I think the outside of the stadium would have been broadly similar, but without TB we would not have had the padded seats, media facilities, player warm up areas, concourses and office areas equipped inside to anything like the same standard. The original budget was in the £50 million bracket...

The 12,000 break even never made sense to me, suspect it was more to do with getting planning approval for Falmer than being realistic. At the time that DK was in charge the plans for Falmer were much more modest that the magnificent stadium that Tony Bloom has delivered, at a lower cost...

Jumpers for goalposts, small boys with rattles, caps, Woodbines, marvellous.

Could be but if that's the case the rent paid by the club would be the deductible expense. I thought the Holding Company's figures were the ones submitted to FL, they're certainly the ones analysed by the Swiss Ramble and myself. Even if the subsidiary accounts are used I believe the...

You are correct that there are no player sales at a profit in 2015/16, so the loss will be similar to the £19.1 million from 2014/15, although since then we have signed Knockaert, Skalak Hemed, Manu and Murphy for at least a million each, and given Lewis Dunk a (deserved) pay rise. So the quoted...

If we sign a £10 million striker on a 4 1/2 year contract in January the cost is spread over the contract length. Therefore the amount charged in the profit and loss would be £10m x (6months/54 months) = £1.1 million..........plus his wages of course.

The last losses were £10.4 million, but there were gains of £8.7 million due to the sale of Ulloa and Buckley. So the loss, excluding these one off items, was £19.1 million. To calculate the FFP loss you can then add back depreciation (see above £4.9 million) and academy costs, which are in...

The FFP losses for 2015/16 look like being in the region of £11-12 million though, so we should be within the limits. So I cannot see a need to sell players. Players might choose to go because they fancy playing in the Premier League, which is a different matter. As for future years, the FFP...

Two full stops, two capital letters, so you are showing two sentences. A sentence is defined as Therefore your first sentence is a statement, not a 'possibility', as there is no command, question or exclamation. As for your second sentence, it's a random collection of words that make little...

What about the full stop at the end of FFP?

Sentences finish at the full stop, which is

This comment is not a 'possibility' The one following it is just gibberish, so I don't see how you can use it to squirm out.

I read your first post, which was fine. You then gave a view that FFP was being breached, which again, was possible reasonable, though indicative that you don't know much about FFP. A number of posters put you right in relation to FFP, but having started to dig the hole, you felt duty bound...

Is there any evidence that Brighton have cheated?

Assuming we do what? Your second sentence is incomprehensible.

To be fair, there was one definitive post in relation to FFP, and Sussex Nomad chose repeatedly to ignore it and continued his fishing trip. This led to many others repeating it, and SN (who does have history for trolling if you take a look at previous posts) sticking his fingers in his ears and...

Here's your full quote. You said we are cheating the FFP, when there is no evidence to back up your allegation.

When you said here

\ Agree that FFP is very flawed, the new TV deal has meant that it had to we watered down at Championship level (it still exists at PL level but the rules are complex). I'm a very vocal non fan of FFP at the higher levels, as the original intentions were for 'big' clubs to prevent smaller...

In compliance with the rules.
