I suspect it wasn't Robbins driving through the selling of Clayton, so not sure his departure will change things, in fact they will want to give the new man as much budget as possible before the end of August.
Not too fussed about missing out on a midfielder.
We need a 20+ goal striker and a left back more urgently.
Concentrate on those 2 and then boost the midfield with loans if necessary.
They are heading for a transfer embago in January.
However, if they go up in May the embago does not apply to a PL club, so a big FIVE months of embago time.
They may even dodge the fine, as the embago was their penalty.
OK, so if everyone has complied with FFP, why are we losing out to non-parachute clubs with lower incomes for our targets ? Especially with a 8million+ cash windfall this year.
Something doesn't make sense here.
Fair point, I meant added to our gate receipt advantage over ( for example) Wigan.
What I'm trying to say is that this is the closest we could be in revenue terms to the parachuted teams for a few years.
I hope we don't throw this chance away.
Not sure about Forest. Rumours coming out of statement expected from chairman about having to sell players to meet FFP ?
Sounds like rubbish to be honest, but Lansbury may also be on way out.
