Correct me if i'm wrong but UEFA's fair play rules are specifically for the premiership. The N power leagues come under a different FFP

There'll be a vote Wassa, you can't have some teams being restricted while others aren't.

So, u could say by investing in our infrastructure rather than transfers, Doughty is making a shrewd decision.

Leicester fan in peace.

Despite our current situation, this is exactly the kind of thing I've been calling for for years. I'm not sure about putting a cap on transfer fees, because they /should/ come from an owner's pocket rather than the club, but wages certainly need to be capped across the board.

I honestly believe we've got very lucky and landed owners who are honourable in their intentions, but if something were to happen then, with all the money they're paying out in wages, we could land in serious trouble. It may sound like double standards, but I welcome this.

What would happen to you lot if it does come in and you don't go up? I still haven't seen what the penalities are and don't know how they can be imposed the following season unless clubs have already been warned that this will happen next season.

LloydX - I'm not sure. I would have thought they'd have difficulty trying to affect existing contracts, and if anyone does try to change a contract, whether it be the club if pre-warned or the League with new regulations over the club's head, the lawyers will have a field day. If you're asking whether the clubs have been appropriately warned about all this, obviously I don't know that either - although given the lack of reporting I suspect that very little is already in place.

Unfortunately, the whole thing does seem to have "approaching shambles" written all over it.
