Luton Relegated Celebration Thread

It's looking that way.

 

Still… Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

 

The financial regulations are different though.

 

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your point. But clubs can't evade the rules and any punishment simply by moving up a division. Even to the Premier League or down to the National League, which are different competitions overseen by other organisations. There's plenty of precedent for clubs being punished by the EFL in one season for actions in a previous season.

Plus the rules have pre-season and in-year reporting requirements, so it's not solely a report to the EFL after the event.

I'm not saying a club couldn't blow through the limits and get promoted. But given it would defeat the purpose of the rules completely I'm sure a suitable punishment would follow.

One thing I did learn is the cost cap is 75% for a Championship club newly relegated to League One. So they get a bit more leeway. But I reckon that's why they're trying to shift so many players despite having parachute payments. They don't want a transfer embargo.

 

I'm fairly certain that the parachute payments after a PL relegation are there in order for teams to get their financial affairs in order (high wages) and not so that they can purchase a £50M centre forward.
A double relegation which leaves a team with players on Premier division wages with a L1 income is a catastrophe . Hence the fire sale at the kennel .

 

3.5m for Aasgard - that's a snip of his potential value! Ha

 

Such a bitter statement about it on their website too. Delicious.

If only the Norway manager wasn’t such a meanie, waah waah waaah…

 

All is not lost tho .....a 17 y.o. from Exeter City reserves has been recruited to plug the gaps .
phew !!

 

How dare Norway not pick players in League 1!

 

This is the funniest one for me because they were so excited about his development.

 

What did they pay for him ?

 

Thay paid Wigan £3 million.

 

Ok - 17% profit, that's disappointing, I rather hoped they'd lost money.

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

To hazard a guess, if you deducted his wages during his time at Luton from the profit, the profit would be a lot less.

 

This article says they paid Wigan around £3.5m.

While they might have booked a profit in the end I'm pretty sure they've had to sell him for less than they've have got as a Championship club.

 

Yes presumably but they got performances on the pitch for that salary, adequate enough to have increased his value despite the relegation ?

 

My memory must be getting worse, I'm sure I read somewhere that it was 3 mil.

 

Yeah there are other sites that say £3m. Assume it was undisclosed.

 

Considering the massive bonuses he would have got from being so ******* good apparently, that means they’d have made a loss on him?

 

Disappointed we didn’t go in for him . Pedro money would have paid for it .
Quick bleaching, spray him yellow and he would have been ready to go

 

Another one sold - Reece Burke to...Charlton. Jones rebuilding his horrible team.

 

With that queue of no-hoper Hatters recruited, the SE London's favourite Hobgoblin has now decided on a re-run of the MK Dons fiasco. Look out for some renaming and a late orange kit reveal incoming. Our opening Championship fixture is now away at North Greenwich's Kennel Stadium, where we take on the London New Scum. So its the Hornets versus the Tangomen.

Helpfully the New Scum's pocket head coach has pre-recorded his post match interview for anyone unable to make the 12.30 kick off. We're all familiar with his tales of woe and lame excuses, the ones he always uses.

 

They've now done us a solid and removed Nakhi Wells from our penalty area
