STFC Transfer Rumours

[Batch]

welcome to the forum mcrred.

the midfield is fine but keeping them all fit is a challenge. that's my worry

[Flashheart]

I wish they'd hurry up with this umbungo.

New poster here. I've been reading this forum for a while and have really appreciated the updates and STFC chat as it can be difficult to stay on top of it up norf!

On the current squad, I think last season should be written off as no-one performed, and Grant's apparent performances in pre-season hopefully show that. I think a core midfield of Payne, Gladwin and Grant (if he signs) would be potentially one of the best in the league. We need strengthening up top with an experienced proven striker so all the pressure isn't on Simpson, and out wide as we have no-one currently who is of the quality we need (I can't comment on McKirdy as I haven't seen him but the reactions have been mixed). I think a backline of Iandolo, Conroy (if he stays fit), Odimayo (if he stays) and Hunt is strong enough too. There are a lot of variables and we obviously need to strengthen to have any sort of squad depth, but I don't think we're too far away from a competitive first XI.

See you all at Scunthorpe!

Fuck off!

I thought the traditional welcome was to call a newcomer a cunt...?

Listening to the TOTT on the BBC again, and looking at the EFL website we’ve already got the first part of the Embargo lifted. It’s just the 1 million pounds we’ve been given by the EFL to be paid to lift the other part. 1 million pounds……
I do think we can sign players on longer deals now (hence Simpson’s loan) it’s just now wage restrictions.
I could be wrong. Usually am.

Well as I see it there are three ways it gets paid. Clem stumps up 100% of the money himself, the club pay it 100% when the season ticket money has rolled in or it is split between the club and Clem. Anyone else think of how it gets sorted. Oh it may be paid in instalments like the inland revenue, other than that?

Don’t toe the line on here mate and you will. Welcome anyway.

Or the EFL retain money from the amount that gets dished out to each club. I know it’s not £1m but it’d be a start.

No good if it is at the end of the season though.

Edit. Or is it staggered?

Clem should have enough to pay it now and worry about recouping it later. Otherwise he's going to struggle to meet his ambition to get us into the Championship.

I suspect it's just a matter of paperwork and having to faff about with moving money.

Show your workings.

This does bring me back to a point I’ve raised a few times. There must be funds available for clearing these debts as Axis only paid £212,500 for the club when, at the beginning of the buying process, they were willing to pay in excess of ‘Able’s’ supposed £7.5m.

It should be obvious.

1M should be a small amount for somebody who claims to want us in the Championship - especially considering there's money incoming to help recoup it.

And, yes, there will be other costs like wages to pay but if there's not enough to do that as well, then...

And I'm not expecting him to bankroll us before anybody tries that angle. But he did buy the club well aware of the 1M to the EFL, and removing embargoes would surely be a priority.

Not only that, but we've been told it should be done in the next few days anyway. Although that was a little more than 'a few days' ago. I reckon there's just paperwork holding it up.

You seem to be forgetting the money that comes in and NOT siphoned off into Power’s arse pocket.
