Vital Champions League
We can.Interesting then that a club seen to have a similar budget to us are able to sign players while we cannot.
We are choosing not to ....... for the right reasons

Possibly. Scally has chosen not too.My guess is we will have a few players on a decent wage signed up when pre season starts .Then the squad completed with a few cheap signings after that.Longer you wait for the cheaper signings the cheaper they are likely to get.Interesting then that a club seen to have a similar budget to us are able to sign players while we cannot.
True there will be plenty of freebies available, but the better ones will be snapped up sooner rather than later. Our team will look very different from last season’s, especially if Tucker and Ogilvie are sold.Possibly.

It is likely that most of the loan deals have already be provisionally agreed.True there will be plenty of freebies available, but the better ones will be snapped up sooner rather than later. Our team will look very different from last season’s, especially if Tucker and Ogilvie are sold.

I would very much like to see Alfie Jones return for a season long loan again. I thought he ran the midfield at times last year and seeing as his preferred position is actually full back I think he could be a key signing. Especially if either Tucker or Ogilvie decide to F off.
There are loads of quality potential loanees in the Championship. Some of the clubs up here in the NW have deep pools of young talent - Blackburn Rovers is a good example.
We'll have Dack then
How about we loan him here for a season. Just to get him match fit like. And prove he’s still got it.
Win win
Can't see Dack wanting to go to Australia?
That is one answer lol.Don’t knock it mate. Sunny beaches and lot less Covid. He’d love it for a year
Should bring all the EFL teams out here to play in a Covid-free hub

Almost a Ponzi scheme.It's not a business model solely used in the states, it's global. The deals are called Leveraged Buy Outs.
Let's look at Pizza Express.
It's been bought and sold multiple times (by private equity firms), and very little equity will have been put into the sale each time and will have been funded by debt.
eg Pizza Express is valued at £250m. The new owner might give the old owner £25m which they have available and the remaining £225m will be paid to the owner after they've raised the money against Pizza Express. It could be bank loans but more often than not, it's from other private equity funds.
These loans will come with interest and of course these need paying. Each time a restaurant chain gets sold in this manner its profit margin gets eroded to the point where it's so thin the only way to keep it going is to increase volume of sales; or open new restaurants.
It only takes a slight increase in running costs eg after the Brexit vote ingredients from mainland Europe became more expensive, or a dip in cash flow and the whole thing, to be quite frank, is absolutely fucked.
It's a great way to buy a business without using much of your own money. When it does eventually fold the people left on the hook are the creditors- the people who loaned the money to finance the purchase.
This is indeed how the Glazers purchased Manchester United. People kicked off because loads of £ every year goes to financing the debt and isn't reinvested into the club.
Sorry for the long post, turned into AK for a bit there

I saw a stat back on the 16th July: FGR have now signed 94 players in 4 years, including 11 goalkeeers!Forest Green Rovers (league 2) have signed 8 so far, but they do have an owner worth £100m plus! To be fair though they have only replaced the 8 who were released!
