Football runs in waves if we stay up this year
With Eze money we will be in top six in two years time
This is my prediction
We have good assets on Eze and Chair 20 million

Presuming someone buys Eze. I am sure that people thought Zaha would have been sold at some stage, but never did.

Best chance of Eze going is if they go down

Best chance of Eze going is if they go down No one actually can predict this outcome My prediction is he will go Others think he will stay Even if he does stay chair will be sold for 5-6 million Nothing to panic about really is there

Football runs in waves if we stay up this year With Eze money we will be in top six in two years time This is my prediction We have good assets on Eze and Chair 20 million Given that the FFP cycle is 3 years, my feeling is that we'll have one big push once the most expensive of the previous three years drops out of the equation. Then we'll have a bit of a splurge on players and push for promotion. If we fail in promotion, I suspect we'll have two years of austerity, before repeating the cycle in the third year once more. As for Eze, I'm a bit worried he'll stay at Palace. He has shown himself to be loyal and could easily stick around. Also, his injury record could put off the big boys. He's nearly 26, so possibly at the peak of his career for a couple of years. If he doesn't move in the next two summer transfer windows, his value will start dropping appreciably.

I normally find him very authoritative on this subject but I was left just totally confused by his latest article. My only takeaway from it was that he didn't understand how we could possibly be under the £39m over 3 year limit on spend but, as we did some business in Jan, unless the board are completely stupid we somehow must be - probably. So don't think the article took us forward at all really. Seems harsh Stains but then he is my mate so I am bound to defend him. The biggest problem is we do not know what the non FFP elements are that can be added back, nor the savings on wages of Les, CR etc. Si has assumed there was a bit more headroom created by that than he believed to be the case. Trouble is that info is not in the public domain. All fair points Jack and was not looking to be critical of Simon, I have read his articles on FFP in the past and they have been an education. He is a good bloke for using his obvious professional expertise to help us fans try to understand the predicament. Think it has been useful with previous accounts because, whilst we can all blame the board for stupid past decisions, given where we are its not as simple as "just buy a fucking striker FFS!" as some fans like to shout. I get that this time there is a lot of crucial info not in the public domain so impossible for him to give a definitive answer. My frustration was not with him but our situation as fans - I get as fans we are not entitled to know everything but given such major mismanagement in the past we are justified to feel nervous. It seems we simply have to trust the board to have got this right - and that's not an entirely comfortable place to be. No offence intended to Simon, and apologies if I came across that way.

No problem Stains. Simon seems particularly interested in this topic which is a little strange as he is an IT bloke and not a Bean counter like me. It should really be me doing the analysis but I struggle enough with my day job

Can anyone throw some light on these new financial rules that are rumoured.
Or are they just a means for Man City to get away with murder?

If I could change one thing in football agents would be right up there or very least how they operate.

Actors and authors for example pay a percentage of their earnings to their agent, end of story. in any modern deal 3 agents are involved. One for the selling club, one for the player and usually one for the buying club. After a rule change in the 2000s it stopped the same agent acting for selling club and player to reduce conflict of interest. The player will then pay a percentage of transfer fee and wages to his agent.

I get that its important to stop that conflict of interest - that we had an agent for a manager and most of the players we were signing under Hughes was the first really big sign to me that our owners didn't know what the fuck they were doing. But just seems a huge amount of money for not much work. For example, when you are buying a house you don't need three estate agents. Probably naive of me but surely it's the job of the DoF and the recruitment team to represent the club in transfers? Surely one parasite is enough per deal?

Completely agree Stainrod - three times too many agents.
Parasites is a very fitting description.
