Can't afford it. They were struggling to get things in order last season and I doubt that's improved much this season even after a few sales unless they go for it. They won't be spending 20m fees.
We've sold £150 million pounds of players this window, the most of any club in Europe. Gray, Summerville, Rutter, Kamara, Roca, Llorente, Cresswell among others. We now have a first team squad of 20 that includes 3 goalies. If they don't reinvest all the Rutter money and another £20m there will be hell on as we were told we were FFP compliant after the sale of Gray.

You think as a Championship club you're going to spend or can afford to spend 20m?

FFP is great, for now, but unless promoted this season you have what, one more year of reduced parachute payments. Whatever you do spend will have to be with that in mind.

I think you might spend something to try and keep you competitive, but it's unlikely be anything approaching what it would take to get Clarke.
 
Would have thought if it was signed we would have heard something today, perfect opportunity for a bit of a boost before the first home league match.

All guess work but I reckon there might be an agreement in place to sign the contract if nothing happens in the last 2 weeks of the window.
From JC perspective he has nothing to gain by signing the contract now rather than 1st sept
