Swindon Pair

I don't think there will be an embargo, there will be a negotiated fine. Embargoes are for clubs already in the championship, I think. I was just getting a little exercised by rampant speculation (aka bollocks) spouted as fact.

 

Not so. Firstly a summer embargo is a very different thing especially for a side relegated from the prem. No precedent there.

Also in any case the embargo did not apply where the club had less than 24 'established players', which included players who had made 5 starts at the half way point of that season.

Do you honestly believe they will let us go into a season a few injuries short of not being able to field a side.

There should be no doubt , we will be allowed to sell some of our big names and big earners and then replace them with cheaper alternatives like we are trying with the swindon pair

There is no logical reason for them to do otherwise

 

? On a subsequent post in reply to Goldie I said I don't think there will be an embargo. The point I was making was your statement around 'no precedent for an embargo for breach of FFP' is just plain factually wrong. My lack of telepathic powers meant that I did not pick up on the revison about 'summer embargoes for relegated teams' that you have just inserted.

I know your forum persona is to pick a fight with anybody who responds to you, but if you put "I think" or "I believe" in front of some of the stuff you post as fact a lot of grief on here would be avoided. It's not a crime to be wrong once in a while, and it's certainly dignified to admit it. I think, I have no personal experience of fallability.

Was pretty sure Luongo would end up at Villa. Not so it seems. Beginning to look like #QPR have got him and Gladwin.

Not definite of course and you have to remember he is still a journo but a much better rep than many others.

 

These are the sort of "proper" signings we need. Impressed thus far.

 

A Swindon ITK fan reckons they are inbound to us.

 

That's what I like to here Ellers.

 

They have far more chance of first team football than at Villa, good start to the recruitment campaign if we pull this double off...

 

I thought this was a done deal??!!

 

Why would anyone in their right mind choose to join a circus like us if the option of Villa exists? I hope it's not money. Surely we've learnt our lesson of attracting players by paying over the odds.

 

But no guarantee of 1st team football at Villa.....whereas with us, step up from League 1....

 

What about ambition and self-belief?

 

King hell Kerry, give 'em a chance. By that logic we will only sign the near dead last pay cheques and terminaly useless.

 

... like we usually do!

 

I think Charlie Austin has done us a big, big favour.

Signed for us in the Championship
Won promotion
Raised his profile, value and earnings potential
Been given an England call-up.
Will probably move on to a "better" club, still in the Prem.

Imagine being able to negotiate and point to him as an example of what CAN be done.
Looks far better than sitting on the bench once in a while at Villa, praying for an injury crisis to get a game.

 

Anyone know what's occurring with the Swindon lads, alledged had there medicals so what's going on, oh yeah it's our transfer policy to delay matters.

 

Luongo signed by all accounts

Done deal! great news

 

Kerry I was tempted to ask whose ambition and self belief you were referring too.....the 2 lads or us as a club

 

I can't remember the last time we signed what seems like a decent couple of players, under the radar and with no fuss and fan fair.
It looks like TF has finally learnt his lesson.
Happy days.
