Presumably it will be couched as net spend
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Why now?
- Thread starter Doc Lynam
- Start date
How did that actually seem reasonably plausible as I was reading?

There's a firesale in a toy store and Tony's the only one with money.

I should coco
Because FFP has meant most clubs are brassic so there is value for any club with money …. Which is us.

One big reason is that we are one of a few clubs who actually can spend this summer. Which means a) not as much competition for the player to consider, b) less bidding 'wars' driving up prices, and c) we don't need to sell to buy as we've already done it over the last 2 windows.

plus :(mystic meg time)
* Man City getting a 50 point deduction
* Liverpool, have a new boss and no money to spend (judging by them not spending)
* The toon project being a disappointment
* Villa getting overstretched by CL
* Chelsea being a sh!t show
* Ten haag sacked in November
* Tottenham being Tottenham
that just leaves us against recent chokers Arsenal in the race for the title! (imagining, of course, that all the other clubs don't exist)
I've only gone and jinxed it ... Sorry big Tone
no europe for us and the revamped champs league & eufa teams have 8 games to play before xmas - more injury & fatigue risk
best chance every for a domestic cup & top 4 finish.........

Yes, the existing PSR is on a three year rolling basis and so my understanding is that we have a window of opportunity on that front to spend now, before the new % of revenue rules come into play, especially due to our previous two very profitable accounting periods.
It is probably PSR rules as above and also I think it is TB and PB buying into Fab's philosophy. He is a nice guy and I think after RDZ they are finding him a pleasure to work with.
Also I've noticed that a lot of these players coming in have spoken to Fab so he must be a very persuasive guy.
If they can get Kadioglu, O'Reilly, Rutter and the french defender, we are cooking but I am not greedy!

How many of the new boys will line the bench though, or do those that thrived when not injured get to bench warm? Solly, Fergie, Enciso, Hinchelwood, et Al would have been certain starters last year if fit, now?. Also maybe this year time to start weaning in a backup captain now Llalana and Gross are gone.? Van Hecke would get my vote

Yes, but big spending at Chelsea screwed up their season let's hope Fab can manage so many talented players and they can respect him, I am trusting this young Fab is extremely good at man management and can deal with it all. A very tough ask, but I am open to see what Fab is all about.
Tony = professional gambler
RDZ = gambler

Another plus from improving the depth of the squad, it should mean less injuries as we can rotate more, which will be vital with the aggressive press.
We don't want to be fatigued come February, and finish like we did last year.
So a combination of the right market conditions and implementing what was learnt from last season.

I wondered if a part of it is if citeh are successful in challenging the APT rules then the state owned companies will have unlimited funds so players will go up in value, meaning any players you have can be sold for more but also players you buy are more expensive.
Not the whole thing but a part maybe?

I don't see that personally. Yes I know he's a sicknote but Lamptey is good when available. Veltman is pretty decent at man marking and seeing out a game, Hinshelwood looked really good in the position and is fit again.
And that's if we play a back 4 and not a 3.
Another would be great but we're ok imho

New format for Champions League post-2024: Everything you need to know
From this season, clubs that qualify for either the Champions League or Europa League are guaranteed a minimum of 8 matches, playing 8 different opponents.
I think Statman Tony has calculated his chances and decided now is the time to go all in with his chips..

PSR has hamstrung the clubs that usually gazump us. Tony is all in. I’m guessing we’re doing the next couple of years business this summer.
