We all know it's part of a Manager's brief to ask for more and more, whether that's money, players training ground or whatever. It is clearly the accountant's job to see that a Club doesn't break FFP and an owner's or CEO's to try and break it without penalty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It feels unlikely play-off wise. We're still a bit limited financially but it's not been a window so far with loads of cash flowing through the League and actually a bit less across a lot of clubs in Europe and a fair few in top flight here. I digress, it feels unlikely but something to be said for stability and some levels of improvement- that can itself yield some tangible gains.

Magicdaps Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I love the fact that we're not just rolling over and letting the Premier League pennies wash over us. For the right price we sell, that's not in doubt, I think we're all realistic about that, but the "sale on our terms approach" is refreshing, and a sign of our improving overall health, both financially and structurally. I also genuinely wonder about Alex's attitude to the interest from Bournemouth & Wolves and where he's set his sights personally. I'm not being naive here as both would obviously be a step up the ladder, but if he was agitating for a move, regardless of destination, as long it was higher up the chain, then I think it may have expedited the process, which doesn't appear to have been the case. I'm not saying he's particularly loyal to us, or doesn't want to move, of course he wants to progress, but he appears to be pretty sensible in his approach to his almost inevitable rise to the top end of the game. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Totally agree, proud of how we are handling this. A bid in January though no clue how much and the £15m, £18m and £22m..3 this summer and 1 in January. Location wise I think he'll be quite happy at either in some regards but a big for SL, Alexander, NP and I an sure Gould would have rejected in January unless it was huge too. Bit impressed in the context of e.g. Leeds, who aren't necessarily under pressure to sell seemingly buckling to Everton for Gnonto for £19m as per some reports...despite his contract being until 2027. Playing him in friendlies despite all of the speculation is another sign that we won't be bounced into an undesirable deal any time soon.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Was browsing the Wolves forum Transfer thread again looking for stuff about Scott..some of them still seem to think FFP is about net spend. Been around over a decade, they were saying thay because they have raised £80 odd million in fees they can spend not far off that. By profit it doesn't mean a net spend profit but they clearly require a profit of £x on disposal of players.

Little arrogant I feel given that as far as we know, a bid has not been accepted yet and he remains our player for now.

I suspect he feels he’s in a win win. He seems content here in his flat with Tommy. He is responding well to the coaches and developing brilliantly. He may think “lower Prem team now or mid to upper one next year when I’m still not yet 21”. He might be genuinely content with things either way. Another season of being a big fish in the Championship pond, wouldn’t be so bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you mean but I think there are diminishing returns personally - I don't think they're just buying him because of what he can do now, but because of what he can do in the future. They know he's absolute quality already. I don't know if adding a few goals will really nudge the needle much, and I can't see a Championship player with no PL experience going for £50m+ or whatever any time soon so there is a limit there as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 On a general note, middling or non fire sale needed clubs are not really bowing down to the big boys this summer and selling on the cheap go the bigger or richer clubs on the cheap which is a interesting sign. Bit different in La Liga owing to every player having a buyout clause. West Ham with Rice a key one, Brighton with Caicedo another. Neither Manchester club are finding it easy to get their targets, Gvardiol to Man City and Hojlund to Man United. Both I assume not in FFP or cash flow difficulties. Napoli have put a major price tag on Oshimen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
