It’s very evident now with the recent charges of Everton and Forest that not only in the PL but Championship, teams very clearly understand the threat of breaking the FFP rules and the consequences that arise from it.
The days of Spend, Spend, Spend are definitely over and I for one applaud that.

Both Leicester and ourselves have recently admitted publicly that funds are very limited in this window.

But plenty on here wanted us to spend spend spend.
Glad we apparently spent within our limits, but wish we'd spent better!

Hence why we need outgoings and why we ate mainly looking at loans.

But it will also inevitably mean OP that even more likely promoted teams will go straight into a season EPL R battle and likely relegated

My 3 picks for relegation Burnley, Luton and Sheff Utd will very likely be correct. their lack of team/ squad quality wil be decisive

Credit to all 3 teams though they aren't going down without a fight.

Rubbish. We got money to spend alright. Just can’t negotiate a good deal.
Don’t believe a word about us having to be careful.

Can’t negotiate Aus? What about Kamara, Ampadu, Gnonto, Piroe, Rodon’s loan, Summerville. I think we got some belters for good value. With maybe the exception of Piroe, the value of the rest is far more than we paid.
I agree with most, we need a few more well negotiated deals for a couple of fullbacks, CB, No 10 and maybe a replacement for Willy if he goes. Still a couple of weeks to go, so fingers crossed.

Why such pessimism, Aus? As MG notes, we've made some very good deals this season under Hammond. The Orta days are in the past.

And agree with OP and Alf. Loan to buys are becoming far more prominent in this FFP climate for a lot of teams outside of the top EPL teams. It is what it is and we need to be realistic with what we can do with or current limitations.

Spot on MG. The value tied up in our loans out also create the noose we have to operate within, whether Aus believes it or not…!

Piroe out of position. Gnonto 99% sell on fee. Jimmy? Now we going back.
Amps ridon kamara given. Still only 50% ability.

No idea what you mean Aus?
