Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton all hit the financial rocks.

All were managed by Arry.

Wasn't there a transfer embargo imposed on QPR after he went in and signed Christopher Samba for £100k/ wk?

Exactly.

My son asks me for shit loads of stuff, and most of the time I say "no".

Is your son constantly pestering you for a Niko Kranjcar and a Peter Crouch?

Shameful really - I feel for the Birmingham fans. I would be interested to know if Wolves have revealed their accounts for last season yet, as I expect similar results?

Its worth remembering this when you consider what Hughton did there and what honest 'Arry managed to do. He always has the defense of not being able to read though.

"Managed by Garry Monk, Birmingham were hit with a transfer embargo at the end of last season after exceeding the permitted losses of £39m over a three-year period. They then infuriated rival clubs by signing Danish defender Kristian Pedersen from Union Berlin for £2m while under the embargo, with the EFL admitting they were “exceptionally disappointed”."

Likewise I am sure Mrs May is exceptionally disappointed the EU has not delivered a good Brexit deal for the UK


#senseofentitlement

Some of our leadership team of chairmen, heads of government and football governance are exceptional, nay, stunning *****.

Please make that your signature.

Playing devils advocate , Harry doesn't sign the checks though does he ?

He is (was) a high profile manager that clubs have got in for a quick "project" to take them into the promised land.

They have been others - Sven for instance ?

I suggest all he has been guilty of is - this ain't gonna work, but I'm quite happy to take/spend the money in the short term.

I just went on their forum to see what they think - a mix of people who probably understand the implications, and then a load of people that are convinced this is not an issue and they are fine since they have an owner that can cover the costs. Total misunderstanding of why FFP is in place and what it's trying to combat. Mentalists.
