So my take as follows

Wilder was about to sign but got cold feet when he realised that embargo being lifted wasn’t a sure thing

Agreed to sign on basis of embargo being lifted.

Will sign if no one comes in between now and then

Nathan Jones lined up if above falls through

Meanwhile

Bowen on compassionate leave has meant things have gone v quiet.

Those with relegation clauses are activating them

Money is there to spend. IF we are allowed to spend it (see the decision if EFL when we were deducted 6 points)

So as ever it all revolves around EFL

Suspect it may be something like that

Said a few weeks ago that it may be something about restrictions being confirmed or not for next year

How can they restrict us further? We took the punishment, we arnt in administration, 3 years of bugger all signings....so what's left to restrict us on?.....Christ Man City should be in National League South if found guilty. This is turning into a bloody witch-hunt against us.

Dunno and there it might not be the case. I don’t know if there was any further punishments due for not meeting that business plan etc or maybe FFP

Lower West
Anfield Royal
Royal_jimmy I just get the vibe that we are a problem/hassle for Dai and he's not got the time to properly invest in the club anymore.


But why put another £6m in then?


Necessity. The club is walking a tightrope with the EFL if nothing else. Dai seems to want to operate by his own rules and continually argue the toss. Even when in the wrong.

What's his username?

They need to put the ST renewal date back a week, it`s less than 4 days away and nobody knows what the hell is going on.

We're playing in League One next season.

Now everyone knows what's going on, no need to move anything.

ILoveMoonPig If we get a decent player/manager, .


Player managers rarely work out so I hope we don’t go down this route

Any provisional business plan the EFL would have given us for next season would now be completely redundant. I don't see anything in the existing rules that would allow them to now draw up a new plan and punish us if we don't follow it. The £39m 3-year rolling loss limit applies specifically to the Championship.

I guess that they could ask us to demonstrate how we intend to follow L1 rules, which would simply involve the owners providing a guarantee that they will put X amount of money into the club. They can monitor that all they want, and frankly it's in our own interest that the owners fulfil those obligations.

Did confirm that Bowen is out on compassionate leave which had been mooted on Twitter but first confirmation from someone with known sources at the club.

hughsies no.1 The hold up isn’t because Wilder hasn’t decided, it’s done and dusted with him.

The hold is because Dai hasn’t signed it off yet. The hold up is with him.


This.

ok, fair cop, he did state that he is on compassionate leave - but didn't another journalist put that out there yesterday?

In terms of tangibles, it was lots of words, but very little of consequence - with a fair bit of his own opinions, which are baseless

the dig at the CEO isn't going to get him an exclusive interview any time soon, so I assume he has given up on getting actual sourced intel

Why would he need an exclusive interview with Dais chauffeur?

Elm Park Kid Any provisional business plan the EFL would have given us for next season....


They wouldn't be one as the embargo ends June 30th.

The embargo might end, but the documents concerning our points deduction clearly said that we had agreed a business plan with them for next season.

On the BBC article it does say that another budget was agreed with the CFRU (once the club's full profit and sustainability review had been completed for the current season which has likely passed by now) so we might be waiting on something along the lines of this before we can do anything.

The biggest issue from the fans' perspective is we are a bit in the dark about timeframes. But then again, is it really our business to know?
