I agree with most of that. I was only saying it's possible for them to make up the shortfall before the new financial year. I've said elsewhere in this thread that even if they do that they're just delaying the inevitable.
It depends how desperate they are to avoid the FFP penalty. If they were willing to sell Reece James to someone like PSG for a discounted but decent fee then all of a sudden they've only got to sell a couple more players to be ok.
If it was any other club I'd say they were screwed, but they...
To get the player they want to buy. If the price is right why would they delay it and risk the player going elsewhere? They might save a few million, but they might miss out on the player entirely. If we were offered Gallagher for a reasonable fee now we'd probably get the deal done.
They don't have to wait until the end of the season to try and offload players though. They could agree a deal now that would go through when the window reopens.
Reece James and Chalobah as well. Kepa could bring in a decent profit if sold now as he's been there so long.
They could possibly make the amount they need this year, but it would surely just delay it by a year as they're running out of club trained players to sell.
I guess if they didn't report it and someone else found it later they would get a far harsher penalty. Look at how the City info came out and you can see that it's possible. I'd be surprised if there's a promise that they won't be punished, but they'll probably be treated more leniently having...
The commentator for our match on Friday going on about it being another year without us winning anything. Only three points behind city in the league used to mean you were in the title race.
