Go on then, who would you buy as a League One club whilst adhering to FFP rulings and our general regime of living within our means?They could also buy anyone
Every club at our level has to sell players to survive, but our situation is different. We have cut the wage bill and i assume other costs too.I’m not moaning at the club having to sell players, i’m just worried it will be the inevitable sell and not replace. He needs some of the money to reinvest, even if it’s a fraction just to push us over the line.
Unless he gets injuredAgree he is not.
Just wish some fans were realistic. We are a League One club playing tenants in a city 20 miles away. We have to balance the books somehow.
However any less than £2m then it's disappointing. I would keep until the summer. We go up then his value doubles. We stay down then sell for £2m.

There is no such thing as FFP in league one.Go on then, who would you buy as a League One club whilst adhering to FFP rulings and our general regime of living within our means?

You're welcome mate, i just don't think people read post properly sometime before reacting.Yes! Thank you Pipkin
So you think the owners should give the club money ok given what’s been said about breaking even etcThere is no such thing as FFP in league one.
there is SCMP which is similar; but money input by owners is 100% exempt as long as there is no contractual agreement for repayment of that money.

We have one problem other teams don't have and that is playing at a ground that we don't want to be in out of our City.
If supporters don't turn up then we have to sell more urgently than if they did.
If supporters don't turn up we sell our best prospect for 1.5-2 million as we need all that money just to keep us going, if supporters turn up then if we sell the same player add 500k + to that figure.
Also if supporters don't turn up running costs swallow all that up, if supporters do turn up maybe we have half to spend on new player(s).
It's easy really, the club we all love and support (i assume you all do, or why are you on here), need funds to survive. Go and watch them if you can can they have more funds to survive and maybe get promotion, don't go and they need to sell to balance the books. No blame aimed at anyone, you're not stupid and you all know this, but if you don't go then don't complain when we sell a player(s) below value.
That’s for SISU to decide, not me, just pointing out that all the FFP stuff is not for real, if you put money in with no agreement to repay then that doesn’t count towards the salary cap protocol.So you think the owners should give the club money ok given what’s been said about breaking even etc

I know they won’t, obviously, but it’s because they don’t want to, not because they’re bound by rules.
Just frustrating that after all this they couldn’t pump in just a couple of million more for someone who’d score the goals to take us up, but it’s their money, not mine, I’m a fan, they’re a business.
The owners do put money in each season (but not a gift) just to pay the clubs short fall in finances (they have yet to draw back that money from the clubs budget though).So you think the owners should give the club money ok given what’s been said about breaking even etc
They are never going to call in the debt, that would be like the bailiffs showing up at your gaff looking for a couple of million, you’d just laugh at them. They would never get the money back. I’m not sure what they have to sell, but it’s not going to cover the (I think) £75m they’ve put in. They’re stuck with us unless they decide to write off the whole thing.The owners do put money in each season (but not a gift) just to pay the clubs short fall in finances (they have yet to draw back that money from the clubs budget though).
If SISU ever decided to call the debt in we would be screwed, this is what scares me.
If the legal stuff goes against them, will they just decide to sell everything to get back what they can and at best just leave us with under 18 players (Bolton).
This is what "could" happen.
'John Aloisi was a good example, we got him for nothing and Portsmouth went mad that we’d totally ripped them off- we had, but they had no choice but to sell.'
I'd say ripping Pompey off for John Aloisi was divine retribution for the way they took Mark Hateley off us for a ridiculously cheap price then sold him on for a huge profit to an Italian club.
Haha!!! i wish i was.They are never going to call in the debt, that would be like the bailiffs showing up at your gaff looking for a couple of million, you’d just laugh at them.

Apologies if you’re a milllionaire
For me It'd be Walsh in a permanent deal, reckon he could step up to championship level given more game time and experience.If or when McCallum goes.
What would be more preferred a new striker or to try and get walsh in on a permanentk
Surely the club must be looking at doing something here if we get good money we can get someone in who can score goals weekly that’s all I’m seeing missing from automatic promotion ?
I’ve got to say, I think there are a lot of people on this forum underestimating just how good McCallum is already. I don’t know about what price he would or should go for, and I was disappointed when Mason was originally dropped for him, but he’s proved me wrong and been fantastic. I think we would miss him more than most realise.

Good point, but my only criticism of Robins (only lately) is the reluctance to play 2 strikers up front, as we have dominated games when we have done!Surely the club must be looking at doing something here if we get good money we can get someone in who can score goals weekly that’s all I’m seeing missing from automatic promotion ?
I think Baka is on his way can see Hiwula going as well this windowGood point, but my only criticism of Robins (only lately) is the reluctance to play 2 strikers up front, as we have dominated games when we have done!
So my point is, I don't think we need to buy another striker as a priority, as we have a couple in Baka , Biamou and hiwula, utilise them!
From the sale of McNulty, Chaplin and Bayliss.Not sure that’s going to happen. He’s already been given money for Chaplin, Hiwula, Bakayoko and Godden in the last 2 years
Good point if sisu want us up get us the best McCallum deal and let him get someone proven inFrom the sale of McNulty, Chaplin and Bayliss.

What’s your thoughts on current squad/strikers etc ? Do you think we need someone ?Yes I’m aware the point was more we’ve recruited 4 strikers for money and none of them have scored the goals the poster wants

Problem with godden is unless those 2 midfield players are on their game he suffers maybe we need to get O’Hare a run in the team,I’m surprised Allen is not getting a sniff how much he was raved aboutGodden is proven
