Just revisiting the “Simms†debacle 10:23 - Jul 12 with 10509 views | TalkingBlues | for a brief moment, to all those suggesting we couldn’t compete with Coventry cos they had just received £20 million (it wasn’t, that was a figure in €, so roughly £17 million) do you still think we can’t compete on the money front? £47 million pumped in already by the Pension mob and plenty more available. |  |

Just revisiting the “Simms” debacle on 10:32 - Jul 12 with 4857 views | FrimleyBlue | Don't forget TB that a fair chunk of that input would be going on the pitch refurbs which is millions itself, let alone e the staples demolition. I'm sure ( but also guessing) that a large majority of it will also just be similar to M.Es input but much larger, to minimise the losses. We aren't skint. The pot has money. But we are still a loss making club so there's a lot of balancing to do. And £7 transfers isn't the way to do It. |  |

I dunno - if we can start bringing players in for 7 quid I reckon it’ll make a pretty big difference |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Just revisiting the “Simms” debacle on 10:37 - Jul 12 with 4764 views | J2BLUE | The debacle where we didn't bid for him and Hirst was clearly the number one target? Oh and feel free to look back over my posts. I was saying Hirst would be the one we want before the news broke of him being here and Leicester were likely waiting for their other strikers to get back as they were short. Iheanacho returns and Hirst is here. Not exactly something you needed a crystal ball for but you really are a bit dim. |  |

It would be a bit of a worry if we're baulking at a price of £7. |  |

Pretty sure we visited this stuff a few months ago and it was determined by those with greater knowledge on the subject, that the way the Pension mob were investing in the club meant that they could pump in as much as they wanted and the club were able to spend it, without attracting any FFP implications 🤷â€â™‚ï¸ That was League 1, could be different rules for Championship? But as the money was brought in before we were in the Championship, League 1 rules would apply I guess. |  |

My understanding was that the initial £14 million’ish was paid to cover all those costs, the pitch, training ground, land next door etc [Post edited 12 Jul 2023 11:22]

The rules are different in the championship and the subject was dealt with in your other thread. |  | |  |

Not 'could be different rules' they are different rules for the championship. It will take you about 10 mins to read those rules and then you can up the level of your posts. |  |
