Is it just based on transfer fees I'm guessing?

If so, it probably does include the aforementioned as well as Baldock, McNulty, Aluko etc. Low cost players like Clement and Araruna will also make up a small percentage of the total cost as well. Rafael was a free transfer was he not? Or was there a compensation fee involved in his move?

this time next year we will be top to bottom, or bottom to top, whichever way you look at it.

Wages and player sales will be through the floor compared to other teams.

Will they buggery.

Who cost money in our squad?

Joao 5
Puscas 8 (debatable)
Ejaria 3
Moore 1

I’m struggling to make 24m

Do the most recent set of accounts include Aluko and Baldock? Those two plus Rafael would probably do it.

Yes McNulty too, and would Gunter and mccleary be on these sets of accounts?

McCleary was a free transfer. I don't know what the measure is, but Gunter (and Moore for that matter) should have a pretty low value due to amortisation over multiple contracts, if that's the measure being used.

So Barnsley away to Hudds tonight in a must win. They're down with anything but a win.

Thanks for the clarification on what 'must win' means. Had no idea until you explained it.

[SouthDownsRoyal]

What are we saying then, tonight is a must win for Barnsley?

Only Weymouth Royal can answer a question of this magnitude. He is the authority.

No problem grumpy bollocks.

Same for posh tomorrow. because their GD is far worse than ours.

[paultheroyal]

So if Barnsley draw tonight, are they still in the mix for safety? Must win, that mean they can still stay up mathematically?

[NathStPaul]

Good god.......

[paultheroyal]

and the same scenario applies to Peterboro?

No and yes

Barnsley are 11 behind with 12 to play for. So they must win to stay in the mix. It's on the telly-box if you want to watch it tonight.

I'm so watching this.

Barnsley 8 points out of a possible 63 away from home so probably a nailed win tonight.

I don't know - it's still a worry. If Posh draw tomorrow and we have a mare and ship 4 again, losing say 4-0 then the gap is 6 pts and just 13 goals.

next round of games:

Reading 1 WBA 4
Millwall 0 Peterborough 3

We go into the last day knowing that a 4 goal win for them married to a 4 goal defeat for us will see us down.

Don't say it won't happen, just because it won't.

This post is most unlike you. Even I don’t think there is any chance of
Posh ending up with a goal difference better than ours. I think we will be safe tomorrow.

[NathStPaul]

We are safe now. HTH.
