DurhamRed 2,047 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday are buying survival that in the long run will lead to another points deduction unless they stay up and get promoted next season. Link to post Share on other sites

They've not long confirmed Marriott on loan. They're getting Flint on loan too. I suspect that Chansiri have probably sold the Leppings Lane Stand at Hillsborough to Derby for a fiver who then installed ten new 60w light bulbs, had it revalued as a "potential" Concert Arena now worth £50m, rented it back to the Owls at 50p a month and then split the £50m difference with £25m each hence allowing plenty of wiggle room for new signings while still meeting the EFL Financial requirements. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Is this going to be our usual deadline day? Lots of hype and no activity ? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Benhrama has failed his medical at west ham. That’s a huge sale Brentford miss out on. They must hope he can keep up his good form now. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not so sure, haven't they got all the money from the stadium sale available to them at this moment in time. I thought the reason they got deducted points was because they tried to include the stadium sale in the wrong year to try to escape punishment but it was already too late and didn't count towards FFP measures. I think the stadium sale is now on their books and that's how and why they're able to spend now. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah in short term they have that pot of money they are now spending but in long run pushes up costs that inturn goes into next period. It's unsustainable. Link to post Share on other sites

It's unsustainable. They are now eight points from safety and fourteen points from the Play Offs which they probably figure they can make this season if they put a run together at some point.

Oldham boro 64 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 If we do manage to sign anyone before the 5pm deadline, will they be eligible to play tomorrow.?? Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Based on previous windows I would guess everyone is in the pub by now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Why is it everything happens in the last half hour of the deadline or even deals announced after the deadline that were clinched just in time before the clock struck five! Exasperating, frustrating and annoying all at the same time. Surely if Bolasie as an example is coming here then he has had at least a few days to think about it and for all parties to get things sorted, same in reverse goes for Pears etc. At least under lockdown we know they can't go down the Pub.
