I thought the FFP limit for that season was £8M loss?

Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
The figures being quoted are from the annual company accounts/return posted at Companies House, FFP is something different and excludes some items (eg academy running costs, infrastructure, AITC type stuff).

It was. We also lost 10m that year, but not all of it came under the FFP rules, so I assume the same applies to Bournemouth.
I also read this morning that they are planning on spending the majority of their windfall on players to secure their PL status. Good luck with that. Also means that there will be some decent players moved aside, so some scraps to be picked up by us maybe?

Indeed they will and I hope that they do! A very risky strategy though that has paid off.

What a sad thought, hoping to land Bournemouth's scraps

Unlikely, I reckon. The new mega-money TV deal kicks in in 2016-17, so you'd imagine he'd throw the sink at trying to stay up. Mind you, so will the usual suspects in the bottom half of the Premier League.

Feel a bit sorry for them (yeah right), that of their first 8 fixtures, only Liverpool away could be considered a remotely eye catching one for their fans. I guess gives them a chance to get a few points on the board early.
But as you say, December makes up for it!!

They are probably better prepared than their first six opponents, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them at the top of the Prem at the start of their campaign.

I think we may need some points on the board early!! Really weird seeing us in there, I'm hopefully going to try for about 8 ish away matches if lucky..

I predict that you'll get points off Spurs and Liverpool, both of whom will be imploding by that point. Everton and Baggies will be on the beach.

Cheers. Absolutely not a ******* clue as to how we are going to do, I think the pacey counter attack is going to be used, after signing king and Atsu. Need another CB and midfielder too.
Not a ST holder, so aiming for 5-10 away games. Thankfully ST holders don't get first dibs on the away tickets in the points scheme. Going to be interesting!

May put a pound on them going unbeaten through that run. Stranger things have happened and with the jammy luck of Eddie who knows.

You have had the best season in your history and in style too. You are in for a hell of a ride, I remember the buzz when we did much the same as Bournemouth, coming out of Division Three, consolidating and then going up the next year with a quality settled side. We got thumped 4-0 by Arsenal at the Goldstone in our first game but went on to survive and I loved that season. Got a bit dull afterwards being the whipping boys but at least you have massive parachute payments if it all goes wrong. I'd much rather be in your position this season than ours. Hope you enjoy the ride.
