Well if their clever accountants have found a way round FFP then explain the transfers..... If you have a fortune available then transfers happen because you meet the inflated fees asked.  you're certainly not struggling to buy a championship quality centre half. I don't see any evidence we aren't going to follow fpp

We probably are... sort of. It will take a while to get the bullshit sponsorships in place that will allow us to spend more freely.

You mean we could end up with a boiler doing dance moves on the touch line like some other club?

As I said we may have to play this slowly at the moment and I would suggest the last thing we need now is to start throwing money around - these guys will have to show a measured and business like approach over time. Getting into the Prem opens a completely new set of rules and doors but we still cannot just buy our way there

Birmingham City, who are 20th in the Championship with four points, are facing a 12-point deduction for breaking rules on spending, in a landmark case for the English Football League.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/09/07/exclusive-birmingham-facing-12-point-deduction-breaking-efl/

I just thought I would drag this back up as it has obvious implications regarding our own situation.

Not quite the same.

The Noses have really pissed the league off. They were under embargo and still tried to sign and register Pederson.

Yes I agree and I'm not really comparing their situation with ours.

But with FFP looming over us and many other teams its interesting to see how this pans out.

Yep, this is a follow on sanction because they ignored the first one, it's really not the same thing. I can understand a points deduction in this case and, if they included the threat of a points deduction (and the number of points involved) when placing the transfer embargo then Blues really haven't got a case to argue against it.

Discussing their own problems with FFP, it took them a full page and a half to get round to talking about us.

Aston Villa

- Have not failed FFP
- Have cooperated with authorities when minor embargo was sanctioned.
- Have new owners with a business plan to ease issues.

Birmingham City

- have failed FFP
- Were placed under embargo and tried to register a player

There is no comparison but still they try.

I keep reading we haven't breached FFP, which is great.  But are we on course to at the end of this season?

Mat Hughes reporting in today’s Times that we are keeping a close eye on what happens to the rags as we are potentially facing the same punishment ie 12 points, albeit next season.  Does this mean we are gambling on going up again this season?

Announcing to the league in March that we are selling jack come season end for £25m would bide us a little time ;-)
