Transfer embargo on FFP
- Thread starter ditchy

December this year.
It would be ironic if the Albion were the only club not prepared to flaunt the FFP regulations, so were free to deal as they pleased, after sanctions.
Also happened to be the only club not prepared to spend the money, and deal as they pleased, after sanctions.

Apparently Derby played within FFP rules too.
And look where that got them!

I expect that Forrest's owners thought that promotion was a formality if they threw enough cash at the team.

No one in or out without permission from the FL.
Obviously clubs will need to offload some of the expensive players to meet the target and must still be able to field a squad, so I can see the FL allowing quite a bit of activity from any club under embargo provided that its no more than one in/one out and its expensive swapped for cheap.

Thanks Greens :(
The PL missed an opportunity re: FFP
Instead of fining Citeh with a couple of weeks left in the season, they should have docked them 10 points, the same punishment dished out for going into administration
Cue clubs falling over themselves to have squeaky clean accounts

And cue a MASSIVE legal battle as City appeal and counter-sue for loss of earnings.
I'm sure that the 50m is part of a "plea bargain" and has been pre-agreed after consultation with the club - anything else would destabilise the rules so much they'd be scrapped. Come christmas I'd expect to see similar "deals" going on in the championship and the FL insist on some punishment being carried through but still trying to avoid the legal challenge.
A pretty difficult thing to do...................................................................they were fined by UEFA. Shall I post it again UEFA, Union of European Football Associations.
Can never understand people who get this wrong. Half the posters believe its the FA who imposed FFP on the Championship it's the sodding FOOTBALL LEAGUE dimwits. You then get half-baked crap spouted. For God sake get basic facts right then the debate might be worth having.

Under FFP you cannot sign new players or extend expiring contracts.

Potentially the best bit - could be some good players going free after FFP sanctions have kicked in

Premier league would not agree with this, hence the change.

I thought it was UEFA not the PL who have fined them

So do I but alas the decision isn't up to us! I believe the PL sponsors have baulked at their money going to other clubs hence why it will go to charity instead.
You can lead a horse to water but etc..etc.. etc.. I've lost count of the number of times I have posted the link to FFP being explained but the dimwits either can't read or are too lazy to take a look and educate themselves.
Why do you think it is a plea bargain? If you saw the reports last week you will know that this is one of the 9 sanctions that UEFA can impose with the ultimate sanction of exclusion from European competition. City and PSG were the high profile offenders. There was doubt whether City would accept the punishment but if they don't, they run the risk of losing their case and having a heavier punishment imposed. I believe the actual punishment is due to be announced this week but media reports are that it will be the fine and a reduced squad for Champions League fixtures.
I don't understand the thinking behind this type of comment. Why would it be scrapped because a club like Forest gambled and failed. I would suggest the thinking behind it is to somehow justify moaning at the club for a lack of spending!
FFP is being imposed by UEFA with sanctions imposed this year. The PL has FFP with sanctions expected to be imposed from Dec this year for certain breaches and from 2016 for breaches of the loss limits.
