Doesn't the £120m spend from the 19/20 season drop off the 3-year FFP radar this summer? If so, with the net spend being considerably less in the last two seasons with us actually receiving transfer income, we should have a decent budget.

Unless they've blown it all on wages, golden handshakes, and lion reorientation modelling.

That's not quite how it works. A spend of however much doesn't directly affect FFP. What matters is that you're only allowed certain losses (£105m from memory) over a three year period. So if you buy a player for £100m and pay him £5m a year over five years, then your accounts will be hit for £20m amortisation (Zzzzzzzzz) a year for five years, and £5m wages a year, both of which are costs in the accounts and reduce profits/increase losses. I think Wesley for example is on a five year contract, so his wages will have been costing us every year since.

Yes, but the losses for that season drop off, and the seasons since we have had decent transfer income without spending massive amounts, so it should make a positive difference. Our commercial income will have grown also, so all in all I would expect there to be a decent amount available.

I would have thought there would have been some support with Wesley from Insurance.

Why? We can confirm transfers before the window opens. Or have you forgotten the glory days of Brett Holman?

Not only that, discussion of potential transfers must also be strictly forbidden.

You could always choose not to read any of it until January.

You watch if some mugs spend the reputed £5Billion for the red filth (Will obviously be oil based) then i doubt FFP will ever be mentioned when they start to splash the cash

Certainly won’t be mentioned by the media, because their fans will still be claiming it’s profit money from the sale of Torres. Some of my Devon red mates were making that claim for years. It’s like if they shout loud enough over the objections, the truth of the matter will get lost. Usually does by the media when they are involved…

Torres? - are we talking Liverpool or redManc? I thought it was the latter.

They are both on the market as part of the  Pre Super League scramble.

We could have two Coles, Ramsey and Brannigan after missing out on Andy all those years ago.
