Minteh

Once the year changes around our budget is the biggest yet allegerdly.

It's because the big spends will have move out of the 3 year limit and we have all the new CL stuff on the forms.

If the financial year ends, end of June, then that means going into next season we still have from July 22 through 22/23 23/24 and 24/25…

In that period we’ll have Botman, Isak, Gordon, Tonali, Barnes, Tino… so if my logic is right I’m not sure we have that much coming off the running total?

Biggest disappointment for me is that we were told that we have been operating with financial limits, and if we are selling because we have to sell then what does that say about how the club is operating and just how limited are we really.

This.

I dont know how the planning goes in the club. But if someone was authorizing summer deals and suddenly fells 33 mills short, then the question is where did they miscalculated?
I doubt they planned for CL 1/8 or 1/4, another top-4 finish?

DOnt get me wrong, Im happy with Tino in the b&w. Hall too. But one year ago it wasnt that obvious. if you are so tight on the budget you dont flop 30 mills for two back up fullbacks each same year you gonna be hit with FFP

Actually, as I see it - if its all true, then we were lucky to have Minteh overperforming, because if not him who else? The pnly thought I have is that Almiron had a U-turn on SA transfer

Personally, I think the club had planned to sell Miggy to the Saudi club in Jan, only for it to go south.

Then we'd have been fine on PSR.

I also wonder if we could have got past it by selling Ashworth's gardening leave time but the club have decided they'd rather Man Utd sweat it.

It sucks but not the end of the world in my opinion.

The guy could be amazing but we've just suffering for 15 yrs of financial decline.

It won't last long as the board are working to bring in more and more sponsors and increase the commercial revenue.

It would be typical, if he goes to Brighton has a stormer. Then in January Chelsea buy him for 100 million.

Given the rumours about Elanga, I’d be okay with him coming in to replace Miggy.

Obviously Anderson going the other way would be a concern, but still pure profit on the balance sheet unlocking spend this summer… and when I looked at the stats (Premier League only) for Miggy and Elanga last season:

Miggy: 3 goals 1 assist
Elanga: 5 goals 9 assist

When you consider the teams around both players, I’d say Elanga is clearly a decent upgrade… plus if you remember his pace and ability to run at people (he destroyed Dan Burn) then I could get behind that as a realistic target who will improve on what we have… and he would cost LESS than we’ll sell Minteh for.

On Anderson… be sad to see him go, but he’s probably after Miley in the pecking order, and if we keep Longstaff then for his own development he needs games at this point in his career… BUT… we have to have a sell on or buy back clause in place (and expect Forest might ask the same on Elanga)… and for both the clubs it makes sense from a FFP standpoint (every other f**ker is doing it &#129315

If Minteh goes, then I'd want those at the club to know something about him they basically don't like.
He might turn out to be a world beater or a talent with a bad attitude. I'm gonna have to trust the club on this.
As for Anderson, if 35 million is true then it's a great deal in one respect as far as FFP goes, but naturally, it's a wrench to have a homegrown talent leave.
Also, I like Elanga.
