The changes coming into effect next season to reduce the amount of equity injections eligible to be counted as "football fortune" when calculating the maximum a club can spend on their playing budget are almost certainly a reaction to Birmingham City's owners spending like there's no tomorrow before facing restrictions more in line with the actual turnover of a club. In the short term it seems to have made the owners of other League One clubs suddenly want to get a load of spending done before they too are forced to reduce their spending on transfers and wages to more realistic levels.
As best as I can tell from a limited understanding, is actually is more OK to buy your way to the championship than it is to pay big money to stay there.
But I’m not worried about the money, it’ll be fine. By the time the “authorities” catch on, we’ll be in “The Prem”, Trump will be in a third term and Tommy Many Names in number 10. Mikhail’s a smart fella, palms will be greased, it’s all good.
Sounds more and more like they've had the "if we slide we start again, if we can go up we make real progress" conversation with ML and the chequebook/ kaspi app is firmly open. Nothing should surprise anyone anymore in football.

(It really isn’t good at all.)
I expect Berry to burst onto the L1 scene with us.
Berry in the high press sounds juicy to me.
He could be the best signing of the bunch
His elder brother is his agent.
By these accounts he has vim to burn.
All these Berrys seem to be good footballers.
And you called it spot on saying you saw a big transfer window ahead.
So hopefully you're right on this call too
George was my favourite
the exciting difference maker in tight game......called it
So long as we don't sign Mary by mistake, then things might start to crumble.
Signing Mary would be the icing on the cake of such a positive transfer window.
Or Chuck 🤦
We haven’t seen the chuckouts yet.
Have to go. It’s O’Brien time.
Matt Berry would certainly make all voiceovers and PA work a delight.

Power RANGERS
Must be James Berry
According to Alan Nixon we have made a bid for Imray
£750k!!!!!!!!!

750k bid in for Imray?! We could well have our first £1 million player faster than we think...
I dunno. I’m starting to yearn for the days when I rubbed my eyes with amazement at signing Steve Thompson for 50k
Morley
This whole thing feels very "through the looking glass".
Stop that
Wow, that would be a signing of intent. Is Alan Nixon a reliable source?
Rumours he Doesn't hit the data
