Yes. Agreed. Its frustrating for the (many) clubs that do stick within the rules including us. Points deductions would be a better sanction in some cases. Although how thats possible when clubs are no longer in the EFL is of course interesting.

There's simply no evidence for that at all.

It has but multiple clubs have had transfer bans (Forest, Bolton, Fulham, Cardiff) and also a fair few (Bournemouth, Leicester etc) have had substantial fines. Myth to say you aren't punished if you break FFP.

Given the club have publicly backed FFP for years, publicly say they will stay within its limits, publicly get angered at its flaws (QPR for example), and commit to keeping the club sustainable financially then i guess Brighton and Hove Albion will care.

Yes. But not all the losses, believed to be £20m a year at the moment, count towards FFP spending. Money on youth development, stadiums, infrastructure etc

Bournemouth were fined £7m last year https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/03/bournemouth-fined-last-season-ffp QPR , some might argue, have "got away with it" given the delay but their FFP case is still not resolved.
