da casino： It’s crunch time for Leeds United.
da betcris： The Whites have a great chance of being promoted from the Championship, sitting nine points clear of third place, but what they do this month will heavily impact their chances of going up.
With Jack Clarke and Eddie Nketiah being recalled, there’s a gap in Leeds’ squad for another loanee as they now only have four, but the only problem is that their current FFP situation means that they can’t spend all that much in terms of wage contribution for any incoming players.
Phil Hay stated in November that Leeds were right on the limit of FFP so any further spending could put them under the microscope from the FA and EFL.
However, there could be a way around this.
Football Insider reported earlier this week that the Whites slapped a £500k price tag on the head of Lewie Coyle but it remains to be seen whether that was the fee they received after he joined on a permanent transfer on Friday.
We’ve said before here on FFC that Leeds should have considered keeping Coyle, but if that was indeed the money they garnered, they’ve pulled off a brilliant deal.
With just 16 weeks to go until the end of the Championship season, a £500k windfall would leave Leeds with £31,250 more to spend each week from now until the end of the season.
That being said, blowing that on a loanee’s wages may backfire as it’s money Leeds would never see again that could have been spent better in the long-term.
However, if they bring in a player who commands that type of weekly salary and he helps the club on their way to promotion they’d be laughing.
In other news, Leeds may be risking wasting precious resources after Phil Hay’s update.
