Franchise FCStrandedFranchise FC Are we about to get £50m from Wolves for Loader ?
We seem to have a decent relationship with Chelsea - if he's not in Lampard's plans, they may well let him come for game time and pay a large % of his wages.
Just seems a small fortune is being expended - I assume there's some offset to come.
And it's not funding from the owners as that is specifically excluded from FFP, even if it's for 'commercial' rights. Just ask Man City.
For what it's worth, I think FFP should allow for owners putting capital into a club on the proviso that it's share capital and therefore they can't get it back if the club gets into financial difficulties they would become the creditor of last resort. Would allow smaller clubs to compete without compromising their entire future on a gamble.
MAn City don’t operate under EFL rules....
I believe owners can put money in but there is a limit they can invest in one season.
Any deals between related parties (ie club and owner, club and sponsor etc) have to be at a ‘fair value’. City got caught selling image rights at a hugely inflated price to their women’s team....
