Transfer fee when he was out of contract in 6 months, three and a half year contract that QPR couldn't get near, zero sell on value so all dead money, north of 30. Wages 212% of income.

Thatâs correct but that season drops off next year and apparently they will make a huge loss next time which will put them over. | ![](/images/avatars/1481.gif) |

We also didn't break the bank with contracts for Hall, Onouha, Robinson and let them move on... none have particularily set the world alight since.

Master Sheen and I were wondering on Monday night what had happened to Idrissa Sylla, the accidental goalscorer, since he left us. Eight goals in three seasons, including two in a year in India. This season, just made it off the bench twice, for a total of 19 minutes and no goals, for Farense in the Portuguese second division. | ![](/images/avatars/1288.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Furlong, without doubt, the one we should have kept. Would have made a huge difference to what has been a massive problem area for us this season. We will not find another like him for 1 million. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Think its debateable. He's more of an old fashioned right back than either a wing back or the one on the right of a 3. Would still like him to have stayed though to see if he could have preformed one of those roles. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I know, itâs bang out of order for a âvoluntaryâ organisation to suggest theyâre âowedâ money! The mind boggles that they can do this when poor old poverty stricken football clubs could go to the wall. [Post edited 29 Dec 2021 13:49]

If thats the case, then ÂŁ38.4m smacks of some very "creative accounting" or "massaging the figures" so it falls perfectly into a ÂŁ39m loss over 3 years. I doubt proper planning and sustainable management had anything to do with it. Well done QPR for cutting their cloth early enough, albeit after a massive court case, fine etc | ![](/images/avatars/19336.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Wage caps seeks parity in limiting salary costs for all clubs in the league. FFP allows clubs to spend in line with their resources which may be different for each club. It could be argued that wage caps are anti-competitive whereas FFP is not as long as the rules are adhered to of course. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

No idea what SteveC has said, but wage caps punish the workers not the owners. Presuming they are legal, enforceable, and fairly distributed, they still wouldnât end assert stripping, debt stacking, or making a club bankrupt in any way. Not saying huge wages arenât a problem because they are. I read a recommendation once on a parliamentary paper stating that 40% of wages to net income was a reasonable and sustainable figure. Why not start there? The Bazza solution is enforce FFP properly, declare all sports clubs CICs, then create a law making bankruptcy of a CIC (in this case a football club) by wilful means, or incompetence a custodial sentence. This covers all bases, is pretty loophole proof, and takes the burden off the EFL and puts it toe CPS instead. The CPS have no conflict of interest or commercial considerations to enforcing FFP like the EFL/FA/PL do. This would deter the wronguns and focus the well meaning, and to SteveCâs delight would naturally result in players getting paid less. | ![](/images/avatars/6600.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Old argument,but they left at the worst possible time.We were starting from a weaker position that the play off winners Swansea.They left it so late to sell to Fernandes that all the targets that Warnock wouldâve planned for had already gone to other clubs,because of the uncertainties surrounding the take over. The only ones left were the ones that nobody else wanted. Itâs a bit like starting your Christmas shopping at 5pm on Christmas Eve and hoping you can get what you want,but all the good presents have gone.But youâve got a full wallet to buy something to keep everyone happy. | ![](/images/avatars/4993.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
