How will this affect the gas next season in L1?
I understood that teams promoted from the conference get a 2 year transitional period where they can spend more than the fixed percentage of turnover (60% in L1)??
It has worked for Crawley and Fleetwood to a point but they both seem to be struggling since the 2 year period ended. |

I think it's best to play by the FFP rules from day dot, I'd assume over the coming years we'll have some lucrative sponsorship deals topping up our income...

Isn't it a salary cap rather than FFP in the 3rd? I could be wrong though.

I have been looking on the Inter Web for info about the money we get of the League People for being promoted to League 1 next season but am getting conflicting info
One site said we get £430,000 + % of TV Money
Another site said we get £1m ! + TV money from Sky
that is a big difference !

I guess there are plenty of ways round FFP so, if an owner wants to throw his money at a football club, he can quite easily do so.
Either way, I think DC has a real challenge on his hands now. He's proven himself to be an excellent motivator and the squad he has assembled is IMHO capable of mid table L1. However, as the 82ers have shown, there is a big step up in class if you want to be a serious promotion contender and an even bigger step up if you want to consolidate in the Championship. If "better" players start coming in on bigger money, there is a real threat to the spirit and togetherness that has been instrumental in our success. For example, Matty T is a popular member of the squad but, if he ends up on treble the money others are on, could it lead to discord and resentment?
Of course, I'd rather be in a situation where the manager has the option to "buy" success but we've all enjoyed watching a largely non league group of players develop and revel in their fantastic achievements. No cliques, no prima donnas, just an honest group of lads appreciating the fans and loving their football. The ideal for me would be to continue to improve by developing hungry players with potential rather than risking money and team spirit on big names. Our recent history demonstrates perfectly that there is no direct link between budget and success.
Having said all this, I think DC has a good eye for players with the right attitude and he has what it takes to get the balance right. Interesting times!

We split the team of 07 apart and had a bunch of mercenaries playing for us, I use the term playing very loosely. Its going to be an interesting summer. I don't know what I am going to do on Saturdays now. Feeling a bit low over that |

Didn't quite finish your sentence there KP but having seen some of your recent post I get your gist! I have tried to follow rovers more dispassionately in recent years because frankly it's been s**t. But the last 2 seasons have reminded me of what the club and fellow gas heads mean to me. A welcome diversion to the crap that life serves up and a sense of belonging and togetherness in an uncaring world.
I hope things improve for you and that you are able to enjoy the summer. We've got the Euros to look forward to and next season will be upon us before you know it!

I have heard that there will be no big signings but quality loanees in the near future, with the money being spent on the academy and ground thus giving us a sound base going forward. Which I think is the way to do things. We all know about a football club spending multiples of millions and not getting anything like value for money!!!

I don't understand FFP as clearly there are ways to get around it. Don't know how to post a link (BBC Football site Bournemouth) but I see that Bournemouth have been handed a £7.6M fine for breaching FFP. One paragraph quotes "Eddie Howe's side won the Championship title last season but exceeded Financial Fair Play limit's of permitted maximum losses of £6M for a season".
If this is the case then why haven't C*ty breached FFP limits having reported losses of £9.9M for year end 31.5.15 and £9.5M the previous year ?

I don't like the sound of "quality loanees" one bit. How does that create a sound base for anything? |

Have faith mate, I was talking to an ex city player yesterday who seemed to think his club arnt going in the right direction by throwing money at the team without a sound base. I for one am willing to sit back and enjoy the future. |
