Appointing Redknapp should be a points deduction by itself TBF.
Sheff Wed will face similar when their next set of accounts come out. |  | |  |

They are not QPR so I expect they are let off with 3 more verbal warnings then 6 written warnings and but that time all fines and points deductions to be abolished.
Apart from where involving QPR. |  |

Even if they get a 12 point deduction, Facebook will still be full of knobs screaming at Tottenham Les for not buying more players. |  |

Isn't there also an all-clubs preliminary FFP examination on projected figures in March, too? There may be even more clubs in trouble this season. |  |

Worth mentioning again that having signed 14 players already last summer, and then won only one of the first dozen games and lost six in a row, 'Arry said it would have been alright had he been allowed to sign Jordan Hugill from Preston as well - quick £8m there. | | | |

This.
Great story - and the only good thing Harry has ever done for us - but I'd be amazed if it happened. Large fine at worst. | | | |

Player wages of £217 for every £100 income (ours was £195 in 2013/14) apparently. The league should really be looking at a fit and proper managers test. |  | | |

If you want to appear credible, impartial and fair and reasonable then you don’t do one person by your rules, you do others and especially those who’ve done similar or worse.
My theory at the time was the authorities wouldn’t go proper lenient due to precedent being set as they had others in their sights. Seems to be the case.
I’d sooner it was others but they’re not high on my list of likeable clubs... plus the stench of CandleFace lives on

FFP surely has to be f*cked off. Fans will start to lose interest in their clubs whilst clubs are subject to these long drawn out uncertain processes whereby the clubs gets f*cked one way or another but no one knows when. Usually all the sh*t accumilates after a disaterous season where a lot of fans are at their wits end anyway. Right now you could be inclined to f*ck this season off as we're not able to mount a challenge being in the third year of the scrutiny, and come back next season when the new three year period begins and the club can spend again. It's going to kill football. |  | | |

I'll tell you now, the only team who will ever get a huge fine for breaching "ffp" will be QPR.
Mindblowing that Harry Redknapp could get a job as a football manager. I should apply... |  | | |

I imagine Birmingham will go down our route of dragging the process out for as long as possible.
From a layman's point of view, I don't quite understand how we lost the case, although i accept the ramifications of having done so. | | | |

Don't think it's three years and wipe the slate clean, it's three years rolling isn't it? |  |

I don't think Sheffield Wednesday will suffer as large a sentence as Birmingham. It was the signing of the player from Union Berlin that has brought the wrath of the EFL on to them, whilst Wednesday kept to their embargo.
However, I would expect Villa & Forest, if not promoted, to be treated in the same vein as Brum due to their complete disregard to the FFP regulations. Any other action would lead to further clubs ignoring the rules in the same fashion whereas prosecuting to the full may act as a deterrent.
A 12 point deduction IMO would not be likely, but I can see a 3 or 6 point deduction as quite feasible. | | | |

Yep! a 3 year rolling maximum of £39m losses. |  |

As Birmingham are also carrying a loss of over £52 million from the last two seasons, they will have to register a profit of more than £13 million this season to avoid further transgressions!
Thus our transfer policy has been explained in full! | | | |

I would agree apart from two things:
1. The football authorities do not listen to fans;
2. Although there appears to be a general murmuring on message boards such as this (quite rightly), I see no solid movement of fans across the board to challenge this. There are enough of us to make the authorities listen, but deep down, there aren't many who are prepared to follow interest up with a dedicated campaign to influence the authorities, so why should they listen?
Every football fan outside the top 6 (and maybe Everton too) should be very interested in influencing the authorities to do something about it, but those in the promised land are generally too arrogant to worry as they believe that their team is 'established' in the top flight and will never have to worry about getting someone to inject funding into their club to sustain a push to get back into the big money league once they fall out of it, because they won't...
I say it again. If the key issue FFP (or profitability and sustainment) rules are trying to protect is owners over committing clubs to debt they cannot service (like what happened to Portsmouth), then owners providing funds up front to cover their commitments or wiping debt is the way to go about it.
Effectively, what our owners tried to do... |  |

we don't really know, but i imagine all teams except us are flaunting ffp and should be deducted 12 points with immediate effect, which would probably leave us comfortably mid-table for a couple of weeks.
edit - birmingham are wrong, in so many ways, but ffp is undoubtedly wronger. [Post edited 8 Sep 2018 14:22]
