FFP what are the sanctions ?

[OldNick]

I read that we and other clubs promoted are hampered by FFP rules. I wonder what are the sanctions, is it 10 point penalty. If so it may be worth that to try and strengthen the squad like Forest, Leicester and Everton did as the penalties never covered what they gained. Leicester never even got theirs !!

I may be talking nonsense but if it is a 10 point penalty worth the gamble as the way it going if you get promoted youre going to go down dismally anyway

Im not sure if I had the choice, was I asked? If the clubs voted for it then I suppose so but Leicester did not get a penalty and so was the intention that if you wronged you got a penalty?

We don't have enough for a 10 point penalty at the moment

Some dopey people did because they thought we’d benefit from it somehow. However it was pretty obvious it was just a way to stop smaller clubs threatening the big ones

FFP is probably why different teams are able to compete for champions league football, but it also stops them from going further.

 

[SaintNewForest]

Don't the sanctions (or lack of, depending on which club is violating the rules) depend on the club and its value to the PL brand?

Saints under Cortese voted against it, he stated at the time that if a club like Saints gets an investor that wants to put money in that should be allowed. He said the change was going to hamper smaller clubs closing the gap and lo and behold, he was right.

Villa qualify for the champions league but have to sell to comply, Chelsea don’t but can still spend £200m this year £400m the year before and £550m the year before that. Make it make sense

He was right about a lot of things. As each season goes by we see any hope of the smaller clubs getting close to the big 6 Although to be fair Forest are having a go, but like the season Leicester won the league the real players were in transition and so Forest can be up there but we all know that can't last.

13th January is the day we find out which clubs need to answer for any PSR breaches. 
 

it will then come down to whether club lawyers can state the rules do not apply.

Leicester face charges again , last time they got away by filing their accounts after relegation so claimed they wern't in the Prem so rules didn't apply to them so got off the hook !!!

absolute farce , I have become to dislike Leicester a great deal. Their fans are so entitled and have an opinion of their club being much bigger/important than they are.

Nasty comment lol. Just as you have lived in Leicestershire doesn't mean I can't have a dislike of their fanbase. Yes they have won a lot more than us. Since Ive been going in the late 1960's they were also rans, much like us, difference is they were in the lower leagues below us a lot of the time. They started to pick up under O'neill and won a couple League cups, before the more recent highs. The recent history has made their fans entitled and arrogant, only have to listen to them on the radio and their cocky opinions of grandeur. Anyway, thats my opinion and im sure your friends are decent but overall I feel their fans are awful

Leicester is a fucking horrible club.

Perennial cheats, and an absolute shit of a person as their talisman player.

Can't disagree with your comment.
His bloody wife is just as bad in her field....what ever that is!!!
All that said, I wonder what our collective view would be if we had, as reported at the time, signed him (for approx £1m? when he was playing for Fleetwood.
Whatever we all say about the git, you can't dispute his ability to score goals and if he had signed for us, VVD would not have got crocked.

As Farmer would point out, cows are generally found in a field.

 

Vardy is a thick potty-mouthed weasel-faced runt, has always been so. When he was at Fleetwood he was asked to visit the primary school my wife taught in. Every other word he uttered was 'fuck' or 'fucking'.

I'm glad you guys seem to share the same opinion of Vardy that I have. Absolute cock socket

It's a toss up between him and Bruno Fernandes for who is the most hateful player in the PL.

Whatever FFP sanctions are they can't be as bad as the penalties for letting Rasmus and Henrik loose with the owners credit card.

Fortunately Vardy is experiencing karma via marriage.
