Comment | Bill's Take: Did Securing Sammon Cause Clough To Be Cast Away?
at 09:28:58
Why compare the fee for Sammon with that of Shackell, Brayford and Ward combined?
Ward was almost a free, Shackell cost nearly £1m and Brayford £400k so in fact your comparison that it cost more to buy Sammon than those three combined is wrong.
You say that other areas of the team needed strengthening - however a team that finishses 10th shows that most areas are strong enough and it just needed fine tuning. fine tuning Clough did last summer
I doubt Sammon signing is the reason to remove Clough - I think its more a case of trying to be controversial for being controversial sake.
Why write articles focussing on the past, being negative. We are on the brink of something special - focus on that.

Comment | Bill's Take: Derby Need Promotion To Avoid FFP Monster
at 18:52:34
But your assumption that we need promotion or sell a player because we don't meet FfP is false.
We are allowed to lose £8m for the current year if £5m is invested by owners. we lost £8m two seasons ago. Last season is probably less and this season will have cut further. If we lose £6m the owners have to put in £3n to prevent sanctions.
If will I'd sold after June next year then his sale can't count towards this seasons loss or the first instalment if FFP losses. And if the cost cutting continues at the present rate most if not all would be available. |

Bill, this is well written article and succeeds in fostering doubt in the mind of the reader regarding our ability to comply with FFP. It implies that the sale of Brayford was merely cost cutting.
However, you have (accidentally I hope) ignored the true financial limit of FFP being £8m losses this year (they£3m you mention plus the allowance of £5m capital investment) so in the last accounts to June 12 we would comply with the limits due to be imposed for accounts relating to this season.
From the end of June 2012 we have removed players on large wages and cut costs so I expect the accounts to June 2013 (due out between now and the end of the year) to show a loss of £8m or less. (Better than the FFP requirement that hits in 2014)
