That seems a little unlikely, but as per posts elsewhere, given the money spent on non playing staff, you have to assume some serious money is available.

Nothing would really surprise me at the moment to be honest. Being able to spend it well, especially within the rules, will be another matter though.

It'll be fine, we're Ipswich, when have we ever made a massive hash of spending big money on players.......

Quite right. You don't invest in prising away expensive Executives, medical personnel, scouting teams etc to have Myles Kenlock hacking around at left back on a Saturday afternoon. Whether those figures are reliable or not I don't know, but there's definitely money for Cook to spend over the next few months.

does the limit on spending only apply to player acquisitions/wages? if so, wise to invest in other staff/facilities...

You don’t pull executives from a well established championship Bristol City for them to come to a mid table League 1 outfit with no ambition or big plans.

They are serious about turning us in to a serious outfit.

Depends how much Ed is paying for his sponsorship I guess. Also depends on the crowds we get. It seems that transfer fees are outside the scope of fair play so it's just wages that are an issue and I guess there can be clauses and incentives in there.

40m still seems massively high but would start to explain the level of departures.

The limit on spending is based on player salaries, rather than transfer fees. So a max of 60% of turnover on player salaries.

You would think there are ways around this in terms of how the deals are structured, with large signing on fees and lower salaries etc, I'm not sure to what extent that would be factored into the calculation.

The crucial difference in L1 and L2 is the definition of turnover, whereby owners can inject equity, and it's included in the turnover figure. It completely de-risks the prospect of overspending, if the owners are in a position to inject equity and bring that player wage expenditure % back under 60%.

Profit on player sales also fall under Turnover. So every £1 of transfer revenue will also free up 60p of wages to invest.

"It is said......."

By whom ?

Is there someone at Bristol who knows the exact figure, and if so how ? Or have they simply guessed, or confused that with the money it supposedly cost the new owners to buy the club ?

Is the figure an extra amount, a one off ?

If it is a one off amount then it will have to be used to cover the full mount of any contract, or is it the understanding that a similar amount will be available each season ?

If so, we are looking at one helluva amount to be repaid oi capital alone - never mind the interest from an investment.

Or in other words it is just some spotty herbert intern making things up

thanks for that, very informative.

does look like there's some leeway (though i'll still only believe the 40m figure when we spend it!)

Very interesting. So effectively, day we sold a player for a million quid, we add 600k to the wage budget which we couldn't have necessarily added by other means?

If so, it might make the extension decisions make a lot more sense!

Am I right in that Bonus's don't count in the % either, so we could offer higher signing on fees and higher promotion bonus's instead of a big weekly wage....

It will have come from somewhere, whether or not it's right — and the piece is in fact bylined by their sports editor. Journalists get things wrong and some outlets certainly stretch things but it's really tiresome and dangerous to assume people are just lying. 99.99% are just doing their jobs. Keep undermining the media and you'll destroy a free press eventually — just as the dangerous b6stards in charge of this country wish you to. Rant over, sorry!

I think I’m correct in saying that sponsorship also falls under turnover, therefore, the money Ed Sheeran ‘donated’ to the club also plays a part.

As you’ve said, I think there are and will be plenty of loopholes should we want to spend, Ashton appears to be very savvy when it comes to transfers, so I’m sure no stone will be left unturned.
