January Transfers and Rumours

[The Master]

The future is all well and good. 
BUT…. Without a present there is no future.

Shocking window. And to go into the last 20 games with the striker options (or lack of) that we have, AGAIN, is absolutely unforgivable.

I heard Carol has come off social media because of the abuse towards “Dave”…..

Well Carol, you haven’t seen anything yet, should results go bad in this next fortnight. 
She is becoming so far disconnected from the average fan who can see that all is not well and that Flitcroft needs shoveling back up the M6 where he came from.

Yeah, I don't think the Taylor one last window was actually confirmed until after 11pm - as long as the paperwork is in then the club can announce it whenever they please...

So what you saying Rob - Iv got to stay up 😫😫😫🙈🙈🙈🙈

We normally tweet something along the lines of “that’s all folks” when our business is done… can we still hold out hope of someone’s paperwork being completed?

Hope the fax machine is working 😳

Gutted if that’s true of olly 

Sheff Utd can’t be trusted wwnkers 

[Vale Ball]

So that means for 2nd half of the season with our backs to the wall, we have only 60 min Wilson (For the time being) Loft, Massey and Dipepa.

Not good enough.

So it doesn't affect the playing staff budget? Just want to hear that for definite, because stuff like that always comes up as a reason we've not brought as player in?

If I was the accountant I'd see it this way .....

The club should have a total annual budget and also likely a total medium term budget over say 2-5 years. Accounts are produced on an annual basis. 

The budgets should have separate cost centres covering all the different types of income and expenditure. So player wages is likely one cost centre, depreciation will be another, season ticket income another etc. 

The owners and managers should set up budgets that are realistic and reflect what they want to do. They will decide what should be spent on player wages. What needs to be charged as depreciation is a little more deterministic since it's a calculation based on accounting standards. 

Coming to your question the respective budgets are separate but ..... The total budget for the club reflects the overall financial targets. At the extremes that is influenced by the needs to remain solvent and trading whilst also complying with the financial fair play rules etc. 

Hence real life comes in to play. Most obviously if season ticket sales / attendances are significantly different than expected that should impact the wages budget. If attendances are down 2k then all the club's expenditure budgets are challenged and a reduction in the budget for player wages should be expected. Otherwise the club will sooner or later run into significant financial trouble. We've been there before! Very bad.

Quite scary.

Wilson is always a game away from 5 weeks out. Loft is always 5 months away from a goal. Massey is always….. well….. Massey. And Dipepa should be nowhere near the squad. Nowhere near. The kid is 16 and nowhere near good enough for league 1 football right now and is being thrown under the bus.

Flitcroft. Crosby. Carol. Someone take responsibility.

We still have a 1 hour to get another signing over the line if the club have asked for an extension

[Brian Johnson]

Ryan Woods signed for Exeter from Hull on loan.

That is a great signing for them at this level

[CoatbridgeValiant]

Wyke is a done deal.

With respect we have had 5 months.

With crap like that who needs enemies?
