So what you’re saying is, in our attempt to not sign another Will Grigg, we brought in…….

There are some similarities tbh. Gelhardt has a way higher work rate and will most likely go on to have a better career but neither are target men or players that are focal points in linking up. And both have missed big early chances and fell apart.

I’m not saying he’s another Grigg btw, just that the start he’s had is similar.

Why isn't every club doing this then if its so easy?

Most clubs aren't a subsidiary of the owner's main business, but are owned via a separate investment vehicle that doesn't get tax relief (which only applies to groups). What Gibson does is far from usual.
 
It seems we're screwed up front, so why not shore up our defence and midfield for now, rather than throw all our little wingers on? Then try and nick one. Getting humped at home is not good for morale.

That's the source of his funds you're talking about. That's completely irrelevant tbh.

Surely wages higher than turnover should be crippling them, no? FFP only allows an owner to put in 8 million each season? Or can an owner put in 8 million, plus rack up losses, so it essentially equates to 13 million a year, and just write off those losses at any point?

For FFP, you can offset with transfer surpluses. That's great until the season you don't generate them. At least half the division are currently sweating on not going over the three year limit.

You can dress it up any way you like, but the Championship is a financial Bedlam (in the mental hospital sense)

Ignore transfer surpluses. Can a club lose 13 million for 3 consecutive years and pass ffp if the owner writes 15 million of losses off and puts 24 million in equity into a club thus meaning the club has no debt?

Why don't others use this then if it gives certain benefits?

We signed a few players in the window who we don’t play. Fair enough if they’re not good enough that means the window was a disaster. But we read on here it was a good window (barring the obvious), if it was why aren’t those players starting games ?

Spot on. Only a good window if it has impact. Today we got humped at home and the window players were not involved or had no effect = poor window.

We haven’t got a centre forward mate. Gelthardt is not up to the job. We were completely fine before Stewart got injured again.

I’m not excusing today mind, that was disgusting.

I agree but when he's gone and the powers that be decide against bringing a striker in, make us hard to beat, don't play with one in midfield.
 
He's doing a decent job imo. Don't get me wrong there a legitimate questions to be asked it would be hogwash to not to. But the club is going on the right direction 😎
