And we are on the wrong side of the fence.
Premier League 2 will be here soon, and we will be looking in from the outside |  |

Woeful decision, but we are all paying for the extravagances of a few poorly run clubs

So you’re saying we’re now more reliant on good coaching and astute management? Oh. |  |

This doesn't make sense at all, how many L1 and L2 teams have multi millionaires funding them in an unfair manner?
Why should Bradford in L2 who get 15,000+ a home match be forced to spend the same as Colchester who get around 4000 |  |

Have to bend over backwards for the financially incapable at this level unfortunately.
Just a greater emphasis on academy grads I think, often on less money initially than seasoned pros. |  |

Any club in the history of the game with worse timing than us?
Not that our lot actually deserve more than £2.5m between them. Can we see any legal disputes coming from the likes of the PFA? |  | | |

What does it actually mean though? Has someone got a link to the actual details?

Or more positively, more reliant on youths of which we have plenty of decent ones.

"but we are all paying for the extravagances of a few poorly run clubs"
I don't think it is even that, think just some clubs seeing opportunity to pull bigger ones down to their level. An utter joke that clubs with an average attendance of 20k are limited to the same as those with 2k.
I wonder if the PFA can get after it for restraint of trade | |

All players currently at the club are treated as though they have a wage of £1300 a week for the remainder of their contracts.
More from Stuart Watson below
With a rudimentary calculation of 17 current senior players all being treated as £1,300 a week earners, Town’s declared wage bill will be £1.2m for salary cap purposes.
That £1.3m wriggle room would allow them to keep what they have and still go out and sign four or five senior players on around £5k a week if they so wished — very good money for this level. | | | |

Who get hoovered up by mediocre champ clubs who can offer them 2k a week more to sit on the bench | |

Another positive, means we don't have to hear people harp on about ME plugging a gap and now he can be solely judged on his decision making and leadership, wonder how that will turn out. | | | |

As said, the issue will be when these contracts run out. We need to get promoted and fast, well done on screwing up last year, Lambert. | |

Absolutely. It is imperative we are promoted this season before contracts run out | | | |

Fact.
I heard the argument on TalkSPORT suggesting it levels the playing field, but the reality is clubs like Sunderland/Ipswich aren’t on a level playing to that of Rochdale et. so, we have different resources at our disposal.
You couldn’t have summed it up better than it is smaller clubs clutching to try and bring bigger clubs down to their level, and unfortunately at this level there are a lot of more small clubs than big ones.
Originally I didn’t mind the idea post financial impact COVID, but the more I’ve thought the more I think it’s ridiculous. | |

Daragh McAnthony mentioned the possibility of amendments being attached to the plans. Any thoughts on what these could be? Flexibility on the cap limits? A vote to be taken on different limits given the inherent absurdity of a difference between 18 million and 2.5 million? |  | | |

The only good thing is we have roughly half our budget to play with as Stuart Watson said wage bill now is counted as £1.2m due to the £1300wk average.
Means this season we have to get up | | | |

It's not really a positive - we don't get to hear people saying the truth but now e do have to watch our owner flounder | |

Based on our remaining budget, we could sign 5 players on £5k a week and still be within it.
Garbutt won’t get much more than that in L1 | | | |

Was going to say the same.....the club is cursed.
It's already 'bonkers' that we are now only 2 leagues above my local non-league club, Weymouth. How much worse will it get.
Lambert is a Grade A Conman. Fraud. He's ballsed this up, massively. He needs to have a bloody good start.......but maintain it this time. |  | | |

Obviously a very big gamble, but I reckon a couple of clubs (Portsmouth, Sunderland) will just have an ‘all-out’ approach on getting promoted the coming season and surely the punishment (a fine) will be worth it with the money in the Championship.
Edit - I notice a number of clubs have made significant signings prior to today’s hearing so they don’t count. Another trick missed by Ipswich with our leaving everything to the last minute approach. [Post edited 7 Aug 2020 13:58]
