[Grendel]

are you still here ? Such a nice person, so glad you only have any relevance in your own mind

At least I can read

I think West Brom do have finance issues more than you think,

News to me, you think we’ll be competing with them for players then?

 

[SkyblueDad]

No need, we will be doing our competing on the pitch.
I know they have parachute money but they also have premier wages to pay to twenty odd players. I’m not sure their garden is as rosey as some think and they still need a manager we have one, a good one.

They will sell the goalkeeper and Pereira for £40m combined

 

[SkyblueDad]

They might and pay their contracts up that will suck a chunk out of the £40 million and that will be all of two players off their premier wage bill.

 

[Gosb]

1 week after the play offs finished and please remind me of all of the other signings in our division

Since you asked,

Ollie Turton [Blackpool - Huddersfield] Free
Charlie Austin [West Brom - QPR] Free
Reece Burke [Hull - Luton] Free

 

[lord_garrincha]

What's the point signing players now when they cannot do the obligatory picture of them holding the new season's jersey out in front of them, whilst wearing the new season's jersey?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Do you have to pay up the contract of a player leaving for a fee? That doesn’t sound right to me, if the contract was terminated then yeah.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

They might and pay their contracts up that will suck a chunk out of the £40 million and that will be all of two players off their premier wage bill.

Why would they want to pay up contracts? Most of their main players are ones that they'll look to keep in order to try and achieve promotion this season.

Equally, all players will have relegation clauses inserted into their contracts in order to mitigate the fallout from dropping into the Championship. They've also managed to move Charlie Austin on after his deal concluded, who was probably one of their higher earners, if not their highest earner. A few other players have been let go as well.

Combine that with parachute payments and the fees they're likely to receive from Johnstone and Pereira then they're really not in that bad shape for this season.

Think Jordan Rhodes went to Huddersfield too. Out of those think only Burke would have been of interest

 

[larry_david]

We are usually planning two transfer windows in advance if you believe badlan so we'll have our targets and the second our survival was confirmed you'd assume we'd be pressing the buttons on that.

Question is do they want to join

Oh and Collins to Cardiff of course

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Clubs are still not sure what capacity will be for the start of the season, as stage 4 of lockdown may have implications on crowd sizes. Budgeting is difficult again this summer.

 

[Big_Ben]

Weren't we under an embargo until the accounts were submitted? Now that they have gone in we might see some movement on the transfer front.

 

[robbiekeane]

Do you have to pay up the contract of a player leaving for a fee? That doesn’t sound right to me, if the contract was terminated then yeah.

Interestingly, I read one of those secret footballer books and yeh - if a players been sold they will generally still negotiate some sort of payout on the contract they have with the selling club

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Some players will have loyalty bonuses that mean they get extra cash if they don't make a transfer request when they get signed

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Luckily we have a better squad than that season

Quite short without the 5 loans

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Clubs are still not sure what capacity will be for the start of the season, as stage 4 of lockdown may have implications on crowd sizes. Budgeting is difficult again this summer.

Budget based on average of 17000 crowd so that’s what they’ll be basing budget on

We are at a level now where to advance our targets will have more options..

Players we are interested in may have several clubs/options to weigh up. This takes time and it can be a bit like moving house when you are in a chain.

Also if you are eyeing up Prem loans you may have to wait post Euros and pre season before Prem teams sort their squads out. If you are going for high end non first teamers they are waiting for the will I get a chance or not indication? Or plan B no go out on loan?

Any team can snap up the the freebies now - doesnt mean they will be any good? I think for that extra bit of quality we may have to wait.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Why are people panicking we have Fabian Tavares who we signed in Feb .... he could come good ....

 

[Ian1779]

Plus we'll probably be waiting for most of our targets to come back from the Euro finals

Time for some research on those North Macedonian gems.

Blackpool have also signed Reece James and Hull have signed George Moncur

Ffs sisu out.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Blackpool have also signed Reece James and Hull have signed George Moncur

Barnsley have just signed Devante Cole.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Barnsley have just signed Devante Cole.

Surprised by that, he’s played in League 1 for most of his career never being prolific , though did well last year with Motherwell.

 

[Barnsley]

Barnsley have just signed Devante Cole.

Dreadful footballer

 

[procdoc]

Dreadful footballer

He’ll fit in well then

 

[Frostie]

He’ll fit in well then

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Another quiet day at the office.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Well boring off season.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Sorry, I don’t understand what point you’re making here. Blackburn and Stoke will be paying higher wages than us regardless of debt.

Will they ? I wouldn’t bet on that not for new contracts anyway. I’m not privy to our wage bill but these clubs with massive losses and huge debts and let’s remember they are for 2019/20 season not last year which must be frightening.

Yes I am very sure Blackburn and Stoke can offer players more money
