Woodley Ram Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 6 minutes ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: If the EFL has changed the 11.5k a week to 4.5k a week, its time we sit up and realise the EFL are doing everything in their power to not only relegate us, but put us out of business, which we know damn well would probably be the end game of being relegated. I have no idea what we can do as fans, apart from suffer while Mel and Parry sword fight with their tackle, but honestly if we dont do something I fear we wont have a club to support, at least as we know it, in a couple of years. If this reduction is wage is true, there is a second question. Is the £4.5 for everyone or just for us. I seem to remember someone saying Reading could pay higher wages than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Maybe... Hard embargo = £4.5k Soft embargo = £12k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like appearance bonuses, assist and goal bonuses? Or name begins with a certain letter bonus? Of course the bonus would then be a regular payment but would still be classified as a bonus. If the EFL is playing by fluid rules then surely there's ways of us counteracting those without breaking the letter of them I think it would certainly be better for the club and also a true incentive for the player. However I am not sure the players and or agents would agree unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Roy, yes efl are making a statement with us BUT if mel hadn't been an idiot and caused us to have about 17 different rule breaks the efl wouldn't be doing this atherstoneram, Derby blood and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Perhaps the club should pay the max of 4.5k per week and Mel should also take them on as a home help at 7k per week. LeedsRam1999, Chester40 and archram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're under embargo for 4 reasons. 3 of them rely on the EFL being happy with our accounts / P&S calculations. They clearly are not. The other one was HMRC. It appears we had hoped a payment towards clearing the full amount would have eased the restrictions. Either we haven't paid it yet, or the EFL won't ease restrictions until the full amount is paid. There isn't much we can do at the moment. Curtains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL won’t relent and are clearly not happy with our discussions with them Only play players who we have on the books. If we play trial players against Notts I will be disappointed . Huddersfield is one week away. Edited July 31, 2021 by Curtains CBRammette and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We laughed for years when Fawaz was at Forest. We laugh when Forest lose. We laugh when Leeds get knocked out of the cup. We laugh we Wycombe try to push for a points deduction to be applied immediately as they wasn’t good enough to stay up. I’m laughing at Man City spending £100m on Jack Grealish. I mean if you don’t like being part of a club that’s laughed at, football isn’t for you. Honestly couldn’t care less if Boro, Leeds, Bristol City and Forest fans are all laughing at us.
