I said I have no problem with him levaing matey, just the lack of effort in trying to get a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what positions he thinks we're top heavy in? Perhaps left back would be one, right back we have 3 players. And centre half? I can only obviously see these ones currently.

It also from what Rowett said implies all of our signings should be in by the 22nd of July, so depending on how many players that'll be, could be a busy month.

Well we were told in the 15/16 season that we were managing fine and we could easily spend the money on players we were. Now apparently FFP has become an issue.

Not been funny but read the DCFC accounts. Pretty easy to see from them that we are haemoraging money. Why would we come out and say we are struggling with FFP, that would put us in a ridiculous position when selling players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes clearly the driving force behind this deal. As were the FFP implications. Pushed out basically. He had signed new contract in January which tells you he was happy stay just 5 months ago. Sit him on the bench rest of the season and you get what you want... From Will's view.. there's no wonder he prefers PL over Derby bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Hendrick sale last summer was negated by the purchase of Anya and Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd been in and out of the team after limping off against Leicester. Definitely wasn't fully fit for most of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, watch the Q and A with the whole board including Clement, they say that FFP won't be an issue. Would be nice for the club to a be a bit more open at times.

We spent 25/30m in one summer with fees obviously depreciated over x, y and z years We only spent a small amount net last summer and I'm sure it'll be the same this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritty Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 11 minutes ago, Duracell said: My interpretation is that it hadn't been a problem, and won't be a problem providing we reign in the spending this season. Issue is wage bill means we make losses every year regardless of transfer spend. Hope GR is being genuine implying Will drove this and it's not; "you can stay but likely to be a sub. Do you want to stay?" which is different scenario as really manager managing him out. But if GR is genuine and Will drove abd GR would have kep him then I take back my anger towards him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 If you think that we've signed two excellent Championship players, sold a player who isn't really suited to our plans whilst still making a decent profit, it doesn't look too bad. I could genuinely seeing us having a net spend below 0 this summer, but that certainly won't be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
