ReginaldD Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Just had this from a mate, not sure how much truth is in it..... Heard about this. The sale was attributed to the years accounts but theres still no money exchanged. Against one of the fundamental rules of accounting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby did it on time and so the sale and the registration of the sale are at the same time. Unfortunately the date of the registration of the sale and the date we say we sold it don't match and would put us outside the date for the FFP period. Cant even bend the rules properly ffs. Which is pretty obvious to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Inevitable. Can't backdate the sale how Chansiri has and not expect scrutiny. I applaud his financial commitment to the club, but the way he's done things reeks of amateur. He's approached FFP as an after-thought. This season is now a write-off.

I also wait to see if Leeds goalkeeper also gets a 6 match ban in line with the same allegation that Forestieri got banned for earlier in the season. I won't hold my breathe on this one though. Derby sold their ground within the same FFP reporting period, the land registry confirms this. We have backdated ours, what I don't understand is we were supposed to be working closely with the EFL to resolve issues, they signed off on the accounts and removed transfer embargo's not once but twice.

Villa are not in the EFL But Villa were in the EFL when they sold their stadium so the same rules should apply or yet again one rule for one team and another rule for others. This is kind of the fundamental issue with the EFL they pick and choose which teams to fine and dish out embargo to then completely ignore others.

Skyline Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This isn't because we sold the ground. It's how we sold it and the timing of the sale that's the problem. So can we all stop with the "What about Derby?" and "The EFL are against us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily against accounting rules but if money wasn't exchanged then it does bring into question the substance of the transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post southportdc Posted November 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2019 I know FFP is there to protect the club from knobhead owners and whatever, but I'm getting so fed up with the apparent distraction from life's tedious grind towards inevitable death getting hung up on things like 'when the land registry recorded a sale of the ground' or 'was the striker's nipple closer to the goal than the defender's patella at this random moment'. I just want the stripey ones to kick the ball in the net more than the other ones. 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa are not a member of the EFL currently... What they gonna do, dock them points from a separate league. Wolves also spent way above P&S too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 P&S rules are pointless - I don’t really understand what the rules are doing or protecting against in the case of us or Derby etc. I mean look at us, we’re paying our bills, we’re employing people, we’re competing. The rules will actually suffocate us, not help us. How’s that helping anyone? Assuming we’ll be put in an embargo, a fine and potential points deduction. All of which are counter productive. I get they want clubs to avoid overspending, but clubs have to overspend to compete, given the obscene wages and transfer fees. Don’t get me wrong, though we’ve totally screwed up. Our transfer policy has been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchy Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 21 minutes ago, ReginaldD said: Unfortunately I can't see the outcome being anything else other than a points deduction. Probably 9 points as per the Birmingham precedent. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47667742 Nine points would put us in 18th level on points with Huddersfield but we have a better goal difference. Think it could be worse points deduction for braking FFP plus an additional deduction for the way we tried to circumvent the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
