Looking less and less likely that we will see any new incomings other than maybe a loan or two. Noises coming out that we are at our SCR limits and very few believable rumours about players. This may be it, folks.

I think there is nothing coming in.

It's going to be Mudryk and we are then done.

I'm a NITK, but feel 1 more will arrive! 2 if Willy goes!

We're about 90%, just over the 85% limit on SCR. We can still go to 115% without penalty, but would have to claw it back over the next two seasons. The main thing is to ensure we stay up, have a decent squad going forward, and build on the two years in the Premier League.


We're probably one of the teams with the highest SCR at the moment, as we've made significant outlays and very little from sales.

Correction. We stand 10th on SCR with £44m headroom. The ones who are supposedly over the predicted red limit at the moment are Chelsea and Bournemouth, who are about 128%.
The ones who have a lower % are basically the rest of the big 6, including Spurs (who all voted for SCR) , Sunderland and the three promoted teams.

Bournemouth surprise me, they seem to buy low, sell high. They never seem to make much of a loss on a player, although I imagine TV revenue and ground monies are lower than some.

When does the ER rebuild kick into our revenue? Is it the season after next - 28/29? That's not long.

Bournemouth's problem is income. £7m on gate receipts, and £27m on commercial/sponsorship. Our comparative figures are £31m and £58m. The ER expansion should add £20m plus.
Bournemouth should be concerned if they get into Europe. The SCR will fall to 70% from 85, and although income will increase, so will expenditure.

More squad players will be required, and wages will probably go up, as contract clauses related to European qualification kick in.
That's why they have to keep selling, and may well have to let someone else, maybe Brooks, go if they are to get back to 115% SCR.
