You'd expect his parent club to chip in if we're paying them a loan fee as is normal.
The best way of avoiding FFP issues is to make a profit. You can do that by ensuring commercial sponsorship is as good as rules allow. Now if only we had an Owner who was also on the board of big sports brand like Adidas...
FFP aint a thing. It's Profit & Sustainability. Maybe one could argue, Billionnaire owners wiping all debt and placing £200 million into a clubs bank account for the sole and only use by that football would ensure that club is sustainable for the foreseeable future. I'm not saying that has happened, but I think the rules aren't as cut & dried as some suggest on here. I.e. those wierd equations we get on here where someone says we paid £3m for Joe Bloggs, paid him £40k a week for 6 years. If we sold him now for £2m it wouldn't make a difference to FFP so can't. The only thing we all know for sure is, You MUST pay the tax man otherwise shit goes bad, fast.
The local media are reporting that the EFL will recommend to the disciplinary board that small heath will get a 12 point penalty for failing FFP. They seem to think they could get that down on appeal to something like 6 now and 6 suspended but, given they are on course to break it again next year, they will get those points off, and possibly more, next season.Before we snigger, should we be worried? Any potential punishment for us would be next season as we haven't failed anything as yet. Also, a lot of the EFL's gripe with blues is that the brazenly signed a player under embargo and haven't done much to make money. Turning down £12m+ for Che Adams last week must have raised some questions.Going up this season will dispel the worry once and for all but, if we don't, surely a deep dive into our accounts is coming?The blues case is surely going to be the precedent and us, Forest and Bolton in particular should be watching quite closely.
