    That is exactly the case. Financial Fair Play allows clubs like Derby to flaunt the rules to gamble on promotion and, if they don't, reign themselves back in within 3. Bournemouth gambled, got up and paid the fine with the substantial prize on offer in the PL.

    And with Derbys so called three year cycle coming to an end they re free to splurge again ..no wonder Lampard said yes ...no way he d have gone there in a cost cutting season in order to comply to FFP.

    I don't know if you are being purposely disingenuous or actually aren't getting it.

    The £11m you are claiming they gain per season in ST sales doesn't 100% go on transfer sales. You have policing, staffing, power etc (general overheads of a business) to deduce from that (which you conveniently summed up as half a million hahahahaha). Likewise, you also get further income from commercial activity/sponsorship. The £80m sum also doesn't include additional fees that come with any transfer (ie: huge agent fees, signing on fees, bonuses). They, like pretty much every Championship club, fails to turn a profit. 

    Derby County

    That is the fees spent by Derby published June 17.

    This is ours.

     

    Everything about Derby's books screams breaking FFP in comparison to ours but it's only us who uses the rules as a refusal to spend in case of "non-compliance."

     

    Wake up will you.

    To put it into perspective in 15/16 they spent approx 40m and gained nothing. Didn't sell a player for a fee. That's a substantial increase in wages, fees spent and not a single figure to balance it back. No action was taken.

     

    FFP is taken over three years apparently  dont exceed £39M ..comply at the end and then you start again with  another three year cycle? .This gives them two seasons to go gung ho but reign it in come the third to comply.Daft rules but seem to be the rules.

    Derby's transfer expenditure comes to approx £80m over the previous 4 years. From that they have gained approx. £37m back. This is taking fees only into account.

    I'm lead to believe the selling club doesn't receive any additional funds (save bonuses/clauses) from a sale. Likewise they don't pay any fees. As an example, when Derby received approx. £37m for their players that is the bottom line save for any future % fee. The benefit is the lump sump/release of wages.

    However, they have spent £80m on incomings. This sum is the fee to the selling club only. It doesn't take into account agent fees, signing on fees and, of course, the wage. 

    By a very crude measurement you'd have to expect that Derby's transfer outgoings are 75% higher than their incomings taking into account the additional fees occurred. Likewise, you'd expect their wage bill has got significantly higher simply by assessing their incomings vs their outgoings.

    Their ST sales are irrelevant in comparison to their gargantuan spending over the previous half a decade.

    Derby have already come to the end of their three year FFP cycle and complied .? so i presume they ve another three years to splurge until accountable again.

    "The current three-year Financial Fair Play cycle is coming to an end, however, meaning Derby will have more flexibility when it comes to the summer transfer window."

    I recall him saying he wanted to keep the owners ambitions in check or words to that effect but not about turning down a bigger transfer budget offer. He may or may not, I don't know.

    That's the bit I recall.  Which would imply they were willing to chuck money at it.

     

     

    That doesnt imply they are willing to chuck money at it all ..could simply mean the owners gettiing giddy and  carried away with themselves off the back of a promotion!

    Hoban far too injury prone and not good enough. That performance v Barnsley still fresh in my mind.

    Him and Gallagher, dont get the desire to bring players from our last failed Championship season. Need better.

    IMO you can also add Chapman to these two ..300 minutes played over 14 matches for us ..two major injuries. 

    Big risk to  sign

  6. I like it when Adam has major downers on Rovers ..his comments during match threads last season  saying we re doomed ...we re going to get beat ...we ll never go up ..etc etc etc  always transpired into the complete opposite ...so if Adam is on a downer i take it as a sign things will be ok !

    You carry on Adam ...

    I don't think it's us in for him, I reckon it's WBA.

    If its W.B.A ..surely they wouldnt be dithering over £1M .

    Jay Rod and Dawson muted to be going for big money plus the £3.5M ? they got for Johnny Evans. 

    Money not an issue i would have thought ..

    Good to see some of the players taking it upon themselves to get PT sessions over summer. The amount of money in the game, you'd think everyone would be doing this. However,  from social media half the squad have clearly having a good time in Ibiza/Marbella/Vegas over summer too.

    Nothing wrong in letting their hair down for a couple of week ! When i have my holiday i certainly dont include any extra work related activities ..

    As long as they put in the hard work pre season they ll be good to go !

    Only If it leads to a goal or penalty.

    If it leads to a corner which leads to a goal then the attacking team benefits.  If it is borderline there's no real issue but I've seen a couple where the attacker was 3 feet off and the linesman played on. 

    Yep never seen as few offside decisions in games ..lucky if theres two a game !

  11. What England did last night was nothing different than clubs resting players in the early rounds of the FA Cup /Check A Trade .Even better guaranteed into the next round !

    Could have played our first eleven .and still got beat ..picked up injuries ..cards etc  and Southgate would have been crucified again.

    I bet Shrewsbury wished they d sacrificed the Check A Trade like we did ..
