Seems, so far, that Bloom could have spent the money and got away with it if he'd wanted to take a gamble. However, it's easy for us to spend his millions for him; you can't blame him for wanting to limit his loss to a mere £8m a year, FFP or not.

It sounds like that digging is ongoing. At least that's what I understood 'in discussion with clubs' meant.

I stand corrected. Although it was closer than the Bournemouth owner's statement that a 15m loss was ok if covered by an equity purchase!

It'll be easier to wait a few weeks. But losing 15m on league 1 salaries is a bad indicator.

Probably worth adding that the tone of the statements smack of someone pre-emptying the fact that they're going to struggle to meet the limits by bringing up stuff that is irrelevant to the 13/14 FFP limits: the Llallana sale and equity pumped in by the owner.

Wages don't count then?

Your owner doesn't seem to understand that the Championship FFP regs do not relate to debt; they relate to a max of 5m loss and a limit of 3m of equity is allowed to be put in to come to that figure (so effectively a loss limit of 8m). Besides, what big bucks transfer sales did Bournemouth...

I disagree with your last point. The main reason infrastructure such as the stadium and academy is outside of FFP limits is that it produces income, both now and in the future, whilst developing the game for the better. They're both going to still be there in 50 years time and won't sit on a...

We don't know what they've voted for yet. They'd need a majority of chairman to vote any change, and I'd be surprised if the 7-8 clubs that look likely to fail last year's restrictions were let off the hook by the remainder - the majority - that were within limits.

Rather than use an analogy, it's easier to say that Forest are ****ed.
