Although I've got the jist off FFP, i have to admit it still baffles me at times.

Was having a conversation with my lad about if we don't go up. We both reckon Jack and SJM will probably go. Jack £40m (buy out clause) SJM £25? (cost £3m). That would give us £62m profit. What portion of that could be reinvested in the team to stay compliant?
My guess would be £39m to keep us compliant with £23m to spend. Or is that way too easy 😯

Getting £65m for Grealish and McGinn is very optimistic I think - especially if other clubs know we need to sell to keep within FFP and that Jack wants/needs to leave for the sake of his career.

We will however save a pretty penny by offloading most of the players who are out of contract  - Hutton, DeLaet, Jedinak, Whelan, Richards, Elphick, and Bunn.  Other than Whelan, none of them are vital.

Cheers, bud.
I got the £65m simply from that  I'd heard Jack has a £40 clause in his contract, and McGinn is surely worth £25m.

Notwithstanding the clause, if we don't go up we will need to sell him.  Buying clubs will know this and I suspect we'd be lucky to get much more than £20-£25m.

Same if we sell McGinn really.  Prob £15m tops.

They are both clearly worth more, but our circumstances would mean we'd be selling under duress.

I think if the offers are around that then we just won't sell and they'll handle it. The current lot don't come across as the sort who'd be fucked around by someone like Levy. I reckon we'd be looking at £45m as the absolute minimum that those 2 will raise with £50-60m more likely.

Apparently Boro are going to attempt to sue Derby over breach of financial rules:

Just viewed this and I found it fascinating as I knew we were in trouble but never realised just how much trouble, real knife edge stuff:

I've just read that Sawiris is buying the ground and putting it into a separate company. Anyone else pick up on this?

It's speculation based on some changes in our details recorded at companies House

Why would we even need to do this with 170m guaranteed coming in over the next three years just from Sky even if we went straight back down?

Not sure but doesn’t sound good.

The difference in money between the 2 leagues is ridiculous to be honest.
