rodders0223 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) We cannot and will not go on like this. I think some people are in for a shock in the summer when we have to build an entire new team with no money, no turnover and very few sellable assets. I think Hogan is loaned out to get games and will probably start the main man next year. I see no feasible way we can afford or attract Mings. Smith is going nowhere because he is cheap, will work with what he has been given and will be desperate to succeed regardless. That is the honest truth. I think some people are living in an alternative reality with regards to the summer. I expect cheap free journeymen. Clayton Donaldson's and the like. Edit : not that I am against working on a budget now. Other teams do it and get out the league. How many times have we been outplayed by a side built on frees and flops molded into a team since we have been down here?

There will be no massive summer rebuild people are expecting. All the youngsters we have on loan will be brought in which is why they are all on loan at the moment. Next season will be horrible. How do you explain the Kalanic transfer? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and being in the luxurious position of buying a right back who we’ve agreed won’t play for us until next season? I don’t doubt the figures, but these transfers are a bit strange for a club who can’t afford to spend anything. Something isn’t adding up somewhere. Unless we’re being lied to (again) and they are gambling to go up this season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I don't understand how it's possible to lose that amount without wages/transfers. I thought it was wages that do all the damage. What the hell else are we buying? Have our pie wholesalers raised their prices or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 AC Milan seemed to build a case (for European FFP) that because they changed ownership they were able to reset their three season's losses to begin from when the new owners took control. Maybe we're going down the same route. Purslow and the new owners will know exactly what they can and can't do regarding FFP over the next few seasons and wouldn't have bothered buying us if we were going to be that hamstrung in the coming seasons. I reckon we'll see lots more high profile loans like El-Ghazi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could argue new owners and they need more than a season to reduce the ffp issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa_Vids Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just goes to demonstrate the mess we were in last summer. Very frightening indeed. Onwards and upwards under Wes, Nassef and Christian. They WILL succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2019 I think we should spend £600m, buy Gareth Bale and a few others. Win the league by 40 odd points and take the 12 point deduction at season end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don’t think Bale fits the profile for lowering the age of the squad, MBappe does though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) We are cashing on grealish in the summer looking at this. This is only way. The only other way is hogan hits it off at Sheffield united and they go up and we get 7-8m for him. If w ecan get a buying for Kodjia as well that will help. The good thing is come summer a lot of the high earners like Richards whelan and jedinak are going. Also let's remember this season w ehavw had rely high attendences that will help.

I have ZERO knowledge of accounting so don't even know what to make of the figures. However i've seen some point out that these accounts will include the Tony mess and debt has since been wiped out? As you've pointed out a few high earners will be off and we have a couple of assets we can sell. Also been mentioned that they can make the "new owners" argument for some leeway? I'm also certain we will find ways to bring in more commercial income . We just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
