Can someone report this to internet police please. It appears their record signing is only £10m (for Jordon Rhodes!)

Surely this can't be right for MASSIVE?

Side note, we haven't quite eclipsed Leeds yet on that front. They apparently spunked £23m on Rio Ferdinand the first. I'd forgotten he had even played for them!

I think we can ignore that Leeds fact given I am pretty certain another company owned their players given the Risdale nonsense at the time.

I am hearing they are close to breaking FFP and the Rhodes deal was £8million but split over 4 years! Their chairman has asked fans to stump up £2k and he will give them 3 years free Season tickets in the premier league....Not only has he put his name all over the stadium and kits, they have blown a shed load of money and are very close to breaking FFP!
