The only way we get more than £30m is if a club does not want to pay all of the release clause in one hit. Release clauses are 100% payable in full. They cannot be in instalments. If, for example a club didn’t want to outlay the full £30m in one hit, they could potentially offer more and pay in instalments. |

True. I’m just going off the guardian report stating a £30m relegation release clause.
There seems to be some misconceptions on here that there could still be a bidding war even if this was the case.
If the £30m RRC is true, the only bidding war will be wages, sign on and agents fees. |

Incorrect. We HAVE to accept any bids at £30m if the reports are accurate
No one will bid more |

Ha! I am not hanging all of my own hopes on this. I have been sadly pessimistic about our chances from a very early point in the season.
Friendly wager? |

Yes, apologies. Didn't go into the finer details of who does what IRO punishment.
The point on the deterrent is the key isn't it. Fine's and embargo's just won't cut it. |

Bookies making sure they are covering themselves. I think the odds were quite short even at the start of the season |

I can't see this happening personally, as they won't change the way promotion is obtained from the Championship mid season |

Lots of news articles popping up over the past few weeks that we are likely to hear the initial findings either in March or around Easter. So am starting to think of the most likely scenario's.
With an appeals process which is believed could take 'months' I wonder whether there is enough time for any punishments to be given this season.
Now, I know everyone's general thought is that there is no way the PL will affect that much punishment that it relegates them, but I have to disagree with this due to the precedent that it sets for everyone else. If it is only a fine or embargo, what stops Newcastle (as the richest club) then just spending ridiculous amounts in 1 or 2 windows to win some silverware, knowing a punishment is likely 3 years away minimum.
All articles I have seen have said somewhere between 60-100 points. Even 60 likely relegates them as even winning every remaining game would get them to 19 points. Either us or Leicester will finish on a minimum of 18
So, selfishly thinking about us, the hope is that any punishment and then appeals are finalised by the end of this season, and then of course we finish above Leicester at the very least.
I know it is a lot of if's but's and maybe's, but I am clinging onto every remaining hope that we still have a good chance of staying up. |

I also read the same and must admit didn't know it was a rule. Found this on give me sport website:
They have continued to change in recent years, with FIFA announcing in January 2022 that by July 2024, the number of players allowed to be loaned out and loaned in will be reduced from eight to six. During the 2023/24 season, clubs were allowed seven loan players in and seven loaned out. |

It means we are waiting for one of 2 statements:
I've heard there is nothing in this - all hopes are immediately crushed
There might be something in this - we all get really excited until he fails a medical on transfer deadline day
Or perhaps that this is a random link from Turkey and no credible source in the UK making it a non story |

Thanks Phil. I know you can’t mention any names but are we active on anything with regards to a no9? All seems very quiet |

Good point. Remember thinking at the time that Delap seemed more of a right sided player for how he was being utilized at Hull.
Not many tearing it up in the Championship. ELL is third behind Maja and Sainz |

Would seem so wouldn't it. Unusual that our interest is that short term. We often stay in the hunt for someone longer than one window |

Looks like the Atlanta Utd deal is being accepted at £16m + top ups. Makes me wonder why we are not jumping on this as surely the more attractive option. Edmundson could go the other way as a sweetener and make our outlay less.
I know we have heard we have moved on to other targets, but these targets are not materialising.
11 goals this season in addition to the 16 last year. Plays in a similar formation and role.
