Financial fair play

[ChicagoLion]

If the FFP rules are on this season's accounts and no further games are played, I would imagine that most clubs within Europe will not comply with FFP rules.

As above.

With Man City winning their appeal are we seeing the first step to dismantling FFP??

Think we can see why EFL only go after clubs who can’t afford the top notch legal representation like BLose & Wednesday.

I’ve seen a few people comment recently that if we go down the EFL will be after us for last seasons results. I thought that had all gone away after an investigation last summer?

Has that been on here or is it just wishful thinking from bitter Stripies and Leeds fans?

[Risso]

I'd imagine that FFP is going to be extremely difficult to enforce after this year.

I thought our last EFL seasons accounts were signed off already?

It should have been blown away long before now, whatever nonsense they spout about it FFP was brought in purely & simply to protect the established big clubs & to prevent a Man City ever happening again. 

If Xia has lasted that summer & by some miracle we had avoided administration the EFL would have been all over us like a rash trying to get a big scalp that can’t fight back....as soon as the current owners and their wealth figures were known they left us alone.

No owner should be preventing from investing what they want, however anything above an agreed number ie a % of income should be leveraged directly against the owner rather than the club & proof of funding required.

I suspect on the back of the City ruling you might see the Chelsea’s / Liverpool’s / Man Utd’s actively lobbying the PL to reject the Saudi investment at Newcastle to protect their interests?

I, for one, was shocked to the core by this news.

Its a ruling that could help us. Puts Arsenal on the beach.

You realise they've got Watford on the last day of the season?

At home though. They're alright at home. Away they're woeful.

[garyellis]

BBC reckon Man City ruling means "The credibility off FFP lies in tatters."

They would probably have been on the beach on the last day of the season in any event.
