I think Bonne will tell QPR to shove it up their arse if they recall him. |  |

First real test of this new ownership group this month imo on 15:14 - Jan 10 with 1217 views | southnorfolkblue | Not sure there’s much of a comparison tbh. We were top of the Championship not mid table in League 1. We also didn’t have a salary cap to contend with. Owners may be ambitious but there are serious constraints on what they can do. |  |

Up to a point. Cash injections rather than loans can be used to increase turnover and thus wages allowed. Would be a statement though to inject money rather than loan it (which wouldn't increase turnover for wages). SB |  | |  |
First real test of this new ownership group this month imo on 15:21 - Jan 10 with 1144 views | itfcsuth | I’m not so sure it’s the first real test. They’ve ticked a lot of boxes to date, even to the minimal things like ground reno, reinstating the community trust, up to the larger things like building an incredibly talented squad for League 1, sacking Paul Cook & appointing McKenna on a long term deal. The Walton deal may be done, but Brighton playing games with us won’t change our approach, we want him, but only if the deal is right and works for us. |  | |  |

Hadn’t thought of this. Maybe Ashton does know what he’s doing. Very smart move if this is the case, bet they were annoyed the Lincoln game got P-Ped. Would make sense as to why the teamcard points are only valid until 31st Jan. |  |

But the FFP rules can be circumvented by the owners putting in equity can't they? I think that is the significant difference between League One and the Championship, so our new seemingly keen to invest owners should not mind too much about that. Especially at the levels we're talking about. |  | |  |
