When Warnock took over he immediately brought in 3 non contract players, 2 proved to be stars.
With some money possibly freed up, McCarthy needs to do the same. Somehow we need a Bamba or Hoilett to give the team a lift.
Think he knows he needs something and some backing
No he cannot, I'm sad to say. I have no faith in him anymore.
He can pull 5 centre backs out of it though.
Even I think it's dead zone time now
He’ll be gone after the jacks game.
can we afford anyone who is going to improve the team?
He had a Hoilett and he released him instead of signing him to a one-year deal.
Right now is probably the ideal time to get someone new in. He'll get the next 4 games at least imo
Tan supposedly has a net worth of $1.6Billion, which means he could buy an entire first 11 of £10million players and still have $1.45Billion left.
I think the team needs a lift, something that Sol Bamba gave us before. Not sure it will happen, but it should if McCarthy has any chance of staying in a job.
He probably wouldn't.
Most of his net worth is probably from owning stakes in businesses, i.e. shares. If he started selling off shares to raise $100m in cash, then as a prominent figure that is going to cause panic which will negatively affect the share price. His remaining shares will be worth less, which means his net worth will also drop.
Facebook's share price dropped 5% with the outage on Monday. Zuckerberg's now worth about 6 or 7 billion less than he was at the weekend.
By the way, according to Forbes, Tan's net worth is about half that.

Under FFP rules, we can make a £39 million loss over 3 years.

According to Swiss Ramble , we made a £24 million loss in 2020.
Since then, our income will have dropped by £30 odd million from £46 million to presumably something less than £20 million? due to parachute payments stopping.
Our wage bill was £36 million in 2020 - that will have reduced a fair bit, but enough? Player amortisation should be better in the future too if we continue to bring young players through.
The £33 million profit we apparently made in 2019 will have been insulating us from any FFP concerns recently, but that will soon drop off the FFP calculations - when we are looking at 2020-2021-2022 we have to be in serious danger of overshooting the limit.
Bringing a new player in on a free just adds to our wage bill without giving us a realistic chance of promotion. So it'll just mean we have to make more cuts later.
