Having the money to spend doesn’t mean it guarantees success. Look at Chelsea1
-
It doesn't guarantee success of course but i think if you're spending (as reported) 20m in league one then it'd probably actually be harder to fail than to do well.
A question though - how can Birmingham spend that kind of money and pass FFP? Surely they'd fail.2 -
If other teams spend big it's up to us to punch above our weight isn't it?
Make a little go a long way, isn't that essentially what Crawley did last season?
It is possible we can do it, certainly surrendering the fight according to how much other teams spend would be pathetic.0 -

There is no FFP in L1. Maximum 60% of turnover on wages but as equity counts as turnover if the owners want to put £200M of equity in they could spend £120M on wages for example.
It's why when Methven talks of financial constraints it is disingenuous.
In some ways getting relegated to L2 and spending huge is a tactic as it takes the risk of FFP in the Championship out of it.3 -
I'll be honest i thought the same, but the very long (but also good) post from @Swisdom on the Charlton transfer rumours thread mentioned that we need to comply with FFP so it made me wonder if there were any new rules in place.Athletico Charlton said:Chris_from_Sidcup said:It doesn't guarantee success of course but i think if you're spending (as reported) 20m in league one then it'd probably actually be harder to fail than to do well.

There are if the owner(s) does not wish to put money in the club as equity. But if you have owners who want to put a cash injection in, they can.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

The club have said on a number of occasions that they want to be an elite community driven sustainable club. That says to me it doesn’t matter how much money they may have, they won’t be injecting loads of money in themselves. They’ve also said the more season tickets we sell the bigger the budget and better players we can sign.
However, we know from experience in this league that the clubs who get promoted are often those where the owner has put in money to sign the better players.
We can be a community driven club but there is nothing elite about us right now and certainly nothing that can be deemed as sustainable, especially in League One.13 -
Don’t know anything…… but perhaps we’re after some of same players as them and the finish line hasn’t quite been reached?Chris_from_Sidcup said:Quite surprised that Wrexham haven't signed anyone yet.1 -
They signed the keeper from Arsenal who was in loan last seasonWrightCharlie said:

They did sign Oknokwo. The last list I did is accurate. No signings yesterday. There are only 4 teams that have not signed anyone yet now.
With teams returning to training this week I expect we might see quite a few deals. I would expect at least a couple per day this week across the league.0 -
Looks good for an initial sound bite. Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything about success on the pitch, and as you say, being a league one side isn't sustainable anyway.Sage said:

Bristol Rovers sign Isaac Hutchinson from Walsall0 -
Charlton (along with some other clubs) are looking to change the ruling so owners can’t simply inject cash. If this ruling gets passed, this will of course put us in a stronger place than most other L1 clubs. It also means our owners won’t inject personal wealth as it goes against what they are pushing for.Sage said:

No (sensible) club owner is going to say they'll splash the cash, and blow everyone away with their spending anyway, as all that will do is push the prices up for their targets AND the wage expectations of the target players.1

Not an in but an out. Peter Kioso who was on loan at Peterborough for part of last season from Rotherham, has left to join Oxford for an undisclosed fee.0

Rotherham, who else, have made summer signing number 9 (Nine). Alex MacDonald joins on a free from Stevenage.0

Burton still trying to keep up with Rotherham though, fair play. They have signed Central Defender Alex Bannon from Queen's Park for an undisclosed fee.1

Guess who have just signed someone.
Yeah Rotherham, of course it is.
Signing number 10. Goalkeeper Cameron Dawson has joined on a free from Sheffield Wednesday.0 -
Jesus, Steve Evans must be in brown envelope heaven up there!4

What's happening to all the players that were there last season? We're struggling to clear 4 or 5 players he's got to get rid of a whole team who were relegated.DyerConsequences said:Guess who have just signed someone.

Tbf they released 11 players that were out of contract and sent back 5 that were on loan. Since then they've also sold their keeper Johansson and today Kioso as well. So there's not much left of what they had last season.southamptonaddick said:

Rotherhams offseason signing strategy is interesting. Two high level players in JCH and Powell and then a bunch of experienced but aging steady role players - all on frees. They will definitely be decent but they don’t feel like an automatic promotion squad as it currently stands5

It's very Steve Evans though. Say what you like about the man, he has a plan and it's usually very effective at this level.Bostonaddick said:Rotherhams offseason signing strategy is interesting.

Textbook Evans window , bunch of players he knows that he will have well drilled and hard to beat - masters of the dark arts too I would expect. No real superstars but they'll be there or thereabouts as usual.2
