With the amount of clubs spending way above there means, clubs coming down from the premiership and struggling is he playing a clever game or not ? Ok Town are not in a great financial position by any means, but from what we're told it's being run well ? | | | | |

I think they're waiting on the QPR case If FFP is shown to be toothless, we maybe able suggest the Football League have encouraged the club's sticking to it to be unfairly penalised? We were one of few clubs to vote against the relaxing of the rules? | |

Interesting because if it coes to court cases I see the 'Owners' of QPR as having much more money than the FA & as MP's have already voted that the FA is not fit for purpose QPR could have an open goal. | | | |

Scary, that could be us in 2 or 3 seasons if ME doesn't get it right in the summer. There must be quite a few clubs hanging by a thread at the moment, the question is, will the QPR court case work in everyones favour, or against? If QPR win, then FFP (in the Championship at least) is thrown out and agents and players continue to demand the kind of transfers and wages that only the richest clubs (ie those with parachute payments) can afford. If the FL win will they come down hard on the offending clubs now, will players' wage demands drop as they realise that clubs can't afford their £10-20k a week, and the only alternative is sitting on the bench at a PL club but never getting a game? | |

I'm not so sure, with more austerity cuts to start biting soon + inflation + increases in Council Tax & business rates a lot of people may find themselves a bit strapped for cash next season and gates receipts may fall even further as a greater No. of supporters pass into the 'Old Age' group. On top of that the MPs vote on EU citizens last week may mean a big decline in the number of EU players allowed to stay. We may well see the face of English football changes radically in which case Mr Evans is being sensible if he wants to protect his investment in very uncertain times | | | |

I'm not sure the QPR case has huge implications, given that FFP has already been considerably relaxed. What we don't know is what will happen to clubs who breach the new FFP rules & don't get promoted. We also don't know if the FL will still attempt to punish other clubs that breached FFP & got promoted, thereby temporarily escaping the jurisdiction of the FL, if they get relegated e.g. Leicester City. I would think that the scale of losses being incurred by many Championship clubs is unsustainable, but new, largely foreign, owners still seem to be arriving, willing to chuck money around e.g. Birmingham City. | |
