The only rules regarding recall clauses are they’re only allowed in season long loans and the recall can only take place during the winter transfer window. I presume, but don’t know, a notice period could be included in a loan agreement if both clubs agreed to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might have been looking at FIFA regs which seemingly required 28 days notice before you get get the player back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the risk you run with loan players and we have to accept it as it's out of our control. Signing players is within our control and we need to move quickly. Do I expect that to happen? Absolutely not. -1 player, but our second highest earner off the books and I'm sure a nice fee from Stoke to terminate the loan. So, spending spree incoming, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here goes… At £200m in the red, I reckon Venkys probably understand the concept of having to spend more than they generate. 🤷🏽♂️ Whilst I wish they hadn’t decided to take a hiatus from pumping £20m a year in, your point is pretty odd considering the money already spent. Disclaimer - I DO NOT LIKE THE VENKYS, THEY ARE TERRIBLE OWNERS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED ASAP. Which is why we're baffled they won't cut their losses and sell if it's such a burden to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might have been looking at FIFA regs which seemingly required 28 days notice before you get get the player back. If there isn’t a recall clause a player can still be recalled (during a transfer window) if both of the clubs and the player agree to it. The only additional caveat is this can’t happen in the first 28 days of the loan. Could this be what you’re getting mixed up with? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we took on his wages from Stoke he would have been amongst our highest earners. Stoke wanted a transfer fee for him in thr summer so I'd personally be surprised if they let us have him without taking on his wage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers11 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Didn't think Baker added much. JRC needs to be in the middle until Trav gets back. We almost certainly now need to bring in cover in CM. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave it there Omg Your posts suggest without Venkys there would be nobody else to cover the losses. Kent exile replied a more savvy owner wouldn't be losing as much money and would have used parts of the Wharton and Szmodic fee to reinvest and bring in other assets that can be sold for profit down the line. Our owners don't do that though and it is 100% on them, not Waggott, not Pasha...the venkys ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B16Rover Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Listen John, I know you wanted names through the door and we've just lost Lewis but listen. We've got O'Grady-Macken - that's 2, arguably 3 whole names there. Think of the savings in the wage bill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
