Fulham managed to hang to to Cairney last summer so I’m hopeful we can do the same with Jack

Our strategy clearly involved maximising income this year. We were hoping that people would buy some of these loaned out players. But I can't see anyone paying much for Gil, Gollini, Elphick, Tshibola, McCormack, De Laet, Gardner etc

The consequences as set out in that article are so severe that it would represent apalling stewardship of the club - a really huge gamble. So I'm hoping that there's something meaning it's not as bad as that. The messages from the club didn't suggest this level of seriosunes, but then I guess they don't ten to. I did struggle to see the flaw in the logic.

Anyone know what kind of sell on clause we've got with veretout or Adama?

The HS2 purchase of all / part of BMH could be crucial if it goes through in time

Do think we need the board to spell out some certainty

They had a high wage bill, no parachute money and were turning down £20m bids for West Ham and Newcastle. Not too dis similar

We are all speculating at the moment, lets see how it goes

Couldn't agree more. I think we all need to sit back and wait and see how things pan out.

Wyness said they're plans for either eventuality.

I hope that Wyness was right at the AGM that there is no need to sell Chester and Grealish. Them with a fit Kodjia and having Green, O'Hare and RHM offering the elusive pace we've lacked all year wouldn't be the worst.

A manager who can have us moving the ball with a bit of tempo wouldn't be the too shabby.

If we did get penalised for FFP (which seems to be at least 12 months away) isn't it a transfer embargo? Which still allows loans and frees to happen? Which is about all we have done in the last 12 months anyway. Like a lot have said already we are all speculating, and speculating while we are hurting is never good.

Cardiff and Fulham have been down here for about 4 years and both went back up, Wolves were in league 1 3 years ago, yes I know they have bought well, but did anyone thing they would go up like they did? A lot can happen, I hope we keep Jack, but when we sold Platt I was gutted, yet the players that came in gave us a spring board to push on for a great couple of years. Onwards and upwards hopefully

Has anyone got or read a suggested scenario where we can cut £50m of cost without selling the Crown Jewels?

We need to save just shy of a million quid a week, we aren’t going to get anywhere close to that by selling the deadwood and not renewing the big earners contracts. Are we?

Cardiff were on their last parachute payments and in a pretty dicey financial situation.

Fulham didn't spend vast amounts.

The Dingles duped the system by having a £25 million Champions League player in their midfield on £10k per week.

The Gerodies closed their eyes and put their head down and ran through it.

Brighton spent well.

Huddersfield didn't have a penny to rub together.

Many ways to skin a cat.

All involve having a manager that can either spot a gem or mould a team from nothing. Not Bruce.

Do we have a confirmed list of players now out of contract and expected to be released?

McCormack and Richards not getting bumps in their salary following a promotion is, as has been said, one of the few "good" things about not going up as they'll finally be gone next summer ( unless McCormack was signed on a four year deal?).

PNE are warming up a new song “Twenty grand twenty grand Jackie  Grealish...”

Funny how the FFP thing has come home to roost. It should have been implemented from the start and the “parachute” money is quite simply a joke that unfairly rewards failure.

Did no one see this coming no one?

The parachute payments are so a relegated team doesnt have to sell it's entire squad and replace them with kids.
