Takeover News/Rumours

[Safc88]

Budget's no bloody good if there's no space in the squad and, even if we do manage offload someone, the replacement will have to paid around £2k/week.

If the new owners bring in a recruitnent team and sign good young lads that shouldnt be a problem

Dr

He won't.

Great. Needs to happen soon like or we will slide even further

 

[Flash Gordon]

If money's there, the only thing you really can do is hunt out the very best under-21's you can find. Of course, a pre-requisite will be a preparedness to play them.

Marseille and Monaco under 21's would be a good place to pick up some loans in January. Give us the chance to get a scouting system set up for next summer.

We've discussed this before - bring in some quality and give them big bonuses for objectives in competitions that are easily attainable. Complies with the cap. If we have any cojones we'd do this and if the league kicks off let them go legal.

Not sure how Brexit would affect that plan, but it's a thought.

Have they said what the actual punishment is for breaking the salary cap is? If the new owners have got money and it's just a fine we could just sign who we want.

Sadly, that avenue is likely to be closed after December 31. Players like that won't qualify for work permits once free movement ends.

That wont happen with this manager. That is why he needs to go if that is our only hope in January.

We were crying out for pace an energy today from the 60th minute...we brought Embleton on in the 82nd minute and Minimum Power in the 90th with the option of 5 subs.

If I was a premier league club SAFC would be the last club in the country I would send a quality young player with this manager in charge.

Financial penalties plus transfer embargo.

Would it make a difference if "we" didn't pay them?

 

[Scotlands number 9]

I reckon he knows his days are numbered and he’s just sitting it out now waiting for the pay off.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Would it make a difference if "we" didn't pay them?

No. It's that they aren't British. From January 1, EU citizens fall under the same immigration criteria as non-EU citizens.

Gettin. Being forced into not buying any more garbage with no sell on value could work to our advantage. We show no signs of doing of our own accord

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Thanks to Brexit (and unbeknown to most who voted for it), getting a visa for non EU citizens will become easier, so maybe we convince some decent Paraguayans to join us?

Overspending, getting promotion as a result, and then being under an embargo in the Championship would be just a bit less than ideal.

What if we call it a holiday? From Monaco for a bit of Sunderland spring sunshine.

It would aye. Is it for 1 season this embargo?

Financial penalties, for breaking a rule that was brought in, to stop clubs going bust.

The logic.

Only if you meet the points requirement, which more or less mandates an A-level standard of education. I've had a long look at the regulations, and, other than being an elite player (ie the current non-EU work permit requirements), there doesn't seem yo be a way round it for footballers.

Don't do it unless we can have a cut. The uefa model.

If you're still subject to the cap, until you get the wage bill below it. It's not clear how ling you'd be penalised for getting promotion by overspending.
