FFP explained

Wasn't it the Bolton manager earlier in the season that had a dig, but they have parachute payments and a much higher wage bill? That was before news of their debt came out

Both QPR and Bolton are both good examples of how not to do it. If we overspend this season that will result in a transfer ban next right?

If that's the case we should build a big squad this season [as we seem to be doing] and go for it.

I think that players are holding club's to ransom over wages. There should be a formula for reducing Prem' wages on relegation. Or would that just keep good players on the big boy's books to be farmed out on loan to the Champ and lower divisions?

FFP will never work. Let's face it Fawaz comes to most games, he could get the club to charge him £8 million a season for his seat.

Jacko.

Just shows all you boys are losing money too so maybe you should go easy on us. Throwing stones when you live in a glass house

Another thing we don't know is how much Fawaz's sponsorship is worth but I'm sure it more than covers what we have spent.

Its not like Fawas brought all these players into an already big squad. We had something like 12 players on the books when he came in. And hes not been held to ransom over wages, ala hobbs.

Hes not spent that much in terms of fees, with darlow, lichaj,fox,lacelles, jara, gomis, and vaughan on frees/loans. Hobbs, pato,mackie, cox, and lansbury were all round a mil each when looking else where could have been up to 3-4m. Its only wilson, abdoun, and the terrorist that we've forked out for.

Thats alot of free quality, alot of cheap quality, and some dipping into the piggy bank. The deadwood has been loaned out and will be off the books by the end of the season.

That and apparently lacelles is in the interest of a 15m+ bid from top 4 teams . That in itself would balance out the next two seasons.

The flow chart suggest an embargo would come into play at the start of 2015 until the club can prove it can balance books between the set guidelines. I wonder if that happened whether we could just sell a prospect or two and that would immediately sort it.
