Just read Leicester not sacking RVN until July to avoid two managerial payouts in the same PSR year. Could this be the reason we’ve not signed anyone yet? Not saying we are at huge risk or anything, but I wonder if there’s a queue of stuff waiting for 1st July |  | | |  |

Or it could just be that it's still very early in the transfer window, lots of players are on their holidays or still playing, and there's rarely much business that gets done at this stage. |  |

People are probably on holiday. I'm sure we will see things pick up once pre season starts. |  |

From the sounds of things we’re going to be very ambitious and aggressive in the market, as we should be. But that’s going to mean going after top targets who are going to have multiple options and a lot of negotiations won’t end in a positive result. I’m sure those conversations are going to be happening as we speak but we’re going to have to be patient | | | |

Yeh def could be - just asking those that are more clued up on PSR. Think quite a lot of people are naive to how much is dictates things these days and just pie it off with reasons like “it’s still early”. Remember we were told early relegation meant we are well ahead in our planning and discussions | | | |

By all accounts we had plenty of PSR wiggle room and will have even more wiggle room having sold Delap. It's not pieing off to point out that it's still early. Someone posted the other day that we very rarely have any deals done this early in the window. There's not exactly been loads of business yet and we're the only ones not making signings. | |

Exactly that. Only this morning we have been linked with a centre half that Man City signed in January and loaned him to RC Lens who were chasing European football in Ligue 1. However the report suggests that City want him to stay in France and that Lyon and Nice are interested in him.
That shows the level we’re aiming for. |  |

June 30 is the key date in the calendar as the end of the football financial year.
Player contracts typically expire then and it's the date clubs have to make their accounts up to, ensuring they are compliant with PSR rules. For that reason it's often called the 'unofficial transfer deadline day' as some clubs scramble to sell to balance the books.
We shouldn't be in any danger of PSR breach, having just sold Delap for £30m |  | | |

It is still early though and the level of targets we will be aiming for makes it harder. Guiu for example is with Chelsea in the US at the moment. | |

IMO It’s far more likely that the players (and their clubs) we're targeting are simply taking time to weigh up their options.
Take Josh Brownhill, for instance — he’s unlikely to commit until it’s clear that Premier League clubs are no longer interested or that a better offer isn't forthcoming.
Marc Guiu may be waiting to see if any strong La Liga sides come in for him.
And in Divin Mubama’s case, Manchester City probably want to keep him around for their pre-season tour before making any decisions. | | | |

Yes exactly. I suspect most of our action comes in the last few days this year | | | |

Our declared FFP losses were £12.4m in 22/23 and £16.2m in 23/24, so we're permitted to "lose" £32.4m this financial year. Amortised transfer spend was a bit below £30m, before we include any transfer instalments relating to previous signings (Hirst, Broadhead etc.) and perhaps agents' fees. All that spending is close to the amount we're permitted to spend above revenue, rather than eating into the revenue itself (significantly if at all) And our revenue must be north of £140m, before we account for the Delap profit.
Therefore, this shouldn't be a factor unless our wage bill was mid-tier PL level. And negotiations would have gone terribly for that to be the case, given the PL experience we signed (or lack thereof). I'm optimistic it shouldn't be the reason. | | | |

May be worth adding that if PSR is a hindrance today, that wouldn't bode well for signings after June 30th (given revenue will nearly halve in 25/26, and given we already have maybe £25m of transfer spending committed to in the 25/26 books). | | | |

It might just be that things are taking time due to availability. Not sure what people were expecting this summer, but I doubt it will be like last year as we have a strong core squad for Championship already. |  | | |

Wouldn't make any difference unless we were perilously close from the preceding two years (which, from the accounts, we weren't).
It's assessed on a rolling three-year basis, so delaying stuff this summer could cause problems as far ahead as 2028. Indeed, far better to include expenditure in the 2024-25 period, where we have had greater allowable losses than we will do in the Champ over the next year.
Leicester's problem is they have been extremely close to - or over - the line for several seasons, thus are wriggling madly just to stand any chance of keeping clear of punishment. [Post edited 22 Jun 10:52]

The shocking thing is it's still early in the window yet we're only six weeks from the start of the season. This is such a short summer compared to last year. | |

Yeah but Liverpool have just bought a player for£116 million , and we have spent nothing. | | | |

There are 7 or 8 clubs who haven’t signed anyone and several more who’ve only signed one. If we don’t lose many, we’ll not need to sign many. Things will take shape eventually. |  |

Could well be a big factor. Ashton/McKenna talked about being ahead in planning for this window due to knowing relegation was coming early so I would think there are things close to being lined up. Also as others have said the types of player we will be in for require some chain effects from prem sides. | |
