Ghost of Clough

Stretton about to start in the L2 playoff game at Salford. 
(125/1 to score a hat-trick)

It was probably just the first person he could think of who's good at figures. Rachel Riley is often the first person I think of but that's got nothing to do with maths. 😀

Salary Cost Management Protocol. How could you have forgotten? 😀

It's called "SCMP" in L1 and L2 (can't remember what it stands for).
In L1, it's 60% of certain revenue plus 100% of other revenue (such as cup income, player sales, and owner cash injection). Clubs relegated from the Champio ship have a slightly higher allowance than the 60% bit.
League 2 is 50% instead.

You are correct regarding L1 financial rules. However, they will still have to comply with Championship P&S rules upon promotion. A lot of excludables  in L1 are not excluded from Championship P&S calculations.
In effect, L1 clubs with an aspiration of winning promotion have to follow Championship rules too.

I thought that bit was referring to in game management. Ie a player having a bad day should have been brought off earlier, rather than expecting him to suddenly have a magic moment

They have only 7 players under the age of 27 with 4 of those out of contractthis summer. None of them played more than 50% of the total minutes this season.
They have only 7 other players under 30 with 4 of those also out of contract.
In fact, I think they only have about 7 players contracted beyond the summer. A couple of players to have extension options too.

Close enough. Sunderland.

Out having a nice night out tonight, but thought I should pop on to here to show some empathy towards @walkleyowl

Where's that @Wankeyowl fella?
🤣

That hasn't really been the case since Lampard left. 3 permanent signings in 19/20, 6 in 20/21 and 5 in 21/22. 28 first team players left in that same 3 year period.

This guy has the dream job

No. Football creditors are only paid when the original payment became due. Any deferred payments would have been paid in full.

Easy. Forsyth captain, McGoldrick vice-captain

Good job he's still got 1 year on his contract...

"Stability. Integrity. Progress" probably comes in to it.
Clowes has clearly chosen the path he wants to go down and believes Warne to be that man. 1 season in and we narrowly missed out on the playoffs. It's not the end of the world, and there are some very simple areas to improve on to ensure we meet our target next season - promotion. Stability means we stick with the manager who has a very realistic possibility of winning promotion.
The progress bit will come in to it next season. Limping along between 5th and 10th all season wouldn't be progress, but Warne would still have the chance to finish the season to achieve the target. Failure should be a sackable offence IMO. A very strong attempt at challenging for top 2, but not going up would probably be enough for him to keep his job.
You say he's been rubbish, and in a lot of aspects of management I would tend to agree with you. Squad management, recruitment, academy integration, in game management, etc. The reality is, we don't know what has been discussed in the boardroom to justify the decisions which have been made. But, there's very little margin for error next season and the actions shouldn't be excused by 'EFL restrictions'.

My money would be on Wood. Someone who knows exactly what Warne wants from his team.
He was also Warne's captain from 2017 until the day he left. He's someone he can trust to drop in the team at any time, reliably fit and is a goal threat from set pieces.

A few assumptions:
1. Bielik is sold
2. Rooney and Tommo loaned out
3. No other players are sold
4. Loach and McGoldrick sign the deals offered
GK: Wildsmith, New, Loach
RCB: New, Forsyth
CB: New, New
LCB: Cashin
RWB: Knight, New
LWB: New, New
RCM: Bird, Smith
LCM: Hourihane, Sibley
RW: New, Mendez-Laing
LW: New, Barkhuizen
CF: McGoldrick, New, Collins
That's 5 starters and 4 squad players only really at the expense of Davies, Roberts (likely to be one of the signings) and Dobbin. 
Outgoings by minutes played (all comp.):
1. Roberts - 3184
2. Dobbin - 2548
3. Davies - 1395
4. Stearman - 939
5. Osula - 710
6. Chester - 562
7. White - 537
8. Springett - 218
9. Cybulski - 97
10. Aghatise - 14
Plus those I expect to be leaned out:
Rooney - 1150
Tommo - 842

Good job he's still got 1 year on his contract...

Still need to have a balanced squad, and an experienced CB as 5th or 6th choice is exactly what you should expect.
