So we spend 20 mill in our 2016/17 season. That leaves us 19 mill for our next two. Am I being stupid or are we overspending? Seriously?
We can lose money above the FFP losses limit in a single season.
The FFP losses refer to the playing side of the club and don't include some areas where losses occur (as previous posters have explained to you) so therefore you can lose a figure that's above the FFP limit but still comply with the FFP rules and therefore not "cheat"
This £20m total loss may only include £13m of losses which are eligible for counting under FFP rules meaning we've complied with the rules (something that has also been repeated to you by several posters in this thread)
We would only be cheating like teams such as QPR and Bournemouth did if we were to spend over the FFP limit on things that count towards that FFP limit.
The rules for that have changed for this season and we are now able to lose a much higher figure now in total for losses which count for FFP providing that our 3 year rolling losses stay under the new limit (so we could lose £30m this year in FFP countable losses but providing our losses that count towards FFP for the next 2 years totaled £9m or less we would still comply and not be cheats)
(Anyone else think this poster is just 'fishing')
