Exactly this. It’s also why we’ve been extending contracts.

Ok. I was told by someone similar that it was permanent (that was on Saturday). I’ve also been told btw that we wanted to make sure given the jury’s a bit out on others from that league, so who knows. One thing is certain - it’s not FFP.

Fees get spread evenly over the length of a contract. Doesn’t matter when the cash changes hands. And this was always a permanent deal as far as anyone is aware. It’s changed late on today.

I’ve just answered that in a later post (the logic). Don’t think this is anything to do with FFP. And for the reasons you’ve given. The 1/8th of a fee (6 months of a 4 year deal) can’t be much more than a loan fee (may even be less).

Adding to my own post btw. This was definitely a permanent deal until last minute. so someone somewhere has moved goalposts - quite probably the selling club who may have wanted more in the event of x, y, z. Which is why it may have become a loan and permanent when the answers to x, y and z...

FFP doesn’t work like that. As I’ve said about a hundred times now,

Could quite easily be the other way round. ‘If we don’t get relegated’, ‘fee is x but y if we get promoted’. Etc etc

Must be.

Well it was supposed to be permanent so that’s weird. Must have run into problems so it was quicker.

I haven’t seen anyone wetting their knickers. I do find it odd though that we haven’t brought in a forward given we only have one.

We won’t be fine if Vipotnik gets injured will we given he’s pretty much our only goal threat.

What’s that supposed to prove? He still isn’t an obvious choice for manager. Tell me. If we have a crap first half to next season, does that then mean he’s the right appointment in your eyes? Obviously that would be ridiculous, chopping and changing according to recent results. But yet that’s...

And only one fit striker.

There’s a succession of people you’re continually arguing with. Perhaps you should look at the common denominator.

I said we should have one striker as back up to our only striker. If you think that’s the same as a dozen, great. And who said anything about proven Championship managers? Making stuff up doesn’t make your argument a reasonable one.

No one said that. The matos appointment was and will always remain, stupidly risky given our position at the time. Whatever happens doesn’t alter that. Which is why he was managing in the Portuguese second division btw not at a higher level.

It was a humorous reference back to the Matos discussion you and I had a few weeks ago mun. Lighten up.

The Forest one was called off on Friday and this one put in place Saturday / Sunday I thought? Can we recall Lissah at this stage?

We have spaces in our squad.

Don’t know whether it’s been said or not but we have been trying. That Birmingham bloke was one option.
