Has anyone itk got an incline of our summer transfer budget. I get champions league may come into but I'm talking of basic transfer budget?
24 Mar 2026 14:52:23
£20 million for Moore.
£10 million for Djiga.
£8 million for Olsen.
£38 million in total.
This will be offset by selling Souttar for £15 million after an exceptional WC.
£40 million for Chermiti after an excellent performance for Portugal U21s.
£10 million for Gassama.
£25 million for Fernandez.
Leaves us with a profit of £52 million, minus the sell on fees, which means we will have a further £30 million to invest.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
24 Mar 2026 15:10:55
Surely Gassama goes for at least double that. 🤦♂️
24 Mar 2026 17:18:48
Heard today, Gassama definitely away in summer, wife can't settle due to religious beliefs. She has moved away to France with kids.
24 Mar 2026 17:22:18
Is she Christian Blubell?
24 Mar 2026 18:01:23
Think most fans would be happy for him to go. The big issue for us is recouping some of the bigger outlays. Chermiti, Aasgaard, Miovski, Antman.
24 Mar 2026 18:12:04
Paul, I think 3 of those will be here next year unless we get the right money for them.
24 Mar 2026 18:20:19
I was being conservative ( don't know if Ed will allow that word🤣 ), Davie.
If he keeps having an impact as a 10 minute sub off the bench on his favoured LH side, I'm looking for £30 million👍
24 Mar 2026 18:43:49
Spud, not being funny, but still think your valuation is too low lol.
24 Mar 2026 19:08:43
Bluebell, is that true?? Just thought I'd ask to save me from Googling it.
24 Mar 2026 19:10:48
Aye Aasgaard, Miovski n Antman. 🤔 😉
24 Mar 2026 19:46:14
Obviously Fork. 👍 🙈
24 Mar 2026 20:47:19
Christian Bluebell, sounds like adult entertainment name. 😳
24 Mar 2026 21:43:50
Fork - Zak Lovelace for the win. 😂
24 Mar 2026 21:53:40
MVG. 👍😄

Saw online Curtis is going to be part of Rohl's 1st team plans next season. Would be good to see a youth player getting a run in with squad if this is true.
24 Mar 2026 23:05:19
Mvg better with his sister Linda, lol.
25 Mar 2026 07:23:57
Mss would be great news for club.

Our transfer budget under UEFA's Cost Control regulations is based on our allowable Squad Cost Ratio of maximum of 70%.
Squad Costs / Adjusted Revenue = Cost Ratio.
Squad Costs: Includes player and head coach wages, transfer fee amortisation, agent fees, and termination payments.
Adjusted Revenue: Includes operating revenue (tickets, TV, commercial) plus net profit from player sales.
To determine our total spending limit, multiply the club's total adjusted revenue (c£90m) by the applicable percentage (70%) = £63m.
Subtract the current annual wage bill (c£44m), existing player amortisation and agent fees (c£11m) = £8m.
Note, this is how much we can add to Squad Costs, not how much we can spend, so this £8m includes wages, fees and the amortised cost of the transfer.
Note 2, this doesn't include any additional revenue from net profit of player sales.

Thanks, Ehl. I knew of the 70%, but correct me if I'm wrong, is there not something where you can break that rule as long as it's under control in 2 years? Did we not do this a few years back, and that's why we were on UEFA's watch list?
25 Mar 2026 13:15:27
Gassama's wife stays in England and she has been for 3 years. She never moved to Scotland. Gassama also moved his dad down there.
Not saying she never went back to France, but I find it hard to believe she hasn't settled 3 years down the line.
25 Mar 2026 13:22:15
Davie, I think that was something to do with adjustments made to the rules during COVID to take into consideration the impact it had on revenue.
25 Mar 2026 13:38:35
Ahh OK may sound right with the loss of revenue. Thanks
25 Mar 2026 16:42:29
Can overspend over the 3 years, I think, but there is a threshold of how much you can overspend by.
25 Mar 2026 18:07:40
There's an injection of £15m for players and other costs that has been announced today.
