So to the non accountants on here how do the future funds for team strengthening look like ?  On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being (No problems we can spend) and 10 being (we can afford to buy a paddle to get us out of shit creek)....where do you think we stand ?

There’s having money and there’s being able to spend it.

Purslow has inferred he's been primed for this, I hope that's still the case.
Smith mentioning getting players value up a few times in recent weeks suggests a blood-to-sell policy. Maybe we've agreed to sell Grealish in the event of non-promotion to stave-off an embargo.

Looks like Grealish would need to be sold 3 times over but even that wouldn’t help - it’s the ongoing wage bill which has to be slashed

This belief that Purslow has “done a deal” just doesn’t stack up. Every other club would contest such a deal as they’ve complied with the rules. Clubs have been relegated or have not been promoted due to complying with the rules while we’ve recklessly ignored them. Any “deal” struck by Purslow is likely to be deemed invalid.

If Purslow has “done a deal” then it would been based on an undertaking to sell players and slash the wage bill, which hasn’t happened.  Signing Abrahams on high wages rather flies in the face of that.

I can see a big points deduction and a lengthy transfer embargo.

How on earth do you lose £38 million on non football activities?

Catering bill for Wyness.

Thank God those clowns got out the club.

Like a fair few before them they were lucky to escape having their collars felt for such financial goings on.  Allegedly.

The way the summary of the accounts is presented, it has ourbyesr end as being linked to season end?

We've lost £39 million over the first two seasons, so whatever we've lost for this season is what we're over FFP by.

Purslow and NSWE agreed a 3 year plan with the EFL due to these inherited losses. Coming in at £39m level would make it nigh on impossible to fix quickly. New 3 year rolling cycle a system far as I’m aware and plan in place

Is this just wishful thinking, or based on some evidence? If it is true we wouldn't be eligible for any FFP penalties until the end of the 2021-22 season at the earliest?

So, spend, spend, spend and make sure we are out of this league by then?

No, it’s a 3-year cycle so the cycle would already have started.

 Hourihane’s right boots probably count as a non-football expense ?

If it's a three year cycle which started at the beginning of this season, as VinnieChase suggested, it would end at the conclusion of the 2021-22 season. Hence my question.

You could maybe just about understand if he came on to gloat, sad but maybe understandable, but to pretend to be a fan of another club is impressively obsessive.
