They've done more than just bid - they just need to wait for work permit/international clearance, don't they?

 

[Springal]

Striker is the least of their problems? Haven't they shipped 6 in one game and 5 in another already this season ?

I think they're taking the 'Peterborough' philosophy to surviving in the league.

Oh my god!! Wikipedia says its true, it simply has to be!


Anybody can edit a Wikipedia page, it means nothing. Almost as bad as looking at football rumours page.

FFP seems only to apply to us, a tinpot team playing to gates of a few thousand can afford £2million strikers ?

I would rather we took it seriously and let the others worry about themselves.

The last annual return to CH from afc Bournemouth (2011/12) shows an annual loss of £3.4M; as we all know BHA Holdings posted a loss of £9.1M over the same period and a similar loss is anticipated in 2012/13 according to Paul Barber.
FL Championship FFP rules for 2013/14 permit a total loss of £8M/pa max of which £5M max can be "covered" by the issue of new equity/shares and £3M max as accumulated losses. Assuming afcb are in a similar financial position now to 2011/12 then, with wealthy owners, it's not difficult to surmise where they might get £2M from eh?

 

[Stat Brother]

How much have they spent on their other signings?

..? I'm not decrepit, I'm fully aware of Wikipedia and how it works... I was laughing at the text that I highlighted in italics and bold...

Bournemouth sign 2.5mil striker ?

[severnside gull]

why not?
we did it last year (and the year before)




like many cluns they are ignoring/bending FFP rules and doubtless there will be effectively no repercussions for any of them
