Reading other posts that makes a nonsense of what you put is a weakness though. :roll:

Interesting piece by David Conn on the Championship and FFP. Link at the top goes to the story about Leicester (and others) threatening legal action against the FL over their FFP sanctions.

I should hope we are !!

Simply plucking rules from mid-air which relate to historical spending and then without real specifics concerning penalties ... and not being the same rules in different, related arenas seems open for legal challenge.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I guess the three have more to lose than the twenty one.

Hardly sounds like plucking rules from mid-air.

QPR have announced that they lost over £65 million last season, could they end up like Leeds ?

Probably as good a chance as well do. At least if they get promoted they might have a chance.

He has broken a lot of clubs. Fair play to him that he still seems to have supporters after all that.

You know, after reading all this stuff. Despite it being quite clear that administration isn't an option, I think that we all should say we should go into administration so this troll disappears.

He left Southampton in tatters. Wet Spam were spent when he exited. Bournemouth were in a tailspin when he left them.

He has this wheeler dealer tag which suggests an eye for a bargain when in reality he always spends a fair whack. That won't be possible if QPR are in the Championship next season and he'll jump ship and pretend he's nobly falling on his sword, a fallacy that will be backed by his arsehole mates in the London/national press.
He's clearly a talented manager but the mythologising that goes on around him infuriates me.
