Did anyone else pick up CC's comments regarding the calibre of player coming in now that 'couldn't have happened up until 7 or 8 days ago'? Have we come into money?

No, CC is alluding to the fact that players have come into our price bracket because squads at other clubs are now full and therefore we can get players who were hanging on waiting to see if they would get offers elsewhere. Also, with the season now started in England, clubs have an idea of who will be in their squads, who they can allow to go on loan, who they will release. Players who were on trial (e.g. the Prophet) elsewhere now know if they are getting offers or not and therefore need to look elsewhere. Originally Posted by Caroline Hibby

I'd presume it has to do with English Clubs and their preparations prior to their season ahead. CC's probably had to wait on clubs deciding whether or not players will be apart of the 1st team squad and if their good enough to be kept on. Originally Posted by Caroline Hibby

I think it probably stems from the EPL clubs have to register no more than 25 players before the start of season + young players under 23 Therefore they are now releasing players that do not fit into that bracket so players are in a hurry to find clubs before end of August.From that interview CC seems to be saying if there are anymore players that he thinks would fit in come to his notice we will sign them. So it could get more exiting yet.

It's yet another example of the shrewdness and all round ability of Rod and the Board as I've no doubt everyone will agree

Maybe De Graff is away and his wage has freed up some funds.

Out of interest, does anyone know what our budget was for the season or is NIL for transfer fees about right?

They're irrelevant to clubs like Hibs (unless it's money coming in) - what's important is the annual player budget which includes wages, bonuses, signing on fees and any eventual (smallish) transfer fees.

But if we haven't shelled out record transfer fees then the board must be taking the piss and not backing the manager, right? Right? Originally Posted by Peevemor

Did you not read the post? Just because we haven't shelled out millions on transfer fees doesn't mean to say the manager didn't have a sizeable transfer budget. It's up to him how he splits that budget up. Obviously he feels he can get more for his money by shelling out on wages and signing on fees rather than transfer fees. It's not that difficult really.

Well, to be fair, it's only 'not that difficult really' when you finally figure out that there isn't a separate budget for transfer fees. Telling someone that transfer fees just get amortised just gets met with glazed looks mostly. Originally Posted by tamig

And all that means is that a player signing a 3-year contract for £3k will take £1k away from the next 3 annual budgets.
What also makes it difficult is that earned transfer fees don't get used to offset outgoing transfer fees. While this seems reasonable enough it isn't how it's done - not directly anyway - it just gets treated as income.
