They did seem to forget about parachute payments with thinking up these rules though. Thought the whole point of FFP was to prevent clubs all building up massive debt gambling on the PL dream and being forced into adminstration. Since the FFP rules, going into admin has become quite rare, so it’s achieved it’s aims but it’s stifling genuine ambition and traditional PL clubs (bigger clubs) are finding it harder to regain their natural level.

But we was also told the lie that it was to help the smaller clubs compete as you could go and spend whatever you wanted to win the league.

They've all left the chat Pretty sure they are firing emails off "Well let me tell you Football League" You have Blunt mates? Really? Why would you do such a thing?

Glad some things been done because at last we got a proven manager and it seemed like he couldn't spend anything cos of previous managers and agents, etc. Had a feeling Bruce meant business when he came here. So, can we now get all the defenders and wingers? Where's that sought after 250 defender list? Probably been binned given Van Aken was deemed the best one on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiejohn Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 While I know nothing about accounting and finance I can only assume this is a way out of our FFP problems. Wether that would mean a return to big spending or a more sensible approach time will tell but either way I’m sure the chairman will at last be getting prudent advice from A proper football man in Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
