FFP relief 23:46 - Jan 1 with 1557 views | HalifaxBlue | I'm not familiar with the intricacies of FFP regulations - is there any way to make some more room as Hirst has a long term injury? Would we have to de-register him? This window is going to require some real gymnastics I fear. |  |

Which I’m sure are high. The club could gamble on the revenue from playoff semis - gates and TV revenue. |  |

Which is potentially a fair gamble. |  | |  |

The club could also gamble on future player transfer fees as an income. |  | |  |

Can you sell the players you're planning to offload anyway for massively inflated fees? I'm thinking about the American owners flogging off such players to their other club, just to give more leeway to Ipswich. Or are such shenanigans highly frowned upon, and outright prevented? |  | |  |
FFP relief on 07:14 - Jan 2 with 1235 views | EssexBloo | Would the ideal deal for Stansfield be a loan to buy option? We could potentially get a fee for Ladapo. In terms of Vaz to Celtic I see no value for us unless we can get a PL GK for free, this seems very unlikely. |  | |  |

So if we think can sell (and then will have to) Leif for £25m in the summer, we can use that this January. |  |

I don't think there's anything to stop that. The PL wanted to try and tighten rules with that kind of thing, given the Saudi League could be used by Newcastle and I think Chelsea who also have some Saudi investment, to work their way around FFP |  |

Not sure the other clubs are wealthy enough to pull off a stunt like that. Also, the players might not wish to move to the USA just to play in their second tier, with limited chances of career progression from thence. |  |

Would be rather unwise to do so, given a loss of form, significant injury or vagaries of the market can drastically alter a player's value. The club would also then be forced into selling said player at the end of the process, whether or not it was by then convenient. |  |

And from what Mark Ashton has said we are not into taking that sort of risk . |  | |  |
