If the likes of Citeh and Chelski can drive a coach and Horses through it so can anyone else - oh sorry they can`t...

Calling H & V accountants. Christian Purslow appears to have unequivocally stated that we are fine by FFP regs. Can I now stop worrying or is this double speak?

You would think that he knows the FFP rules inside out and as you say he seemed totally unconcerned about it possibly holding us back. Although I suppose ultimately only time will tell. Our in and out transfer dealings in January should tell us more.

I would imagine that the sight of our owners lawyers walking into the FA offices might put a dampener on any action they may want to take against us

He said the debts are cleared and categorically stages we would respect the FFP rules. Players will no doubt be sold but there’s clearly some resources beyond that to help Dean in January.

Guess it depends on how much we’ll be spending...I’m guessing we’ll bring in loans, cheaper players identified by Deano and Mendes rather than shopping in the £10m+ market.

I think Dean will make saleable assets out of players Bruce refused to use.

I wonder is there a "gentleman's agreement" with Brentford that we not come after their bright lights in January, though I'm not sure how common that kind of thing is.

With the Brentford model, more likely they'd make an agreement that we had to!

By not having to pay interest on the loans we can probably afford at least an extra loan player.

If we keep selling out home games that will also provide an extra income to spend.

I really don't understand how we can be ok

Its a profit and loss test. We cant retrospectively change historic losses. And I thought we were right up against the limit such that we needed to break even this year, despite a) losing £5m per month and b) losing our parachute payments

Id like a clearer explanation having bought the plan B bollocks last year

Whatever happens I imagine being very serious about compliance gets you a lot more discretion, as it is discretionary, than going fuck it, I'll do what I want.

I can't imagine that us saying all the right things publicly while absolutely blitzing the spend limits will be much of a defence.

Maybe Jacks new contract and sell on clause has helped.

No I agree, but I don't think we have. Snoddy and Terry were £110k a week in wages. I would imagine that the signings we've made are covered by that. I highly doubt we've made Bolasie our hughest paid player ever, especially when Boro agreed the same package with Everton.

How so?

He’d presumably be on more money than on his previous contract and the sell on fee can’t help until it’s realised?
