that apparently financially unstable.There’s no “were” about it.

Wait til you get to Michael BoltonI am a bit confused by this thread but not sure if i am missing something?
Considering we only have two years of parachute payments instead of three we can't fuck about for half a year like we did under Slav.My preference is that we don't bounce straight back up but top 6 finish good performances, build the squad back up, another 2 transfer windows to improve the squad ready for a proper season in the PL again following promotion in 2 seasons time.
How can we have "financial issues", with Prem Payt, 2 * parachute payments, TV money, 30000 average attendance? Just goes over my head.Aaron Ramsdale had a dreadful first half to the season with us when he joined, but by the end managed to turn his form around to the point where we pretty much recouped the money we paid for him.
It sounds like we will need to generate serious transfer funds in the summer to address our financial issues. With a lot of our best players out of contract, most of our assets will be the players we recruited last summer.
With that in mind should our main aim now to just pick these players constantly week by week and try to play them in the positions that will highlight their talent (I appreciate we probably are already doing that in most cases).
