Which he'll be asking for on a free I'd imagine. It's a NO from me Jeff.
The club never learns

Jack Clarke mate .
It's in the post
I think we are referring to different things mate.
I am talking about the years before this one, where we were not referred.
Ahh yes...
It’s based on a rolling 3 years, we were referred because we lost £372m over 3 years. It seemed like you were trying to say after deductions we actually lost under £105m over that period, which would just be outright wrong.

Rodrigo makes sense in our position though, we need a mixture of experience and youth. If we could couple it with a younger target man and or Gnoto or another forward who can play across it's a nice balance of forwards.
Yup it sucks and I was hoping for better than this for this summer. But it’s looking again like the budget is zero and in the short term swapping Simms for Rodrigo makes sense.
If the club has creamed off the Gordon and Kean sales to pay the bills it’s an admission the only target football wise is to stay in the PL while the ground is built. And in the short term Rodrigo does that more than the equivalent spent on younger players.
Apologies, I probably wasn't very clear.
What I am saying is:
1) There are deductions allowed to the 372m figure. Think of it as a gross figure, whereas it is a net figure that is taken.
2) In years prior to this one, the PL had accepted deductions to some of the same year's of accounts that had shown under £105m net.
It is not a comment about the latest set of accounts, as clearly that is under investigation, so outside of a handful of lawyers, I doubt anybody could make comment.

That’s exactly what we claimed happened. Based on nonsense like if it wasn’t for Covid, we’d have sold Richy and DCL for a combined £250 million in Summer 2020. No other teams did it so heavily because they weren’t so far over the limit. Considering the referral is supposed to be about tax treatment, our other creative Covid deductions must have been accepted. Probably because the rules were so vague we didnt break any of them (but probably we went against the spirit of them - but you can’t punish someone for that).
If our worst accounting losses somehow were deemed as within limits, which all other 19 teams were told they were, then in theory after last years sales, we would defo have P&S slack and be able to spend. The fact that we won’t will be due to the investigation (just in case), not wanting massive funds flowing out during a period of valuing external investment, Mosh just turning the taps off as he’s wasted enough, or probably all three.
Main factor is that no one of any reputation will come here. Any genuinely great player would only come here for the money, problem being that’s exactly what we need to avoid. We are backed into a bit of a corner and will have to be very creative, and very lucky.

It’s madisn’t it. We have been that stupid with signing players on exorbitant wages, who have been poor producing season on season worse performances that our prize money has dwindled meaning the salaries and overall expenditure has out us dangerously close to breaching, and then Covid of course. Just been utter mayhem in decision making.
