In all honesty, I think those who expect a promotion push next season might be in for a shock. I think it could take us a couple of seasons to adapt to this salary cap - same with a few clubs in this league (Pompey, Sunderland, Ipswich etc). I'm sure everyone at the club is praying it doesn't get passed through on Thursday but it's looking pretty likely as it could be a great thing for smaller clubs.
We're probably only looking at three or four more signings - probably all on loan - at most unless we can act fast in the next couple of days.

33yo, 11 assists in L1 last season. But a RW, not sure that's an area we need?

Nah I agree mate. One for the 'linked' Twitter thread though.33yo, 11 assists in L1 last season. But a RW, not sure that's an area we need?
Clubs spending within their means would require a percentage of revenue / turnover being capped, rather than a flat number that’s applicable to both Sunderland and Accrington, despite one of them regularly getting crowds more than ten times the size of the other. Otherwise you’re just spending within other people’s means.
Does Tiger front all of those losses? Dont we aim to recoup said losses from the sale of players?But isn't a percentage what FFP tried and failed to implement? More nuances mean more loopholes.
I have little sympathy with the argument that Pompey and Sunderland should be crying that they have to recognise a healthy profit and develop some players instead of buying their way back up.
I also think I find our current situation more precarious than most on here. What happens to OUFC if Tiger says he doesnt fancy fronting the money for our losses next season?
Read the article. Lincoln remain in favour
Yes we aim to recoup, but someone has to pay the bills before the fees come in. According to our 2019 accounts, we owed more than £10m to Group companies.Does Tiger front all of those losses? Dont we aim to recoup said losses from the sale of players?
