matthefish2002 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 If we have not broken the rules we have nothing to fear. Thought we were being investigated any way, thought every club was. In the long run probably a better thing that FFP / P&S put a brake on our spending as could have resulted in more trouble further down the line.

I'm sure the majority of those criticising Gibson would be up in arms if the situation was reversed No, I didn’t cry like a ***** re QPR, Bournemouth or Wolves If owners are prepared to commit to sustaining the club then that should be enough. Let them put what they want in. I’m more bothered about what goes out of the game than what goes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 In the spirit of fair competition parachute payments are unfair, but compliant in terms of the rules. In the spirit of FFP/P&S some of the practices used may be creative, but still compliant in terms of the rules. While I dont agree with Gibson, do feel a change in the rules is required, preferably to significantly increase the loss limit to allow clubs to compete with those with parachute payments for a start.

S36 OWL Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 If it wasn't for clubs like his coming down from the prem armed with failure payments , the other championship clubs wouldn't need to spend the money they are doing to compete.its clubs like Boro who are inflating the market in the championship because they use the prem money to pay stupid wages and transfer fees once they come down.

room0035 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 If we are getting all the league together to sort the treatment of breaches of FFP let us also have on the agenda the parachute payments. Lets agreed as a league from next season no team gets them, the £40m+ they get is not included in the calculation so Middlesboro, West Brom, Stoke, Swansea and a whole host of teams will also be breaking the rules. But them of course that allowed in the fair league we are currently in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Profit and Sustainability allows a football club to sell their stadium to allow them to apply to the rules. So the rules allow a club to make them selves homeless. Is now the time for the EFL to see sense about the ways they are killing the league with their brainless ideas. Every team in the 24 has the same rules or none of them do, currently this season more than half of the league have parachute payments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the majority of those criticising Gibson would be up in arms if the situation was reversed Come on then @Belfast Owl 2 - as you've negged this Its 2019 - Wednesday are in the race for the play-offs - being chased by Villa, Derby and Middlesborough. We've sold off Westwood, Bannan and Forestieri just to balance the books In the meantime, Derby have sold their stadium for twice its book value to the club Chairman - and leased it back, Villa have spent 3 times the FFP limit, and Boro are being supported by pretend companies dropping sponsorship money into the bank Are you really telling me that wouldn't bother you?

I hate to say it, but most likely outcome will be Leeds, Norwich and piggies go up. Therefore knowing Derby, villa and ourselves will be very strong competition next season for top six, he's trying to get the three of us embargoed or starring with minus points, lessening our threat to the top of the table. This 100%, he knows they have blown it this year and will have reduced income next year so is sticking the boot in early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have parachute payments? Are we suddenly concerned because we are bottling playoffs? Did we sell players not needing to sell the books?
