    We need to account for the fact that it's never their fault though, with Liverpool. <ok>

    Bruce says FFP case inevitable

    Hull manager Steve Bruce is adamant that UEFA's Financial Fair Play investigation into the club was unavoidable.

    Reports suggest Hull could be fined around £145,000 by UEFA today.

    But Bruce believes that UEFA's scrutiny of Hull was an inevitable consequence of the club's promotion to the Premier League and subsequent qualification for the Europa League.

    "Of course it's a concern but we understand that the only reason we're being investigated is because of when we were in the Championship. It's tough on us," said Bruce.

    "Most clubs, when they're in the Championship, would come under scrutiny - and because we qualified for a UEFA tournament - we've come under investigation."

    "And most clubs in the Championship would struggle to meet the financial fair play system. They're all trying their best now, but it's very difficult.

    "It's intriguing that Jose Mourinho said that he has to sell before he brings somebody in.

    "Certainly the way the club is from then on, we're in a very healthy position."

    Surely you have to make more as a business each year, but are Man c and Chelsea ?. And what about the £5 billion, Sky/BT pay the F A premier league, so who pays the clubs for t v coverage ?.

    Not sure of your point? FFP is fairly complex and can be breached in many ways

    Without Abramovitch Chelski would have been playing Leeds in League 1, so I hope (a) that FPP works and (b) that it is applied properly by the idiots that run the game.

    Surprised by Liverpool with their worldwide fan base and £60 million sale of Suarez.

    With their revenue, player sales and sponsorship is still not enough, how do the rest of us do it?

    Their wage can't be too critical, a lot of youth.

    Hull fined by Uefa for financial fair play breach, Liverpool cleared
    Hull have been fined £145,000 by Uefa for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, while Liverpool were cleared.

    City boss Steve Bruce feels the penalty was a result of the costs incurred getting Hull out of the Championship.

    They must pay an additional £290,000 if they are not compliant next season.

    "It's tough on us because the only reason we've come under investigation is a) we've qualified for a Uefa tournament and b) because of when we were in the Championship," Bruce said.

    Hull exited the Europa League at the final qualifying round stage.
