As said FFP rules mean a lot of clubs cutting budgets to comply and having to reduce wage bill.
That will mean a lot of players available on lower wages.
So IF SCP can pick up some bargains, IF we can integrate the likes of Smith and Feely, IF we move on some other high earners, IF the board can bring more income in from sponsorship etc (FFP limits loans from owners even if they have/want to), IF we can have a money making Cup run then.........0 -
That's a bit far fetched isn't it?...a money making cup run!Henry Irving said:As said FFP rules mean a lot of clubs cutting budgets to comply and having to reduce wage bill.

I think that's very true but isn't the real issue whether or not we are looking for further seasons of Championship consolidation which bye the way is fine by me or whether there is a real plan to get us closer season on season to the playoffs ? Not taking anything away from what SCP did last season but several of our key players are not getting any younger and although not too far off I don't see us as serious playoff contenders with what we have plus a few youngsters filling the gaps. What will be will be but a reduced budget will not see us progress.BlackForestReds said:I don't know if the player's budget will be reduced or not - but we have a number of talented reserve team players coming through and while I doubt they'll be guaranteed starters they should be good enough to fill in for a few matches here and there or occupy a spot on the bench.
Last season we made a loss of something like £7.5m on a turnover of around £8m - our wage bill is to high, so we need to either find a way to get another 5,000 plus fans in per match or we start to live according to our budget. All the clubs in the championship will have this problem, not many will be able to blood a crop of well trained academy players though.

Someone says Kevin Cash is back and everyone ignores it, someone else hears that the budget is being reduced and everyone soils themselves. I'll believe it when the transfer window closes and we haven't signed anyone0

Garrymanilow...he believes what he wants.0

6'4" with a 12/13 second 100m sprint
That's pretty tasty!

Absolutely right. None of us really know so let's see how it goes and not wet ourselves every time someone pops up with a thought.Garrymanilow said:Someone says Kevin Cash is back and everyone ignores it, someone else hears that the budget is being reduced and everyone soils themselves.

Good point except no one has soiled themselves and it's a rumours thread and amazingly someone posted a rumour which, even more amazingly people then discussed in a calm and reasonable way.Garrymanilow said:Someone says Kevin Cash is back and everyone ignores it, someone else hears that the budget is being reduced and everyone soils themselves.

Have to pull you up on that.I soiled myself when somebody said Kevin Cash was back. ;-)

to be fair there was a couple of overreactions which GarryManilow refers to. One even said we're down!Henry Irving said:

Ironically enough, my comment was posted to avoid overreaction and try to stop the next 50 posts on this thread being about whether or not we've got two pennies to rub together and more about what players we might be signing. There's no point in people panicking before we know for sure. I'm glad you took the time out to condescend to me though Henry. Cheers.Henry Irving said:

Why not just have a sensible debate rather than using silly OTT terms like "everyone" and "soiled themselves".

I heard from a very good source that Billy Davies is keen on Leroy Lita.

Either way. If it means more of these under 21s coming through, I'm all for it.
No point having it, funding it, if you're not gonna use it.
Step up Smith, Piggott, Holmes, Cousins & Poyet.0 -
I'd like to see Smith and Cousins given a go. I don't honestly know much about the others. I know Piggott has scored a few for the reserves/u21 and Poyet has had some good reviews. I am sure they along with the likes of Osborne, Azeez and Sho will be given a try against Welling pre season._nam11 said:Either way.

Would like us to sign solid central midfielder, a creative wide player a new striker. But don't think we will have the budget.0 -
Richard Cawley just tweeted: "#cafc linked with £250k move for Crawley defender Mark Connolly. Be amazed - vibes at the moment are that no money to spend this summer."

Just saw that Cawley stuff on Twitter,he says this about N'Guessan when the Millwall reporter Aldo speculates about it.
If Millwall let him go on a free then I could see that one happening.
My take is that Fuller and BWP would be on big contracts and that with them leaving we could replace them with less expensive players.We shall see.

I'd be happy with giving youngsters a go in the 1st team a but quicker than we have been doing in recent years, indeed that would be a major selling point any young playing thinking about leaving us for the likes of Chelsea. The likes of Palace and Derby have tended to play youngsters earlier than us._nam11 said:Either way. If it means more of these under 21s coming through, I'm all for it.

Taking an example from 20 years ago, when Minto left, Sturgess and Stuart were given the chance at LB, rather than us getting a journeyman free transfer as a direct replacement. With the injuries at LB last season, and money too tight to get an experienced LB in, would it have been worth us playing Fox say at LB, rather than getting the fairly hopeless Seabourne in on loan?
Similarly, Harriott had a really exciting cameo subs appearance earlier in the season, but didn't get a proper chance until several months later, and has now become a 1st choice player in that position.0 -
From FR: Oxford's Alfie Potter is being tracked by Leeds, Charlton and Port Vale.
This is a bit weird because my mate who is an Oxford fan texted me a few weeks back to say he heard some people say that we were interested in Potter, don't know how true it is but he has nothing but good things to say about Potter0
