These bollocks rules that help  chelsea.

Its ridiculous

Chelsea should suffer a 1000 point deduction ammortised over the next 20 years.

Let’s not throw bricks in glass houses. We’ve benefited from the same rules as well when we sold VP.

As long as the people at the glass house don't know where you live, you should be OK.

We sold hotels and used the womens team to help us with FFP?

We sold Villa park to another co owned company. Middlesbrough in particular got the right hump.

Didn’t Derby do similar but massively overvalued the ground so they got done.

Yes, we did it at fair market value. They did it at a massively inflated price.

Hotels, fine. A bit iffy but they are property owned. Selling the women's team, not sure how that works though? Surely they are a brand new team then and should be kicked out the WPL.

Isn’t that just like someone else buying Everton?

As regards the farce that is PSR and I don’t like drawing comparisons with that lot.  However, the noses are allowed to spend pretty much whatever they want in League 1 on a turnover of less than £30m.  Yet as we reach £400m we cannot buy players unless we offload or if we can buy players we are back shopping in Tesco as opposed to Waitrose. 

Part of the idea of PSR was supposedly to stop unscrupulous owners failing clubs and certainly at the lower level of the pyramid yet if that lots hedge fund decided they’d had enough today that’s exactly the position they’d be in. 

Farce I tells ya.

The rules in League One and League Two are changing next year so it won't be as easy for rich owners to pick clubs they think they can grow from the lower leagues and then throw a bit of money at it.

Shame they waited so long to implement this as im almost certain blose would have struggled had they not been allowed  to spend what they want.

Kippas got a lot of valid points there

Kieran Maguire was on The Overlap today and has basically said one of the Premier League clubs might be in shit when the latest set of accounts are released this month.  He wouldn't say who, except it wasn't a team in 'red'.

Pretty sure that it's known to be Leicester.
