Good post. We will have to see what TB does and some fans reaction if he wants to continue limiting his losses. I suspect he voted reluctantly for the increase as he knew that the disparity with those ex PL clubs and the rest would just get ever wider, which it will do with the new tv deal. I...

You are correct, yes. The club made it abundantly clear that they wanted to abide by FFP. Ideally, TB also wants the club to be self-financing, so the two are not mutually exclusive. But it is the abiding by FFP that the club made their mantra and the self-financing bit seems to get forgotten...

If the fines being levied on promoted teams breaking the rules was still being distributed among the teams that did not break the rules, then it would be slightly fairer, but only slightly. Under this new tv deal, now that the team coming bottom of the PL get +- 100m quid just for turning up...
