Football Manager, Telegraph-style. .

Brannagan sounds interesting, hadn't heard of him before.

edit- damn the yank from Parks and Recreations and his speedy fingers.

Six potential summer signings.

Most of those have been mentioned on here wonder if the Everton fan reporter got the list off the MB instead of doing some research himself

nothing FM about that list of names by the Telegraph. In fact, all realistic targets if their clubs are willing to let them go on loan, and if Bowyer is interested. Rather have those names, than more Etuhu and Danny Murphys filling their pockets

twas a joke...but Barrow started playing for Swansea in their last few games. The other loans are only realistic if their clubs agree to meet everything but £10k of their wage and no loan fee is involved. The others on frees will probably need to accept lower wages than they are on now, especially the likes Of Quinn who will be able to take his pick of sides in the Championship.

So yeah, it is a bit FM actually. Lets see how many of those 6 turn up at ewood this summer

probably non of them will, but if they come on loan, their clubs would probably pay most of their wages or half of it anyway. i doubt most of them are on too much anyway.

[bobthesock]

Good list

[tugay5]

If we are under an embargo still and wages are capped at 10k then the likes of ward, Quinn etc will be getting offered much more than that from other championship clubs so I think we will be out of the running. Of that list in the LT i think we will only get doneil Henry on loan. Would love ward, Quinn and wood but money talks and they will get offered bigger wages elsewhere

Isn't denying companies their wish to remunerate their employees at a rate of their choosing a restraint of trade?

Athlete- what's this Everton connection you keep alluding to??

Of course it is. But we've been very bad and broken the rules so we 'deserve' our punishment, regardless of several other clubs inexplicably being let off the hook.

[chaddyrovers]

I think Ward, Wood and Henry are very possible signings IMO. Wood and Henry on loan.

[JHRover]

I've seen it mentioned somewhere else, but if we wanted say Ward but could only offer him 10k a week and he wanted 15k, then what would stop Rovers offering him a 3 year deal at 10k for the first 12 months and then 16k for the next two years?

That way his contract would be worth the same and we would only be signing a free agent within the limits of the embargo. Surely they can't stop us paying him more in 2 years time when we could/should be out of the embargo?

[J*B]

Can't we give him a 10,000 / year deal with a further £260,000 / season bonus should we gain three points throughout the season?

[adsfortheblues]

I would agree with this, it's a valid point that has been mentioned before, and one of the reasons why the FFP may eventually be scrapped.

Barrow is very reminiscent of Josh King, except that he's not injured all the time and has a small notion of what a good final ball is. Still very raw, but with bags of potential.

Josh King is NOT a winger. Only our delusional manager and his tombola thinks he is.

HaHa, in all seriousness though performance-based pay is something of which the club needs to look at and be clever with, it isn't breaching the rules, the phrase "pay smart, not pay more" should be ringing throughout the boardroom. Pay more will always be the strategy most likely to lead to success. In the Financial Fair Play era, however, all clubs would be well advised to pay smart.

Someone remind me why we seem to be the only club in the country hampered by FFP, despite have these supposedly wealthy owners.

Can't speak for any other club Stuart, but we lost £42m last year. Miles above the allowed limit.

I guess if anyone knows how to hide those losses they should let the owners know.

QPR seem to think they can argue they haven't actually broken the rules by writing off 60m worth of losses which was described when I heard it discussed as moving the losses from one room to another on the accounts. Sounds a bit of a thin argument on the one hand, but on the other if the debts are genuinely written off and aren't actually repayable by the Club what's the problem? Who are the Football League or anyone else to say how an owner or owner can't spend their money?

The whole notion of FFP as it stands is completely ludicrous and must be contrary to every natural rule of law or the Human Rights Act, you name it.

Must be against freedom of trade.. It's like telling a business who you can buy sell.. Lose money on etc... QPR belongs to Fernández he should be able to spend on it as he sees fit

It can't be against freedom of trade if the club's voted for it to become part of the rules.

Did QPR we don't know if they did.. If they didn't it's another defence on their part..

No it's not Athlete. You can't walk into a social club if you're not a member, citing that you weren't there when the rules were made.
