No FFP losses are "only" 26.5m for the current period, helped by a near 16m profit made 4 years ago. Next year will be very tricky for them though unless they manage to bring in a decent wedge from sales.
Not sure they’ve a huge lot to sell
It’s not like us this year where we’ve just had to cut right back - they surely need to make a huge profit this season and that isn’t happening
They used to sell very well - but think they reinvested a lot of that on pretty average players on high wages
Seems their wages has gone down by about £5m, but there are still players like Wells that are earning in excess of £20k a week according to some reports which he doesn't justify.
We were in a better position as we've had players that could have been sold over the years. Literally if we sold Moore and Swift when interest was high, we could have pocketed £10-15m for both of them and how different the situation would have looked then. Hindsight is 20-20 I suppose.
It would have looked the same... we breached FFP by £18m despite transfer embargos.
Had we sold Moore for the £8m Brighton were willing to part with, we'd have £8m off that and a couple million from not paying his ridiculous wage, but we'd have just spunked half of it up the wall on a one legged Hungarian and avoided the FL forcing us to reign it in a bit slightly longer.
