Didn't realise that Reading had signed Charlie Savage. He can play. Surprised he's dropped to league one, would have been happy with him here. Apparently it's not completed yet, or hadn't last time I saw something. Reading still up shit creek financially and the EFL haven't allowed his registration yet.

Well that won't matter, it's not like town to actually pinch players from other teams.

Coventry just dropped 7.7m on another striker; after spending 3.5m rising to 8m on Ellis Simms.
Reinvesting? Crazy strategy!

Coventry just dropped 7.7m on another striker; after spending 3.5m rising to 8m on Ellis Simms. Reinvesting? Crazy strategy! When it comes to FFP, do you declare the cost of the player or how much you pay out each year? If those players were bought over 5 years, that's £3.84m each year. The problem arises when you have to sell them as you have to settle the balance. Maybe we've actually reached a point in FFP where teams can't afford to sell players? You buy a player for £10m over 5 years costing you £2m a year. You sell them after 2 years for £15m, having paid £4m and have to settle £6m of the remaining £10m. You receive £3m of the £15m in sales for the first of five years. That would have cost the club, in the following financial year (since the transfer window opens after the accounts close), an additional £1m to sell a £15m player for which they made £5m! Year 1: £2m out Year 2: £2m out Year 3: £6m out, £3m in Year 4: £3m in Year 5: £3m in Year 6: £3m in Year 7: £3m in Net: £5m over 7 years, or £714k per year Of course, this doesn't include salaries.

Surely he would have been just the player for us. I want some evidence that we're even considering such players, who wouldn't cost the earth, let alone negotiating for/with them.

Let's hope we are truly in for some! Why do you think he wouldn't cost the earth? Some have posted we can't afford a £500K transfer fee and we have been told some premier league loans want £1M fee plus the full wage cost. If this is true a premier league loan may be out of the question, in spite how good a season with us can help with players development.

Not championship per se, but if we think we’re having a bad time of it, take a peek at our neighbours in south Sheffield…
They’re not exactly signing proven talent (not too dissimilar to our stint up there) and both Sander Berge and Ndiaye have forced moves to Burnley and Marseille respectively. What they have signed may have potential, but it’s raw. They’re arguably in a similar position now, if not a little weaker, to how they started the season last.

Believe the intention was for Hodgkinson to introduce his own loans in to the club to facilitate the repayment of Hoyle's. Repayment of Hoyle's loans was rescheduled (postponed) during Covid when the club's cashflow was adversely affected. When Pure failed Hodgkinson wasn't able to introduce loans (even if he had intended to) so Hoyle continued to make them so the club could continue to function albeit on reduced budget. The extent of the new loans compared to repayments he did receive is not clear but should be shown in the next set of accounts. They should also show the extent of loan write offs (we are led to believe) Hoyle has made on the sale to Nagle and what amount remains to be repaid if a return to the Premier League is achieved. Was sale to Hodgkinson the wrong call? - history has shown it was. Many expressed concerns at the time but I'm prepared to accept Hoyle entered the arrangement in good faith - there is nothing in his long association with the club to suggest otherwise. Similarly the poor signings which prevented any substantial Premier League legacy won't have been made to deliberately undermine the club and Hoyle will carry the brunt of that in the loan write offs (subject to confirmation in accounts). As such I struggle to understand why so many distort or ignore facts which don't suit their narrative, to portray him as the villain of the piece

From the actions taken by the club it would seem that he decided at that point to just keep the club ticking over and look for someone else to takeover. He found PH and that did not work out too well and he had to step back in again. A lot of posts are made in jest or to make a point so I would not take them to heart.
