Financial Fair Play / Profit & Sustainability
Colos Short and Curlies replied to Mattoon's topic in Football
The time it would take to do that would make it defunct - either FFP disappears or the rules change to prevent it. If we had plans to move training ground and/or stadium we could see any land that we own around it to the owners (they are developers after all) and then rent the current facilities whilst the new one is being built, that should pass the requirements. Shame we don't own the land under SJP, that would be worth a decent wedge, certainly when put next to our income requirements for the next couple of years -
If we have accelerated recognising his wages then its very likely (I'd say pretty much 100%) that any residual transfer fee on the books would have been written off at the same time so releasing him will have nil impact on FFP

Was hoping we'd have the Adidas kit on for this

He probably needs a trophy next season. Conference or league cup will do.

maybe but they may have to wait until they are relegated again. You can bring many examples where big spending clubs go down (us in 2015/16 springs to mind) and where clubs who don’t spend stay up. so the points deduction and spend restriction wouldn’t be enough on their own to win a case - I think anyway 😂 -

There's another key reason why we haven't (yet) challenged any of this - we would have no chance of winning as it stands. Any club would really need to be able to show a detriment from the rules otherwise you are arguing against a hypothetical. If we took the rules to court as being anti-competitive we'd be putting forward a position where the rules restricted us to being the 4th biggest net spenders over the ownership period, finishing 4th and then getting into the champions league whilst looking competitive for a top 6 finish this year. It's not yet a compelling case. We've also added a Brazilian international, an England Goalkeeper and Right Back to the squad along with breaking our transfer record on Isak and spending big on Tonali. So far its not looking like the regulations have stopped us becoming more competitive (taking the fan blinkers off) Everton won't challenge it now, the points deduction hasn't resulted in any great loss. Forest may if they get relegated -
He should score more then obviously

All we need is for one slip up from the old six complaining that FFP is anti competition (will be Chelsea) and we sweep in ‘ah yes it is, let’s scrap it’ -
Send him to Holland next season

10 points could be enough for 5th can see spurs losing their next 3 and then the pressure is seriously on them. Or they beat Chelsea and that’s them out of the running. that fucking Everton pen, we hold on there and it would definitely be on. ftr I don’t think we’ll get 10 points after the palace performance. Looking at 7 imo - but includes a win at old Trafford -
I think a 6 month covenant has a good chance of being seen as reasonable, especially if it was restricts to premier league clubs. if it was 6 months notice and 12 months restriction or worldwide then it may well be seen as restricting his ability to work
