Serious question: how will we stop irresponsible people at the club going on another player-buying spree to load us up with more ageing players on long-term contracts?Now that we have arrested the financial problems, I sincerely hope that there will be an injection of intelligence, common sense and some coaching & tactics!

Is there simply a rule in the FFP regulations that forbids this? Does all income have to be generated by sale of assets to factor against FFP losses?Thanks.FFP is just to do with income, expenses and losses. Our problems are caused by falling parachute payments and high wages for wasters like Richards. The only real way out of the problem is to generate profit on player trading, hence the likely sales of Grealish and Chester.Unless the new owners take a ‘fuck it’ approach to FFP, they’ll still probably have to be sold.They could negotiate a settlement and pay it.

Do you want to win the league at a canter and discover we’re suddenly in the Play-offs?

You know have 2 legitimate quotes to fall back on when it’s a roaring success or flaming disaster!
There's some excellent flouncing on the SHA forum.
They're like one of those birthday cake candles that re-light after you've blown them out. Utterly predictable and depressing this news is.
No I said we negotiate a settlement and pay it,
