Mashed Potatoes

Who would then ?

Club records for points/wins in 2017/18

Could do some minutes but not 90

Don't know but different people respond to it differently.

Recovering from the virus

Yes

Free transfers still require expenditure in the form of signing on fees, agents fees etc.

No - Mahoney chose to move on.

They've paid about £25m each.

The EFL still has to vote for this change - and at present I think needs a 75% vote so there can be no guarantee it will occur.

So in the business terms of the club they got it right then ?

You wrote the Trust should go ?

Future offers for the old boy ?

1. The bind of club with supporter goes beyond other businesses - supporters not customers 2. See future offers

I don't think so

Out of contract players receive a month's wages if they have not found a new club by the end of July.

I think Lyle Taylor is looking for a lot more than we will offer.

Yes, I agree. One other point . I don't think wage deferrals - as opposed to cuts- help with FFP. A wage deferred would still be expensed in the club's profit and loss account in the period for which it fell due - therefore the loss made by the club is not reduced.

I stand to be corrected but I don't think "the Authorities" decide on FFP. Rather the FFP rules form part of the constitution/rules of the Championship and so can only be changed if 3/4 of the clubs vote accordingly - or more pertinently any rule change can be blocked by 7 clubs. If so, that opens up the possibility that if 7 clubs are confident that they can satisfy the rules even with the Covid hit there will be a competitive advantage in blocking the proposed change because they will not suffer points deductions unlike other clubs.

Would be the biggest fight in Britain ever.

That's a good summary of the situation

A Premier League club will always be able to outbid a club in the Championship.

The club would like to but unfortunately it seems that money is talking(Leeds and Brighton)

I have only returned to this board in the last couple of days but who isn't aware of the problems they face ? But it won't just be the lower leagues. I think the Championship will be vulnerable as well , and those looking for a large number of incomings to Rovers before next season I think are doomed to be disappointed.

They go under
