If you read Bozza's recent posts on the subject, it's possible I've got entirely the wrong end of the stick, and PB is in fact, as we speak, reclining in a leather swivel chair whilst sipping a glass of champagne and stroking a white cat.

I think one of the journalists is reporting that parachute payments will be reduced from four to three years. Doesn't specify whether they'll simply get the same total money, just spread over the shorter period... In relation to the rest of your post, I concede I'd not really considered...

I do, yes. The clubs agreed to the FFP thing in the first place. If they thought it wasn't going to be attainable, why not make them more achievable at the start? That's what I don't grasp. Or vote unilaterally against the whole concept of FFP from the off.

No, and I fully understand that. Whether it's a good rule or not isn't my argument here though. The pisser for me is that we seem to be one of the few clubs that have actually taken it seriously, once it was imposed, trying to get our house in order, whilst a number of others have carried on...

I'm not sure we can ever legitimately accuse Tony Bloom of not opening his wallet, in fairness. If that man decided he was never going to buy another player, we could have few arguments. It's his money.

Of course there are ups and downs, and that in itself doesn't account for Bournemouth doing well. The players still have to do the business on the pitch, and they evidently are. Credit is due for that. I maintain, however, that if Bournemouth were paying wages commensurate with their income...

You have gates under the 10k mark (not a dig, just a fact). You lost over £15 million in your last season in League One. What do you think that money was spent on? Smoked salmon & organic cucumber sandwiches in the home dressing room at half time & hiring Michael Bublé to sing at the office...

It also relates to income (& the cash for Lallana etc won't count for this set of accounts). The point being that the wages Bournemouth are believed to be paying are way in excess of what they bring in via commercial revenue, sponsorship and so on.

Confident words. I fear you're going to be very disappointed (assuming you're a Bournemouth fan).
