| Club Update on 16:58 - May 27 with 5091 views | Knowlesy | We are incredibly lucky. The club has never been in such a strong position and I'm very excited about the future on and off the pitch thanks to everybody who's made it possible. Good to see that the Mane compensation is paying some dividends, hopefully someone in the premier league will take a punt on him this Summer and we'll get a nice juicy sell on. |  | |  |

Yes I had also picked up on the Mane comment Previously the impression given that he had left and we were due nowt for him. As you say a nice transfer fee for him as there is speculation that he may well leave wolves could be a bonus |  | |  |
| Club Update on 17:52 - May 27 with 4926 views | Yorkshire_Dale | Yes,the Summer Message is very timely regarding where we are as a Club and more importantly where we are going.....and it looks pretty rosey! Thanks CoChairs for being transparent and keeping us all abreast of what's happening and when...I'm sure many of us didn't know the half of it, particularly those like me an exile who are not always "on site". The Feelgood Factor is still flourishing! |  | |  |

That club statement is probably the best thing to come out of the club in my lifetime and possibly since 1907. (the two dates aren't similar by the way!) The Ogden family seem invested in the town as well as the club. Both matter. My instinct is that a good club helps the town improve. The other way round doesn't feel the same, as folk will look elsewhere for football. |  |

I got them same impression that we had sell on clauses built into his transfer, which if true, could be a nice earner. |  | |  |

Rumours of a £40 - £50 million asking price for Mane, with half a dozen top clubs interested and apparently Man U and Everton current favourites...a 10% sell on would be wonderful news at Spotland and sometimes these deals for young players have up to 20% built into them....! I wonder if Wolves have offered to buy us out? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

He's a bit too raw to command a £50m fee. Reckon £20 - 30m is more realistic. If he was 10 - 20 goals, assists and played every game then possibly but its even a stretch at that. |  | |  |
| Club Update on 13:53 - May 29 with 3329 views | Dalenet | Great statement that covered an awful lot of ground. One comment that we should all take note of was the financial rules that dictate what an EFL club can spend on a playing budget - rules that didn't apply in the National League. So our owners can't just chuck half a million extra for players from now on unless we grow our revenues in proportion. With that in mind, we need to hope we can sell more than 3,000 season cards, and drive up match day revenues somehow. Otherwise there will be limits on where and when we can strengthen the team. Assuming we spent c£2m on the playing budget last year, we'd need to up our revenues by quite a lot to move on from that this coming season. Wembley revenues would have helped a bit. |  | |  |

I’d agree with that..a smaller fee with add ones re appearances. goals scored and general development |  | |  |

"EFL League Two clubs are governed by the Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP), which restricts player wage budgets to 50% of the club's "Relevant Turnover". This means clubs must tie their squad spending directly to their actual football earnings.How the SCMP WorksBasic Formula: Player-related expenditures cannot exceed 50% of the club's revenue.What is Included: Player wages, taxes, bonuses, image rights, and agents’ fees are all calculated under this cap.What is Excluded: Spending on youth academies, infrastructure, and women’s teams is generally excluded from the calculations.Turnover and Owner InjectionsUnlike stricter leagues, the SCMP allows "Football Fortune" to count toward turnover. This includes:Equity Injections: Owner financial gifts or share purchases. Under recent revisions, only a limited percentage of owner investment (above a £500,000 baseline) can be put toward player wages.Football Income: Money generated from cup runs, competition prize money, and transfer fees also boosts the club’s permitted salary ceiling, although this is capped at 50% for League Two.ExemptionsCertain player categories are excluded from the salary budget calculations, including:Under-21 Players: Established young players (based on a set number of appearances) and academy graduates who have been with the club for three years or more.Loaned Players: Wages paid while a player is out on loan.The English Football League (EFL) monitors these regulations on a real-time basis throughout the season.
