HitchytwoSnowflake Royal From what I understand, if Wednesday didn't do the creative accounting they'd have got a punishment for breaching FFP anyway.
Presumably if Derby sold the stadium at market value so would they.
From what I've heard on the news, Wednesday did sell there stadium but the sale was too late for the FFP and therefore did not count. As such they are still being punished for breaking FFP.
As I understand it Sheffield got done for including the ground sale in the financial year before the sale actually happened to comply with FFP criteria, so if the ground sale had been included in the correct accounts they would have been fined for a FFP breach. I don't think it is anything to do with what they sold Hillsborough for.
