FFP result with finances out. 07:34 - Feb 20 with 17717 views | Philothesuperhoop | So does this mean that we’ve just snuck under the allowable FFP losses? Does anyone have the financial results and the ability to interpret them. I.e. know what losses can be deducted from the totals?

FFP result with finances out. on 08:38 - Feb 20 with 7085 views | BAWHoops | We *should* be over the worst of it now tbf. Next set of accounts will likely show more losses, but basically that we chucked everything overboard and the losses should come down from £20m to something not resembling a trainwreck. That decision not to sell a couple of players in Summer 2022 is looking like an all timer from QPR. Willock, Chair, Dickie, Dieng all would've comfortably fetched close to £10m and massively, massively eased the pain | ![](/images/avatars/3667.gif) |

Based on his analysis last year, haven’t we breached? Correction, I think we may be ok. https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/news/59765/on-the-edge- [Post edited 20 Feb 8:48]

You are right the next set of accounts are the difficult one. But the good news (sort of) is that the we are actually living that difficult year right now The accounts published today are for June 22 to May 23. So yes, the following set of accounts are our most difficult one, but those are for the season we are in right now, being June 23-May 24 The headline figures today look scary but assuming once allowable costs, mainly centred around training ground are factored in we are fine. Then next summer we will have at least £20m of headroom, although we would want to manage that more sensibly this time The messaging and communication from the club is that we are working to meet P&S so I am assuming for now we have met it. Think the club need to issue a statement pronto otherwise belief a points deduction is incoming will grow [Post edited 20 Feb 8:51]

Agree, looks like we are ok regards FFP for this season, which is a relief. Not so sure we’ve got £20m headroom in 23/24 accounts unless I’m reading it wrong. For FFP, season 21/22 shows loss of £19m, season 22/23 can only guess at but on previous it looks like we can discount about £5m from the £20m loss (that is a guess). But that means a two year combined FFP loss of around £34m which means we mustn’t lose more than £5m for FFP purposes, or about £10m overall in this years accounts 23/24. It’s possible the club are getting nearer that figure as they seem to have been a bit more proactive on that front, let’s hope so. We need an Eze sell on plus an agreement forced on the Premier League for EFL funding pretty damn quick! | ![](/images/avatars/6823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Based on your figure there 21/22 of £19m which I believe is the right one: 21/22 £19m loss 22/23 (todays accounts)£15m (we think- need clarification on extent of allowable costs) 23/24 the season we are in now we are assuming allowed to lose £5m So that means when we go in to this summers spending (if we stay up). 22/23 £15m loss 23/24 £5m loss 24/25 £19m loss is maximum allowable So that £19m would mean £14m of extra losses allowed next season compared to this current seasons anticipated £5m loss Agree on Eze, also this summer Chair fee is likely and as mentioned a new tv deal with more money. So while the losses could be an extra £14m we might have an even budget still on top of that. So more much more hope for next year if we stay up [Post edited 20 Feb 9:51]

Well Millwall had 155 in their last set of accounts. But it’s also more that if you are close to the FFP line, you’ve got to reduce cost. Biggest cost is people and to reduce people by 2 doesn’t seem like much of a cost reduction. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It appears to me Clive, that Simon & yourself were correct that we needed to reduce losses by circa £10m this season, but it might be that £12m is closer! Surprise, Surprise! I get the impression that the club feels that this will be achieved, but I've no idea how! It would be clearer for us if we could see the projected accounts for this season that have to be lodged with the EFL. I'm also assuming , until told otherewise, that any costs on developing the Training Ground, would be included in the loss but would be deductable against FFP? Although they be in work in progress? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The £10m figure actually came from Beale in a supporter meeting. He said there was a £10m+ shortfall that the club needed to find in 18 months time. I know he's full of sht but the figures are all there and it adds up. Yeh it's going to be super tight, but that they felt able to do a little bit of business at the end of January presumably means they think they're ok. Some money for Dieng and Dickie. 5 loans with all their associated fees and wages out, and we haven't loaned anybody this season until Hayden and Hodge who we're seemingly not paying for. Amos, Balogun, Bonne, Dickie, Dieng, Dozzell, Johansen (top earner), Lowe, Martin all off last year's wage bill. Ferdinand. | ![](/images/avatars/1005.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yeah they've definitely chucked stuff overboard. Shodipo and Niko gone as well. Fox, Cook, Begovic, Colback, Smyth you'd imagine aren't coming close to what was jettisoned in the summer wages wise. | ![](/images/avatars/3667.gif) |
