Transfer Window Closes

[SheepRanger]

11pm on Friday 1st September.

A lot of posters seems to have forgotton this deadline.

We dont have much to spend because thr Board spent too much in the last two seasons before GA got here.

If you stick with GA and give him the transfer window then you have to give him until Christmas imo. No point letting him sign players then sacking him early October.

Or sack him now and get someone in to sign the type of player they want.

Another issue is players wanting to come when we're bottom of the league. We have to get a result at Cardiff and beat Ipswich, a minimum of 4 points required because we won't be getting a result at the saints.

It's stick or twist already. I have no doubt the club will stick and then twist in October, which is the worst outcome of it all but then this board struggle to make the right decision time after time.

if GA stays til xmas were doomed

so what im trying to say is sack GA now and give the new boss the rest of this window

a spine of

4231

Begovic
New RB, Dunne, New CB, Paal
Field, Colbeck
RM loan, Chair, Willock
Dykes

with these coming off the bench should be enough us staying up

Archer, Kakay, Fox, Richards, Adomah, Smyth, Dixon Bonner, Dozzell, New Striker on loan

im not putting JCS on the list as he will never be available

[SheepRanger]

Willock will not be here after 1st Sept. I suspect he already knows where hes going and the club will be waiting a ladt ditched bargain price. Clubs know we're skint so I reckon it will be a £1m sale. He doesnt want to be here.

We proved last season that the table in early November, or after 16 games, has no meaning in terms of the final shake-up. When the window shuts, we'll have played 4 league games, 3 of which are away games and 2 against teams with parachute money. Launching Ainsworth on September 1st would be utterly ridiculous and boneheaded.

Give Ainsworth at least 10 games after September 1st to work with a settled team and see how he's doing. If we are in a parlous state he'd have to go and be replaced with someone who'd then have several games to assess the squad before the January window opens. I can't see we'd be able to do much in that window but maybe if we have new money or new owners we could get some loan players in.

We probably play Southampton in their last game before all the big names move to Premier League teams, that's unfortunate.

GA "Hopefully by next Saturday we’ll have made another signing, maybe another couple.”

All these other sides find loopholes to sign players like paying the transfer fee over 5 or 6 years or longer, Watford brought a player in for just over 3 million sold him to a club the owners own for 16 million and they loaned him back to Watford, they are being investigated for that, but they will get away with it.

You get the feeling that our owners are either not sharp enough to use loopholes or are trying to be whiter than white for fa throwing bo9k at us again

I just don't the club being turned around under current ownership and genuinely fear its a matter of time before it sinks to lows it will never recover from

Spreading the transfer fee over 5 or 6 seasons does not save a penny in the FFP calculations and is of no help.

However, if a club gives a player a long contract, say 5 years, the amortisation of the player contract can be spread over a longer period, reducing the annual amortisation (20% annually as in the case with a 5 year contract). However, as we do not pay transfer fees right now, as there is no room for it, there is nothing to gain from an FFP point of view issuing long contracts. More importantly though, those clubs that issue long contract simply to reduce annual amortisation in present FFP-period, only push the problem in front of them. It is a poor tactics that will backfire, just like selling the stadium, that will also backfire down the road.

I agree with you though that there is a lot of questionable practises between clubs that share the same ownership. That open up for ways to get around FFP in perfectly legal ways, even though it might compromise with the spirit of FFP.
