From the BBC:
Blackburn Rovers, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have failed to meet Financial Fair Play rules for the division and will face a transfer embargo from 1 January, 2015 for the remainder of the season, the Football League has confirmed.

During the 2013-14 season, all three clubs exceeded a maximum permitted deviation of £8m.

That consists of a maximum adjusted operating loss of £3m plus a further maximum of £5m of shareholder investment.

Interesting!

So we did it then.

Does that mean we and the others made it, or that those three were the only three missing it by enough to get a transfer ban? Thought the ban was discretionary.

Story I read had many clubs still being queried.

It is interesting though that we've not failed just by looking at page 1 of our submission, which is what it felt like could happen.
