I caught the end of  something on Talksport where they said Chelsea had sold their womens team to themselves, ehh ? how does that work ?
Sold it to their parent company. As long as they haven't inflated the price, which we're all waiting to see in the account when they're published, they can do that.

We should do what Forest did. Bought a load of players. Broke the rules. Got fined and docked points. Stayed up. Kept the players and are now benefitting from breaking the rules.

Said this as well got laughed at by a few posters. The whole FFP is a mockery

It’s still a laughable suggestion (I’m not convinced Toronto is 100% serious), they don’t just give points based on how much you’ve gone over. We’d have been punished for just ignoring the rules, Forest argued they just got the timing slightly wrong.

Edit - I see Dave has made the point better than I have

Nah we just need to be clever about it and high priced lawyers to find loopholes and drag it out. Making a mockery out of what is already a mockery. I’m not being serious, but the rules are flawed. The fact that Man City and Chelsea have done what they have and yes, Forest to a degree means that for minor penalties they get to keep their better or best players. We end up having to sell Doug and bring in players, most who are on loan or below the needed standard to keep us moving forward.

I dont think its a laughable suggestion as other teams are doing dodgy  things with minimal  to no punishments. If that wasnt the case fair dos.

But as we have both said get good lawyers and you could probably  get away with it

There'll have to be a PUP adjustment in there from memory of Group/Intercompanies accounting.

Something tells me this won't make him think twice. 🤔

Can you buy lawyers from the middle isle of Lidl? That's where Nas is mooching.
