Batts I reckon we'll just have to hope for the best atm and as soon as this month ends we will all find out what the situation is regarding possible breaches of these financial rules if as Don suggests it's going to be difficult to get the 30 odd million in transfer sales by June 30th then so be it but hopefully we only suffer or are penilised by way of a temporary transfer embargo until Summerville for example does eventually leave for what looks like Brighton or Palace.
Gnonto meanwhile is being linked with Forest but I think
he wants to go back to Italy but either way as long as Leeds don't get any points deductions which really considering what Leicester got away with would be just taking the mick but let's face it if there's a chance for the EFL to do us over they are almost certain to take it but ever the optimist I will be keeping everything crossed this time next week things look a whole lot rosier.
Look at Adam Wharton. 20 years old. Moves to
Palace for somewhere in the region of 20 mill.
At the Euros with England. Are either Cree or
Archie with twice Wharton? Nope.

They didnt sign him for £20m, when he was an england player 🤦🤦🤦

I’m also surprised by the news from Don. Doesn’t really make sense to me and doesn’t add up. Look at the analysis that’s been done of the accounts up to last year and the professional opinion is that everything is ok. Also add into the lack of scrutiny that the football league has placed on this year’s accounts in comparison to Leicesters. After all this is the same accounting period that is being debated.
Given the position that Leeds are in following last years account it would take a really significant loss to this season to put us beyond the limit, never mind being £40m beyond the limit currently. Which sounds improbably to me.
However, Don is pretty much always spot on. If not always. And we obviously don’t have all the facts and figures. As we shouldn’t expect to. So I am worried. And a lot more worried than I was before Don typed his comment.
If Don’s info is as genuine is often is then we are not in as strong a position to get out of this league as I expected.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The way I see it we're worse off then last year. Will struggle to make the playoffs.

Still can't read then. Never said Palace signed him
when he was an England player.
Palace signed Wharton for 20 mill. He's 20. He's
also with England at the Euros. Full International.
Take whatever logic you're throwing out and apply
to Summerville and Archie.
Summerville isn't a full Dutch international.
Not at Euros. He's 22.
Archie isn't a full international. Nor is he at Euros.
He's 18.
So again, are either Archie or Summerville worth
twice as much as Wharton. No.
If we're expected to pay 40 mill by June 30th
then selling both will have to happen to raise that.

How much you have to pay for Wharton now ?
£50m/£60m ?
Thats with 2 caps.
Am not saying they are worth 40m, your logic is totally flawed and not like for like.
Blackburn have always been a selling club over recent years. They probably snapped their hands off at 20m. Id like to think we would hold out for more for our players.
Would be happy if we signed Rodon but wont cry if we don't. Theres plenty of other defenders out there. Think we need to spend on attackers if we lose Summerville and Gnonto.
Click bait Newsnow linking us with Jack Clarke which with our apparent financial restraints seems highly unlikely but even so I'd say he's the Championship version of Cole Palmer and if an EPL club doesn't snap him up it would be great if he did return to us but like I say I think he's beyond our reach unfortunately.

Perfect for us, Macca, over-rated, over-priced and more biscuity than Bamford.

Fair enough Farky and good point as I forgot about his
injury record which probably only increases the likelihood he will join our ranks of sick note merchants.... but seriously the times he was fit to play last season he looked a class above but like you say he unfortunately seems to be cursed with a poor injury record.
Anyway I think we do need at least one new wide player with Summerville and Gnonto likely to depart and Poveda and Anthony no longer an option so I'm wondering if we'll finally get to see the perennial rumour
mill of Ryan Kent joining Leeds finally come to fruition.
Lets take a worse case scenario for selling everyone thats had links away so far;
Gray - £30m
Summerville - £30m
Gruev - £10m
Gnonto £17m
That would leave a starting line up something like below. With £80-£90m brought in of which almost all of it would be profit for PnS purposes.
Piroe/Bamford/Joseph
Rutter Aaronson James
Ampadu Kamara
Firpo Struijk/Wober Llorente/Cresswell Byram
Meslier
I would love to keep Gray. But surely whatever the PnS situation is currently we can make a success of this window and bully our way out of the league.
That team is still a great place to start from with a decent budget.
