The FFP rules are an absolute joke. The very clubs who created this like Man City and Chelsea have flouted the rules for years and haven't received a single point deduction. Even Bournemouth have broke the rules twice and just received fines only. The hounding of Championship clubs is totally unfair. FFP actually protects the top sides, ridiculous!

The problem was to apply the same regulations to the Premier League, where a different problem occurs.

I totally get Tony fucked up and we should be penalised but it makes no sense to punish us if we solved our own problems by getting new investment in

Surely, the FL would want to encourage money coming in through new ownership as there is very little coming in from elsewhere. Money coming in would generally circulate at this level.
Spot on Bronte. It becomes more worrying every day that the Lerner/Xia ethos of legitimised inertia is taking root with the new owners. No green shoots of hope anywhere to be seen.
Any other organization and I would agree with you Mike.
