What is our limitations on signings? 14:42 - May 7 with 1744 viewsFrimleyBlue

Lots of threads recently about who we think we would like as targets. But what do we all think is our limitation on the level of player we can get.

I know we got the likes of Morsy. Walton. Chaplin. But lots can be said about the links to PC and in Waltons case the GK Coach.

Do you think we are relying on the potential pull of Pert who has done the rounds in the UK and abroad?
You'd imagine KMs pull would be those youngsters he once coached, so could be some potential promise there.

We've heard we didn't really have 2 lists of targets depending on league we were in. But do you see us being able to attract top half champ players... or are we looking at bottom end and unknown ( or forgotten) foreign players.

Limit is mainly the salary cap, isn't it? Unless GC20 change policy and decide they want to inject equity/make a donation, our wage bill tops out at £7m or so a year for senior players (or £6.7k a week for 20 players).

Realistically that means that most of the time you can compete with bottom half Championship teams, everyone in L1 and most overseas leagues (other than the elite 5 leagues and some selected big clubs in smaller leagues).

As I keep saying, people really need to start thinking outside of the box. Ashton has said they’ve already done their homework on the Brexit rules, so can’t see too many issues there.

It will be Championship quality players we go for, whether that’s from this country or abroad. Ashton had a track record of getting players in from France, and I expect that to be a country we look in.

Nic Eliasson from Nimes (Ligue 2 and in financial bother), can see him coming in given he played for Bristol City and covers left side.

KMs' pull isn't just the youngsters he coached. It's also the fact he's regarded as a top coach. Numerous members of our current squad have praised the sessions he runs and the fact that they are developing. That will be known and attractive to some players in other clubs who want to progress . It will also be attractive to higher tier clubs looking at loaning out their players who want them to be developed while they are on loan

So in theory you can sign mbappe for 200 million but only pay him £500 a week?

No the cap covers both transfer fees and salaries

GC20 have been injecting equity already, we otherwise could not afford the current squad.

Was told our wage bill is currently £9.5m.

Ashton has since spoken about funding rounds. GC participated but ME did not, which is why his percentage shareholding has fallen.

Definitely.

You need to scroll down to the League One section.

The relevant bit is in Appendix A 2.4 (net transfer income) which is included in football fortune income.

1 SCMP Requirement

1.1 All League One Clubs (hereafter Clubs or Club) are required to meet the SCMP Requirement (as defined in Note 1.2) for each Reporting Period (as defined in Note 1.3).

1.2 The SCMP Requirement is a measure whereby a Club’s Player Related Expenditure (as defined in Appendix B) shall not exceed the sum of:

1.2.1 60% of the Club’s Relevant Turnover (as defined in Paragraph 1 of Appendix A) for the Reporting Period, plus

1.2.2 100% of the club’s Football Fortune Income (as defined in Paragraph 2 of Appendix A) for the Reporting Period.

What this means in practice is that paying fees for players reduces the amount you can spend on salaries.

Per your link, this document says that SCMP relates to "Player Related Expenditure" as defined in Appendix B. Appendix B makes no mention of transfer fees, just money paid to the players.

Assume £10m pa income per season, then you can spend £6m (60%) on player wages.
If you also make, say, £1m net transfer profit, then you can spend £6m+£1m=£7m on players. If you spend net £1m on transfers, you can spend £6m-£1m=£5m on player wages.

This is how I have read this.

It's pretty much 60% of any income can go into the wage budget. So those little fees made in the likes of Drinan help with this little pot.

I suppose like non league tho. There's nothing stopping anyone giving a brown packet to a player. Tbh who would know??
