Very true and just heard a Talksport reporter crying that it not right that they can only lose 105 million over 3 years due to inflation and other rising costs.So basically it’s like saying to families who are up to their necks in debt due to cost of living borrow more get deeper in debt.The football media are hating this FFP as all of a sudden the transfer merry go round has hit the buffers and all they can discuss is pitiful loan deals.Cant wait to see it all explode | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'm just hoping that owners/potential owners will realise that it's not the golden goose it once was and bail out. That will leave a vacuum and much like the old Italian and Turkish Lira's, a few noughts will start getting knocked off transfer fees, salaries etc and maybe, just maybe, some normality can resume. | ![](/images/avatars/1466.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That is ridiculous and doesn't sound very likely at all. The Shetland Isles and the sheep thing sounds quite possible, but the Man City getting punished bit is a way too far-fetched. | ![](/images/avatars/1380.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Parachute payments help. I think they're about £40m now I think for first season relegated. Typically the contracts you mentioned would be for players with a value (obviously not when QPR sign contracts/players) so you can sell players to cover the cost of the ones you retain. The 3 years rolling period does give you some scope to overspend slightly in that first season too, especially if you know a lot of the contracts/deadwood is leaving the following summer. So altogether it should be workable, at least it's joint up now to work with Championship. | ![](/images/avatars/1382.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Apparently the only reason they and City havn’t been done yet is because size of the charge sheet. City have 150 to answer. That will take ages but hopefully the punishment will reflect the enormity of it. Or I am naive and not living in the real world. [Post edited 15 Jan 21:15]

It's going to be interesting to see what happens with City and Chelsea. By all accounts so many breaches of the rules but this time it's the big boys. I cannot see if Everton and Forest get the book hurled at them with great power, surely City and Chelseas fines could be relegation. I don't think that will happen for either. In fact both, I am expecting the penalties to be EXTREMELY LENIENT. If they are, Forest and Everton will have some kind of precedent to ask for them to be reconsidered. Surely Chelsea and City will be big time punished. However I seriously doubt they will be.... | ![](/images/avatars/9720.gif) |

Everton & Forest Charged - Financial Rules on 06:31 - Jan 16 with 4932 views | davman | The thing that shows how utterly unworkable these rules are is the length of time it takes to settle each charge and appeal. Both of these charges will end up being compromised because they HAVE to be sorted by the end of the season. The way to protect clubs is to insist that owners fund contracts and transfer fees up front, putting the money in an account or equivalent that the club, not them, own, releasing payment as necessary. Can't run away with the club in debt then... But if they have to stay (which they will), the logical thing is to make it clear in the rule book that penalties willbw imposed at the start of the following season from when the breach is first revealed. It's not as though they ever get punished in the season(s) the breaches happen with this current set of rules, is it? And there should also be some form of ban for suing other competitors for failing to meet the rules. If they are unfair, go after the league that sets the rules as it is their duty to put the rules in place and ensure that members operate within them. All to late as ever. Scum and Citee cheated their way to the top table way before these rules came in to being. They bolstered their coffers so much that they had a reserve of players to sell to enhance their "net spend" buying them a legacy that furthers their financial advantage. No second f in FFP as far as I can see... | ![](/images/avatars/1742.gif) |

C'mon Baz, you should know the answer to that last sentence by now.

Everton & Forest Charged - Financial Rules on 07:03 - Jan 16 with 4901 views | PlanetHonneywood | Fook 'em, not a scintilla of care from me. I'm proud of the stance QPR are clearly taking towards the mooted World League, and both the Champions and Premier Leagures, by sacrificing games to ensure we're not put in the embarrassing position of having to choose. Neither are we fuelling the increasingly excessive and repugnant transfer market with grotesque signings; preferring carefully thought out acquisitions like Taylor Richards. Says more about the value of our club then any balance sheet will tell you. Maybe Fernandes really was a genius after all, and not the fat useless c nut whose profligate ways ruined us, and as I've constantly thought him to be. [Post edited 16 Jan 7:07]

While their supporters are a bunch of thick, mouth-breathing, window-lickers, Chels** have done something quite clever here. FFP had no stipulation on the amount of time over which you could amortise contracts, so Fernandez, Caicedo, Mudryk and Jackson - around £500m of that - are all under 9-10 year contracts, rather than your standard 3-5 year gig. It's a loophole, it's since been closed (reduced to 5yr max) and yet another example of how biased FFP is towards bigger (or at least legally better represented) clubs. So, clever, but clever in a cùnty way, for a cùnty club, that is. | ![](/images/avatars/3474.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
