ok, think i'm getting there.....sorry bit slow on this complicated topic! The £14.9m loss figure will therefore have included significant academy costs, even though these won't be part of the FFP calculation, and hence it should be possible to get within the £8m as we are being told. However...
I also believe that the costs associated with the academy/stadium have been expensed heavily into 12/13 accounts where possible and so probably don't represent anticipated ongoing losses.
