If there’s a sell on clause with Mills which I think there is, I can well understand the club holding out for more.
I’m not so sure BvK will want to playing L1 football and plenty of suitors will be in the championship for him.
I’m sure we can let BVK go and still have a good season especially if we can strengthen in January.
 
I looked on the Preston forum, they seem to think they got mills for a significant amount ? Also the guy from Charlton, they have apparently sold their captain to Wrexham to fund it?

Just passing on what I’ve been told. Can’t tell you his source of course but he says there’s no doubting what has been relayed. Danny Mills has also started following PNE on instagram apparently, if that’s of any consequence. Very much hope it’s all wrong of course.

I doubt the fee for Whiteman would fund it as it is being reported as £3m, especially for both. It may make the difference they could need however.
 
If there's any truth in Mills to Preston, you'd think there would have to have been a significant recent uplift in the offer

I've just checked, he isn't. Maybe Danny is, like Rubens dad did before he signed :D (Danny isn't following pneofficial either).

IF Mills AND BdK go then we will be out of the transfer embargo and will be able to bring in replacements.

But I'll be amazed if Mills leaves, and would put the likelihood of BdK going at no greater than 20/80.

I think the same about BDK but thought Mills would go with or without the embargo
Such a talent why would he waste time in League 1 when he can play in the Championship and get a much better salary

I’d like him to cut his cloth accordingly and run the club in a way that stops us just racking up more and more debt. I think that is starting to happen.

But funding the club runs up more debt every month, building the stadium will rack up loads more debt. Are you trying to say there's 'racking up more debt' and there's 'just racking up more debt'?

There is a difference, money spent on the stadium is building an asset whereas money spent on players just vanishes
 
Come what may we go with the players we have . Mills ect was just passing through our ranks to climb into a higher echelon club , it’s life and we have to accept it ! However, if we go under the 23 player cap I’m sure Ramsey will have something lined up , he is aware of the interest in some of his players maybe some exiting times ahead , never a dull moment at OUFC !!

Did you actually mean 'Exiting Times' ? Hope it's not true.
 
Mills might go
Mills might stay
Same applies to BDK
Where will it be
Nobody knows
And we don't know
If it will lift the EFL Embargo

Needs work

How so? Because that's not what the rules on the EFL embargo page are telling us

The rules about coming out of the embargo will be different than the rules around the number of players in our squad that allow us to sign a replacement for anyone who leaves?

Because someone would still have to show the EFL that they can afford the level of spend. It would be cheaper to do so, in which case maybe Thohir would do it, but you’d think if that was a genuine option then they’d have pushed the sales through at the first sign of trouble. The communication from the club is generally terrible, but they’ve been crystal clear about the fact that they plan is to retain players rather than sell them.

This has never been about covering the level of operational spends for the season. This is about doing this AND paying the shortfall that arises from the 65% ruling and putting the same amount again into infrastructure that we haven't got.

The reason they plan on retaining players (and the reason why I don't believe Mills or BdK will go) is to buy time to either bring in additional investment or to offset the overspend on stadium costs (once we get the green light).

I know we've spoken about this before, but can I just check the logic again, Scotch. SCMP rules state that only 65% of turnover (and 65% of equity injections) can be spent on 1st team squad / manager costs by year 1 relegated clubs. The remaining 35% must be spent elsewhere (infrastructure, academy given as examples). I don't get where you're getting the 'same amount again' from. Are you conflating it with the 50% number for non-related clubs, perhaps?
