Financial Fair Play (FFP)

If ours is Week Commencing 22nd, Everton are like 2 weeks behind us. So likely to find out after the season ends which is a disgrace in itself
Yep, why havent they started it already. Or are they too busy congratulating Chelsea on how many hotels they own or getting all those issues with man city lined up so they can forget all about them next season too.

I agree,it is a disgrace-but I don‘t think Everton will be in the bottom 3 when the season ends
(appeal or no appeal) so it’s probably irrelevant in terms of the drop.
The result of the Forest appeal will be known before the final round of fixtures on May 19 so
it will be clear at the close of play whether Forest or Luton are relegated.

Unless we win at Goodison Cloughie 🤞🤞

Even in the event of Forest winning at Everton I don’t think they will finish in the bottom 3,Robbo-they still have a home ‘banker’ against Sheffield United and winnable games
remaining against Brentford and Luton (they also have the best goal difference of the sides near the bottom).
Unless they enter administration…….

More like too busy waiting to see the final standings. Should we survive, 1 or 2 points back. Should we be bottom 3, nothing back.

Sorry this Chelsea hotel business surely brings more questions if they are allowed to include in PSR? London real estate is a hell of a lot more expensive in comparison to any other city in the UK and puts any London club at a huge advantage if they can sell off assets like that, albeit to themselves. I don’t have the knowledge that some have on PSR and legalities of it all but if a club can sell a hotel for such an enormous sum, due to their geographical location, then surely that should be deemed an unfair advantage.

I've not got an issue with clubs selling an outside asset such as a hotel etc as it's a business at the end of the day and if it can generate funds for the club that's fine. I just don't think it should be included as part of their profit inclusion for PSR just the same way that infrastructure doesn't count against PSR.

But the thing is if Infrastructure costs aren't included in PSR why can a Sale of infrastructure be used in the PSR calculations

That’s where I see an issue in that it counts towards PSR. To get close to the rumoured 75 mill they are raising we would be looking at MGW or Murillo along with another 20 mill player. It really doesn’t sit right with me that they can whack a hotel sale on to their PSR and the Premier League deem that acceptable.

Can't see it myself.

All 20 clubs have accounts released. EPL has been through them all, 2 were charged. Independent analysts have been all over them too, some raising questions but little of significance.

For it to be true, everyone has to have missed something big or the club has to have committed a deception. I'll not hold my breath.

And for it to be a club not already mentioned, and the offence serious enough for relegation.

So not city, chelsea, us, everton or sheff utd then.

And something which no-one has heard of apart from this person who, no-one has heard of either but apparently knows this.

Will believe it when I see it

Looks like even the PL has realised how inept the PL is and are hoping to get the Everton appeal sorted before the PL season ends...

To balance the books we will be obliged to sell our top notch players (all of them) by 30th June.
Transfer window opens 14th June (2 days before the river fishing season opens), so we will be obliged to take waht we can or face another swingeing points deduction.
So,:
MGW to Newcastle for £10m
Murillo to Barca for £5m
Danilo to Leicester for £5m
Sels to Standard Liege for £3m
Hudson-Odoi to Chelsea for £5m
Elanga to ManUre for £50m (them mugs paid £85m for Antony!!!)
Wood to Saudi arabia for £10m

That should ensure we are financially stable...
It's a great system the EPL are imposing.
Suits everyone down to the ground!

So if EM builds the new stand and the 100+ apartments - whic he could say he was building for the 'staff' and then decides to to sell them for £50m - that would be ok by the epl then
Well as it stands it would be...until they remember it's Forests accounts and whack us with an 8 point deduction
