Anyone else have a feeling tony is trying to consolidate this season before a massive push next year?

Consolidation
- Thread starter daveyboy1973
- Start date
If it weren't for FFP, those would be viable options. But there can't be a massive push, we can just go to the limit of FFP, which I expect us to do. Having said that, the limits have been increased haven't they? So maybe we won't reach them this year.

I think FFP will be virtually scrapped at the next Lge AGM.
The FFP limit for this season hasn't changed; it's still £6m. It's next season that it increases to £39m over 3 seasons. I've heard nothing from the club to suggest that the strategy of meeting FFP has changed.

I'd be happy to finish 4th from bottom this season and start next season with the same manager that ends this season.Hopefully during the summer TB' s wallet will burst open and we can buy quality players rather than what's left at the end of the transfer window.
There's certainly nothing to suggest we'll spend more than the limit, but the club has never said it would spend up to the limit each year.
£39m over 3 seasons sounds designed to help clubs cock it up. They'll lose £39m in year one, hoping to be promoted straight off, and then be buggered the following year if they're not. But they'll then argue that their plan is to make the profits in the third year, to justify further losses in the second year.
Exactly!

Agreed. And as there seem to be so many ways for Forest and Leeds etc. to get around the transfer embagos, who cares about the sanctions now?
Also, we can just front load the squad with players, so we need not worry about any transfer restrictions.
Is that twice then?

My guess is to save paying him off on the contract. He assumed Hyypia would blink first
Is that twice then?
Nah. I thought of it first, you just read my mind. I'll add "and is just like David Blaine" though, if you like?
Careful now, I can edit my signature too you know.
Ah, but of the two of us, only I can edit your signature and prevent you from making further edits*.
*Maybe. I dunno really. But you should believe that I can. *Nods*

It's an operation to salvage our place in the Championship. Shame it took Hyypia to force TB's hand (he wouldn't have flown back to Oz if that wasn't the case) instead of him taking more proactive action to stop the rot. Oh well, we got there in the end. Onwards and upwards.
That may be seen as an abuse of your powers, not sure it's worth it.

Agree totally with that.
