It appears that way on cursory glance, Mapdini, but I'll await the verdict of the fiscal maestro Fridge before I accept any platitudes... Fridge knows his onions.
This broke a few days ago with Derby, Villa and Leeds drafting a letter to the FL to look into the relationship between Mendes and Wolves.

FFP is a farce and about twenty years too late to really make.a difference.
As for Wolves, seems pretty obvious to me what we are doing is dodgy as feck and no doubt at all Mendes is playing a big part in our season and that we had no chance of bringing in the Calibre of player we have without him.

The news story you posted from "a few days ago" was dated yesterday afternoon, and you'll find, if you have an adult with a proper attention span read it to you, that the thrust of my post was to ask whether Uncle Mel should go for broke in the summer or not.
Perhaps you'd be better suited to printing my thread and then spending your time colouring in the letters
Leicester, QPR and Bournemouth all avoided any sanctions by getting promoted. Forest weren't and went in to decline. The moral is, if you are going to cheat, be successful.
The tiny pool that Derby seem to shop for players I'm not sure it will make any difference.
If Derby want a left winger for example to be better than we have the pool to pick from is probably about 3 players
Invest in a scouting network first and invest around 20m on 3 players and we'd walk this division
Ince was a reported 'rising to' £11m fee so we'd not likely get three players to improve us for £20m without gambling on youngsters or lower-league, and there were plenty here who didnt even rate Ince in the first place.

Our scouts can't be up to much (apart from spending their mornings in the bookies maybe)?

What has happened to our international scout Mo Camara? He uncovered the phenomenal talent that was Abdoul Norelative, the literal 5 minute wonder. Wolves and Watford sign quality players from overseas. Why can't we?

Because we both manipulate the rules
@666 - No Mel Morris shouldn't go for broke. He should however modify his approach.
Had Derby built a squad slowly over a three year period and bought one marquee signing per season and searched for a decent free transfer player and offered them a competitive salary to sign, plus added some young gems from the lower leagues ( Matt Richie, Ollie Watkins, Dwight Gayle as examples) we'd be in a much healthier position.
Luck dictates if we'd have been promoted but I think with this transfer policy we'd have a better squad and would not have had our pants pulled down when signing players like Shackell, Johnson, Butterfield, Blackman at el.
Excluding Hughes and Hendrick, Ince was a player we've bought (from Hull) and sold to a PL club. Who was the previous player that we've bought and sold at a profit to a PL club?
You're not wrong there, Desi: we're still paying more toward the wages of players we've now had to loan out than some clubs do for their whole squad or thereabouts.. madness.

Lee Grant to Stoke?
...outfield would appear to be Brayford to Cardiff.
We're not so great at this buying and selling malarkey!
But there's another issue that doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves - it's loaning players to aid a direct competitor. On loaning Martin to Fulham last season they finished above us.
On loaning Bryson to Cardiff ( and as you say we're paying the bulk of his salary) they could quite possibly finish above us! It's these little issues that I find incredibly strange and not showing signs that we're learning from.
Ideally we need to be recruiting players with the philosophy they can be sold on to the PL for a profit, overseas or by a Championship club. No Championship currently wants to sign our players because they're expensive to recruit and because it restricts what we can do in the transfer market.
Loaning players to competitor is not that simple. It's good if our loanees help to their team to win against our competitors - things change when they get above us -and obviously they do not play against us. So overall - loaning out players, taken in the round, is a good thing.
Not quite so good if they help a team to be higher in the league than we are. But if we're competing as we should - it helps us. Bryson at Cardiff is a different story since Colin's mob are displacing us from the top two and maybe the top six.
