No idea how reputable this account is, but it's reporting £300k as a combined fee. Which should cover us for 2 months at most? So bad it almost feels vindictive.

Premier League referral for FFP breaches confirmed by Everton and Forest.

I'm curious how it works for Everton, given they already have a 10 point penalty for 2020-22. Surely any penalty for 2021-23 must consider the 2 years' overlap?

I did the short trip across the pennines a few years ago to see them earn a 1-1 draw at Man City; Fara Williams scored for us. The fall has been brutal. The sad reality is to have a professional women's team, you need a good men's team to bring in the money. The game doesn't bring in enough money by...

From the outside english clubs do ok. The top english clubs are in rude financial health and are economic powerhouses of world football. My knowledge of 3rd tier german football club finances is limited. I have no idea how loss making german clubs who are owned by their fans make good the losses ea...

(Edited for brevity) Hi Ozzygull - don't worry, I know all about your struggles (and was personally involved in quite a few of them - happy to discuss in more detail by PM). Ultimately, though, your move to Falmer was made possible by a political decision, when Prescott overrode the objections of F...

Maybe with the big love in between the 2 clubs Robbie Williams can rescue us. Net worth > £200m.

The end of SJM's era is how things should look after an owner loses their ability to bankroll. He lost a lot in the financial crash, and we had to sell players to be sustainable. Losing players like Sigurdsson, Long and Mills was necessary, and still left money in the bank for good Championship wage...

Yessss - but this doesn't get over the fundamental problem that the money handed over by an owner isn't handed over without strings. It goes against the company as debt, making it so much harder for anyone else to come in and reducing the overall viability of that company. A massive debt owed to an...

Which is a prospective framework which looks forwards at your wage bill against forecast income is better. The concept of FFP is flawed really. It's £13m losses per annum in the Championship and £35m in the Premier League, and this excludes some funding such as the academy. So you can live well wit...

Wasn't Conor Wickham doing okay then? We'd have given him £75k a week for 5 years. Plus many other similar signings; perhaps a final big contract for Younes Kaboul.

Even if there was an annual check, could they actually force an owner to sell if they subsequently failed it? It does feel like really significant changes are needed to prevent this happening again to some other poor club No they couldn’t but they could put steps in place that would prevent a one t...

I was thinking a lot about the playoff final yesterday Was that penalty shootout a huge sliding doors moment? No. We didn’t have a squad to compete, Dai woukd have spent big and bad. We'd have been relegated with more spending but parachute payments and still ended up roughly where we are now, give...

I blame the PL. Everything would be better had they bought Hull instead.

So the question, if the EFL charge Dai again which seems inevitable now and he`s found guilty and banned from football ownership for 12 months, what happens? As far as I can see he would be have to sell within 28 days, and if he refuses what is the outcome, punish the club and again with ejection f...

That team wouldn't even survive in L2

Imagine you are Dai, you have no emotional connection to club and you are just a hard-nosed businessman who doesn't want to see his investment go down the swanny. What is your next move? Sell the club to the highest bidder. He had the chance to do that in November and chose not to. Or as IR suggest...

I think it just shows football can't mark its own homework. If we go, we'll be the third since 2020, following Bury and Macclesfield and that doesn't consider the near misses. The PL and EFL still haven't agreed on funding. People like Steve Parish saying the regulator should be light touch are so w...

We got time on TalkSport. Why is Simon Jordan allowed to issue his stupid opinions on matters such as this, given he led Palace into administration?

Loads over Twitter today, inc mentions of the situation from the likes of Jeff Stelling, Ian Wright and Gary Neville Fair to say the protests have done their job Of course whether anything positive happens as a result is a much more difficult question On the face of it puts EFL in a sticky position...

Dai and the directors must also be sailing close to the wind in terms of wrongful trading, which is where you know an entity may not be able to meet its obligations but you continue trading anyway. See the catering firm leaving because of the unpaid bill. If Dai pocketed transfer money for himself a...
