Loans to the club are not counted under FFP rules. And as they are adding about 2.5m to the debt every year in mismanagement fees and about 1.2m a year in interest what chance is there of them gifting money to our club?
I'm not convinced we'd be allowed the special status/scope for signings which were due to Admin/Liquidation as it would be for Breaking FFP , for which Swindon were embargoed this time last year.
I'll take It slightly away from the core of the thread here ,have we just injected equity to leave the special measures or was it a technical decision ?
I only ask as ,If we've injected capitol It appears to a) have had no effect on ability to attract any signings (as yet)or b) used up all availablre funds to get out of It ,leaving nothing to spend on players.

The squad would be decimated. Most of our players are on an average 2 year contract. We couldn't replace them as a non-compliant club is not be permitted to register a new player again until either it moves back under the threshold. So, we have, say, 5 players out of contract in ay given year, and we're not allowed to replace them. Even by this fool's lowly standards, this is a weak debate; especially, the prime mitigation in his argument being that the new low turnover is as a function of being 'evicted' :facepalm:
But hey - let's keep breaking the rules, eh? It's a dandy trajectory we're on right now by doing so......

Head says look down, but that said, don't fear relegation, there are worse teams below us, but had Leon not been an idiot and Callum sadly not got injured ... we could have made 6th ... I'm adamant, Elvis had us set up right, we will just have to regroup and do it all over again next year. Assuming we are still here next year ... wherever "here" is !

None, surely?!? It's all about turnover from audited accounts. Even if someone buys us, the cash goes to SISU, not the club, and we're left with the legacy or poor turnover moving forward
I think the reason for this semi embargo was the admin /Liquidation rather than based on last years figures ,based on those we could have a had a wage cap of £4M. this season .
I only ask as It seems odd just at the point that special measures are dropped It's at the point where the club would have been appraised on current figures .
Maybe i've just answered my own question with that £4M. figure based on last year,would'nt be amazed to find ourselves back In one in a matter of weeks.
Whatever happens this window in terms of Injections or fees received for players, is going to bare on next season ,I'm rambling though fatigue It could be as simple as the cup run Income.

I think it will be a disappointing end to the season in that we will dwindle down the table but I think he just have enough to not get relegated. Even without strikers we still could have scored a couple last night. Needs sorting big time though. I am looking to next season now.
Any finish above relegation would be an achievement after starting on -10
We have (IMO) the best city manager of my lifetime, I believe he is a man of genuine class and after all the effort he has put in would find it hard to walk away from us right now.
We also have a team that, for once, really really put in there best efforts for the club, and I have so much respect to all of them apart from leon clarke.
Its so depressing that if all the off field troubles were sorted out we have the base of a really good short term future, just like southampton and swansea. We have both the manager and the talented set of young players who could take this club back where we belong
