1. We don’t like going over a certain amount for any player. In the past we have bought players in and around 60 million mark. Maybe we can’t afford to spend more in order to meet the requirements of FFP and ensure the club is continuing to make a profit over the recording period. This is why we haggle and have lost out some players in the past. Maguire and van dyke comes to mind.
I have read on here that FFP is slightly relaxed now into a rolling 2 year period maybe that will allow us to spend more.
2. You stated that it shld not matter if we pay 90 million and I disagree as it seems so does the club or KK would have already signed.
The figures quoted are unrealistic post covid. No one know what impact covid will have on how much we can spend per season apart from those directly involved.
I could be wrong on my conclusion. Preswitch would be the one to get a more concrete answer on all things financial.
I am merely suggesting that maybe the reason we haggle is because we cannot afford to spend the money mentioned and still pass FFP.
