[jon1959]

Talks with Kasey Palmer have broken down

Can’t say I’m too disappointed about that!

The reports say he is on a £1.2m pa salary with a year left on his Bristol City contract - and that he only played 204 minutes in the Championship last season before being bombed out by Nigel Pearson. So expensive (there might also have been a transfer fee involved unless Bristol City just want to get rid), stale and unwanted.

I'm not disappointed either.

I guess they wanted a fee (I doubt, they'd probably rather save the 1.2m), or he wanted somewhere around the same 1.2m in wages and we said no/the clubs couldn't agree to a compromise.

[Enoch Mort]

The provision is £20m.
You’re right, though. If Cardiff City are found to not owe Nantes, then it just means they can unwind the provision in their accounts, but sadly, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there is £20m sitting in the bank.
It puts things into perspective. This was a young man’s life and it’s become an ugly business.

I’m guessing that the transfer fee would be £15m which, if successful, would be written back. I assume the balance of the provision is for legal costs which we have probably been incurring at a rate of knots.

[Des Parrot]

As far as I know there are multiple ways of posting a provision both with and without actually having the money. Just because there’s a provision doesn’t mean the money is physically available.

Hopefully Keith to the rescue.

It means there is an accrual in the accounts ( liability on the balance sheet) but it doesn’t mean we have the cash to pay it.

If he wants to see his contract out then a loan option would be the way forward.1.2m a year in wages is not in our ballpark nor I suspect would we be likely to pay half of that for a loan so probably won't happen.

23k a week give or take so half that could technically be in our range..

I think he's ok at this level, wouldn't be a terrible signing but not at that kind of wage.
hopefully we've turned him down because we have a much better option lined up....

This week was always going to be slow, according to WOL.

[Former Labour leader]

I take the delay probably because there are a few loose ends to tie up with a player or two.

The retained list has to be with the EFL by 21May, I believe, so I dont fully understand the delay

Come on, you can’t expect them to sell season tickets and issue a retained list at the same time can you.

[Hilts]

I think theres either 2 reasons.

They dont want to issue it as the list will not include a player or players we still want (Ralls , Morrison)

Alternatively they just cant be bothered.

Saying that Its not an issue we know who will be on it anyway.

[The Hooded Claw]

Whatever happens, we’re going to be needing a lot of new player-specific chants.

See Spurs have signed Ivan Perisic after missing out on Ollie Tanner.
