Financial fair play

[adrenachrome]

Our financial year end is the 31 May, ie today.  We then get 10 months to prepare the accounts.  I can't see how we can really be held to account for this season's results until we've had time to prepare them.

Especially with the likelihood of Post Balance Sheet Events?

That's hard to credit.

What’s the difference between a soft embargo and a hard embargo? Surely embargo means embargo. It’s all getting a bit too Brexit for my liking.

[Eckybloke]

Soft embargos enable you to pick up frees and pay them about 600k a year. You can’t pay fees for players, also you need to be able to show you’re working towards being more sustainable.

[KRS]

So everything we’re reading so far about signing players and paying fees suggests that this soft embargo thing is a load of media speculative nonsense.

[Eckybloke]

Either that or we’re doing a blose and telling the league to F off I’d go for the former though!

I think getting promoted ticks that last box!

Isn’t this story from the Daily fucking Mail?  I rest my case. If John Percy reports it I’ll take some notice

So after a number of reports that we were set to be roasted at the big EFL chin-wag in Portugal on Thur/Fri - nothing been reported about it today? Should be an onus on the league to let fans know what's going on if their clubs are being discussed in the same context as penalties for bullshit. I don't think anything will come of it but at the same time I'd appreciate confirmation of that, if only to shut the likes of Steve Gibson the fuck up.

Interesting article on the ownership of Southampton, Mr GAO a Chinese businessman with some questions over source of funds and ownership structures.
Has told the club they need to be self sufficient.
Brings back a few memories.

Good, I hope they go the same way we nearly did.

I can't stand Southampton, they must be close to being banned on environmental grounds as they're so plastic.

Hard to see how they culd be any more sustainable given the players they've sold in the last few years.

Isn't their owner so crooked even the Premier League tried to block his takeover a couple of years ago? Takes some doing, that.

I didn't really have anything much against them as a club until five minutes after the whistle blew on the playoff final when my elder son's stepdad - a Southampton supporter - rang to congratulate me then in the same breath said he thought we'd be immediately relegated again. My most fervent desire now this season (other than winning the league, obviously) is to take six points from them, thrashing them mercilessly at Villa Park and whatever their plastic stadium is called nowadays, whilst seeing them implode, go into administration, be docked points, get relegated and then go bust, with Matt LeTissier snotting live on telly from his big wonky nose, the soapy twat.

Stop sitting on the fence.
