The cost of shooting for The Premier League

[AZ Gull]

QPR, Reading and Wigan get a 'by' in their first year following relegation as regards FFP - Forest have got their generous 'sponsorship' deal to cover their losses which leaves Leicester and Blackburn from that list - neither of which are likely to be the biggest 'offenders' against FFP

QPR are exempt from the rules this year and Bolton incurred their debt years ago.

I believe you are both wrong - the clubs relegated from the Premier League do NOT get a grace period of one year before they have to comply with FFP. (Just to explain that further: obviously these clubs will not face FFP sanctions on their results from the season in which they were relegated, but for QPR, Reading and Wigan, their financial performance in 2013-14 WILL be subject to FFP, in the same way that the other 21 Championship clubs will be).

The Football League FFP regulations say "Clubs relegated from the Premier League will not be subject to sanctions in their first season in the Championship as long as they have met their financial obligations under Premier League regulations. They would, however, be subject to the potential of a Fair Play Tax if they achieved promotion in their first season in the Championship whilst not complying with the FFP regulations."

Exactly.
