A thought occurred to me, is the UEFA SCR based on the squad you enter for the competition or your whole squad?

I'm currently reading States of Play by Miguel Delaney. It's both informative and depressing in equal measure on the financial/political side of football.

Not sure, but getting rid of Profit & Sustainability rules is an opportunity for owners who don’t mind losing money - hopefully ours included - thanks to the irrelevance of the P in PSR.

As I see it, we can spend what we like from 26/27 on marketing, to drive the all important bit - revenue. May take the pressure off selling academy players too, although that would still count as revenue I think, so probably not.

Feels a bit like we're scraping the bottom of that barrel now though.

It doesn't feel like there is now a Grealish to get £100m, a Ramsey to get £40m, or even a Kellyman / Archer to do a £20m fudge now.

I wonder if there isn't a three-month old post-it note in Vidagany's office that says something like "Louie Barry? 20 goals and Sheff U win the league? £20m Summer '26?"
