Thanks for that HeCanDoMagic

So as I said other day the Deja vu thread other day the same things keep being said ignoring the Phipps angle for a minute

#sufc boss NA on potential for signings "we are working hard behind the scenes for ins" - been saying it for weeks, how hard? whats the problem? maybe the journalist should press more? Also - Clough was saying exactly the same last year.

#sufc James Wallace groin injury - Clough was defo saying this last year and its the 3rd or 4th time NA has said it - pay him off and get shut - waste of a wage.

#sufc - NA frustrations of FPP - zzzzzzzzz same as NC and already mentioned in every other interview - other clubs also adhere to these rules.
 
I have never known any club turn out the FFP excuse as much as us.
 
Could the "really close" one, be Hammond?

On the Leicester fans forum today

"...Apparently this is back on. Trained with Utd this morning..."

I just hope their "in the knowers" are as clued up as ours are.
 
So Adkins is claiming FFP is holding us back despite the rules of FFP saying otherwise.

The obvious conclusion there being that the owners of the club are limiting the funds.

So in effect Adkins has just confirmed, in a round about way that the board are restricting his transfer business.

Which rule contradicts this?

To be fair, for a League 1 team especially, we must be on the cusps of it.

We must have the biggest squad & wage bill in the league by a country mile. In terms of numbers, it's the biggest I've seen since I started watching SUFC. There'll be another back page to the programme at this rate!

UTB!
 
As with any business - you have to cut your cloth accordingly.

If FFP/SCMP is the main issue is restricting the recruitment of NA's targets (& not players' current clubs not playing ball as previously stated!) then the answer is simple - do all you can to free-up some room. The obvious answer is to loan-out a number of players on the periphery and outside the normal match day squad (if/when fit) whose salaries count towards it i.e. Long (use Willis as sub and being in an emergency loan if required), McEveley, Alcock, Scougall, McNulty, Cuvelier, Woolford, McFazdean (?), de Giralomo (?) to enable fewer i.e. 2-3 higher quality replacements (GK, CB, CM) to be brought-in. Of course, very few clubs would be willing & able to fully fund their full salaries and Utd may well need to subsidise them in part but it should still be possible to lighten the overall wage bill by £15-20/week to allow signings to be made.

Whilst many will wonder how we're on the cusp of FFP/SCMP limits considering our attendances and other income streams, the truth remains that we have a large squad costing a lot of money. Case in point is Cuvelier on £6/week

Flo is on 6 quid a week?!! That is barely enough for sandwich these days. :)

Cuntvilier isn't worth 6 quid a week so thats a waste of a wage.

By "limiting the funds", do you mean not putting anymore money in? Because if you do, thats a "conclusion" many of us, I believe including you, have been aware of for a while.

But if you can dress it up as if its something new you have just stumbled across, good on you.

Why are you so bitter? It's a conclusion I've been aware of for a while, and also a conclusion I was aware that many others were aware.

Haven't you got some accounts to read? After all, you're the only one capable of it.

Would you accept being paid off if you was James Wallace? I certainly wouldn't unless it was at least 80% of the remaining value of the contract. So from our point of view why bother when we aren't going to be saving much money?

He's injured so will struggle to sign for another club any time soon, so ain't going to accept being paid off on the cheap cause he could be without an income for a few months.

Its a bit juvenile and ironic to claim people are bitter, considering your posts from day one on here. And your follow up comment today. (Which to be honest had me considering a two page missive about the unfairness of it all and giving consideration to enetering a manastry until I remembered I'm an adult and not some fifty odd year old pre-pubescent like attention seeker.

But, in the spirit of friendship, I take back my comment about you only just realising no more money was going in and accept that in fact its just another rehash of your utterly tiresome daily one topic posts about the club.

Better?
