Just revisiting the “Simms†debacle 10:23 - Jul 12 with 10515 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. |  |

No, its £50 or no deal |  |

Just revisiting the “Simms” debacle on 10:32 - Jul 12 by 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. |

Just revisiting the “Simms” debacle on 10:48 - Jul 12 by TalkingBlues | 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. |
In League One clubs' player wage budget is capped at 60% of turnover (Salary Cost Management Protocol), but the owners can increase that by directly investing money (but not by borrowing). As the title implies, the purpose of the rule is for every club to keep their wage costs sustainable. In the entire EFL, clubs' losses are capped at £39m over 3 years, less if you're borrowing money (Financial Fair Play Rules). That loss is about revenue/expenses, it's irrespective of investment. As the title implies, the purpose of the rule is to promote "fairness" by restricting the competitive edge you can get from external investment. It applies in all 3 divisions, but it's quite difficult to spend £13m+ a year on 3rd/4th tier footballers, so you only really notice it in the Championship. [Post edited 12 Jul 2023 11:12]

Just revisiting the “Simms” debacle on 10:54 - Jul 12 by Nutkins_Return | 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. |
Must have missed it, but I guess money accumulated prior to our inclusion doesn't fall under the Championship legislation as we were in league 1. I believe the the allowed expenditure is 90% of income for the upcoming season isn't it? Sliding scale over the next few seasons down to 70%. Obviously we are allowed to overspend by way of "secure funding" up to £13 million I believe. Interesting bit is how the EFL treats the £30 million in the bank from share purchases whilst we were a league 1 club, classed as revenue? (probably not?) will we be able to spend all of that money before the 90% rules are applicable? maybe the club thought so which is why they were pumping as much in as they were, when they were? |  |

It's a rolling three-year aggregate, which will include what we spent last financial year in League One until 2026-27. There is no benefit regarding FFP in money injection before July 1st as opposed to from that date on. There may be other reasons why they wish to tuck it into the 2022-23 accounts, but not FFP. |  |

Presumably this cash injection would, on paper, wipe out any and all losses accrued last season (when we were under different rules anyway) in the accounts, effectively allowing us to make greater losses over the following 2 seasons given the 3 year aggregate scenario? |  |

Put it this way, they’re not splitting the atom any time soon. They support a team which wears yellow and green home and away kits. They like getting up close and friendly with their families and they sing a song with the lyrics “kick it out, throw it in, have a little scrimmage”. |  | |  |
